Bestech Freefall BT2007B – S35VN EDC Folding Knife by Jason Clark
The Bestech Freefall BT2007B is a compact EDC folding knife designed by Jason Clark, built around a 2.65" S35VN blade and a black titanium handle with black orange G10 scales. Weighing 82g and closing to 3.78", the Freefall BT2007B strikes an ideal balance between premium materials and everyday usability — a liner lock folder built for carry and use, not just the display case.
Blade: 2.65" S35VN, Black Stonewash + Flat Satin
The Bestech Freefall BT2007B blade is ground from CPM S35VN — a powder metallurgy stainless steel developed by Crucible Industries that offers excellent toughness, strong corrosion resistance, and a refined edge compared to earlier S30V. The dual black stonewash + flat satin finish gives the blade a distinctive two-tone character: the stonewash areas provide a dark, non-reflective working surface while the flat satin sections create bright visual contrast and highlight the grind geometry. At 3.2mm thick, the blade is slim enough for precise tasks while still offering real backbone.
Handle: Black Titanium + Black Orange G10, Liner Lock
The handle of the Bestech Freefall BT2007B combines a black titanium frame with black orange G10 scales — a pairing that blends titanium's lightweight strength with G10's texture and grip. The orange accents in the G10 add a high-visibility element that makes the knife easy to locate in a bag or pocket, and nod to the Freefall's action-oriented design DNA. The liner lock provides reliable, time-tested lockup with a slim profile that keeps the overall package thin and pocket-friendly. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth, fast deployment.
Jason Clark Design, EDC Proportions
The Bestech Freefall BT2007B was designed by Jason Clark, an American custom knife maker known for practical, refined EDC geometry. The Freefall's 6.42" overall length and 2.65" blade hit the sweet spot for urban and everyday carry — long enough to be useful, short enough to be legal and unobtrusive in most settings. At 82g (2.89 oz), it is light enough for all-day pocket carry without becoming a nuisance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steel does the Bestech Freefall BT2007B use?
The Bestech Freefall BT2007B uses CPM S35VN blade steel by Crucible Industries — a refined version of S30V that adds niobium carbides to improve toughness and make the steel easier to sharpen while maintaining excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. S35VN is widely considered one of the best all-around premium stainless steels for everyday carry knives, offering a strong balance of performance across real-world use cases.
What is the difference between a liner lock and a frame lock on a folding knife?
On the Bestech Freefall BT2007B, the liner lock uses a separate spring steel liner inside the handle that flexes laterally to engage the blade tang when open. On frame lock knives like the Bestech Icarus BT2302B or Bestech Togatta BT2102D, the handle frame itself acts as the locking element. Liner locks tend to result in a slimmer, lighter handle because they use thinner materials, making them well-suited to knives like the Freefall where comfortable pocket carry is a priority.
How does the Bestech Freefall BT2007B compare to the Bestech Icarus BT2302B?
Both the Bestech Freefall BT2007B and the Bestech Icarus BT2302B are compact EDC folding knives with 2.65" blades, but they differ in several ways. The Icarus BT2302B uses M390 steel and a titanium frame lock, weighing 66g. The Freefall BT2007B uses S35VN steel with a liner lock and a titanium + G10 handle, weighing 82g. The Icarus is more minimal in appearance with a clean titanium profile; the Freefall has a more aggressive look with its black orange G10 and two-tone blade finish. Both are excellent compact EDC options — choice depends on steel preference, lock type, and aesthetic.
Is the Bestech Freefall BT2007B good for everyday carry?
Yes. The Bestech Freefall BT2007B is designed specifically for everyday carry. The 2.65" S35VN blade is appropriate for daily tasks and legal in most US jurisdictions. At 82g and 3.78" closed, it sits comfortably in a front pocket without printing. The liner lock is fast and reliable for one-handed use, and the ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures smooth, consistent deployment even with extended use.
