Pocket Knife Bestech Texel Yellow

This Bestech Texel Yellow pocket knife has a sheepsfoot blade, hence the knife is named after world’s best-known sheep breed, the Dutch Texel sheep.

By skeletonising the liners and only apply a backspacer to the rear of the handle to double as a lanyard hole, the weight of the Bestech Texel Yellow could be kept as low as 101 grams. The blade rotates in ball bearings between the liners and is made from incredibly robust D2 steel (hardness HRC 59-61) that’s very tough and shows an exceptional edge retention, so sharpening intervals are wide apart. The liner lock securely holds the blade when fully deployed, preventing it from folding back on your fingers. Opening, by the way, can be done one-handed by using the flipper.

The scales of the Bestech Texel Yellow pocket knife are made from G10 laminate. This top material is very popular for knife handles and is made under high pressure and high temperatures where woven glass fibres and synthetic resin are pressed together. G10 is extremely water resistant, isn’t sensitive for temperature changes, can take a beating and offers a good grip.
