The Bestech Ornetta is a remarkable pocket knife, conceived by the visionary designer Grabarski Grzegorz, also revered as 'Kombou' among knife enthusiasts. Kombou's innovative design philosophy has been instrumental in forging iconic collaborations with Bestech, such as the formidable Bestech Eskra. The Ornetta continues this legacy, exemplifying the superior craftsmanship synonymous with Kombou's work.
This folding EDC knife features a sleek, elongated blade with a flat-grind, ensuring excellent cutting performance while maintaining robustness against breakage. The blade's drop point silhouette is forged from premium D2 tool steel, known for its aggressive cutting ability and enhanced resistance to wear. A distinctive satin finish, complemented by a partial sandwash, gives the knife its unique aesthetic.
The knife's rapid deployment is facilitated by a bearing-mounted pivot and a flipper that doubles as a handguard, preventing slippage onto the blade. In its open state, the blade is securely locked in place by a dependable liner-lock, with added safety provided by jimping on the blade's spine for secure thumb placement.
The ergonomic handle is constructed from two liners affixed to the frame with screws, utilizing G10 laminate to achieve a lightweight yet robust build. The handle's textured surface ensures a firm grip, even in dirty or wet conditions. The knife's portability is enhanced by a spring-loaded steel clip, allowing for easy attachment to a belt, pocket edge, or gear. A hole at the handle's base permits the threading of a safety line, lanyard, or keyring.

Designer - Grzegorz 'Kombou' Grabarski is a Polish graphic designer, photographer, and esteemed knife designer at Bestech Knives. His unorthodox designs challenge traditional knife aesthetics, and his extensive collaboration with Bestech has culminated in beautifully crafted knives that stand out for their exceptional materials and distinctive appearance.
D2 Steel - This high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel is heat-treated to a hardness of 59-60 HRC. Its significant chromium content of 13.0% (Cr) endows it with superior corrosion resistance compared to other high-carbon steels. It strikes a balance between strength, edge retention, ease of sharpening, and wear resistance, thanks to its rich carbide microstructure.
Blade - The drop point blade features a dual Stonewash / Satin finish. Its extended cutting edge narrows to a precision tip. The blade's plain edge is reinforced for durability, and its thickness, along with a high flat grind, optimizes cutting performance. The blade's opening is supported by ceramic ball bearings, enabling three methods of deployment, including a swift flipper that serves as a guard when opened. The knife can also be opened via a hole in the blade, all secured by a modern Liner Lock.
Handle - The contoured composite G10 handle (a fusion of fiberglass and synthetic resin) offers excellent grip in various positions. The edges of the covers are chamfered to remove any sharpness. Affixed to a solid steel backspacer, the handle features a hole for attaching a safety or decorative cord. The pivot is adorned with a stylized 'B', and the blade bears the ‘Kombou’ Logo. A steel, single-position, right-side deep carry clip allows for discreet pocket carry in a tip-up position. A forefinger groove enhances grip security.
