Looks like a good deal on 'Drop' and a really nice looking knife.
Anyone have or handle one?

Also vote for your favorite color combo :)

That blue looks nice. Other than that it is very "Massdroppy", not necessarily a bad thing,but not my thing.

Edit: I no type good

I own a couple of Bestechs and have had a couple more pass through my hands. They seem like decent knives, somewhere below WE and Reate on fit and finish, but somewhere a little ahead of Kizer. The big problem I have with Bestech is uninspiring designs. Either their knives don't resonate at all with me, or they seem a little compelling, like the Pterodactyl, until I realize I've already seen it made by WE Kives...three years ago.

Bestechs are just another anodized titanium framelock flipper face-in-the-crowd. It's getting a little tiresome, really.

I'm also not a fan of them not standing behind their knives unless you can provide an original purchase receipt. It seriously damages their value in a resale environment.

Did you handle any of their higher end stuff?
Can you think of a comparable model from WE?
Just looking a materials, design, fit and finish. I have no brand loyalty and don't care for paying more just for the name of a 'quality' brand.
I've handled a couple Kizer vanguard but nothing from their premium line but see they are priced like they are higher quality than bestech.
 
120+ views but only 13 votes, me sad.

No love for the color blue so far.
The green and gold looks very nice to me, the bronze too but the blue accents i'm not sure about
 
If I had to choose a color, blue would be it. I like the accents more as it seems to match the overall scheme a bit better, at least in my eyes. Bronze is a close second.

No love for the brand or designs. They make knives for looks. Not knives to cut. And that's if you like there designs anyway. They don't look appealing to me.
 
Well i couldn't pull the trigger, The warranty issue is similar even with other companies selling 1200$ knives.
The way the CF is attached questionable and I cooled off about how much i like the design.
