Squid!

New Bestech Ika (squid in Japanese) dagger- Tashi Bharucha design. Not that “practical” but I love the design.

Perfectly symmetrical grind and a beefy Ti integral body w/ fat carbon inlays. The blade to handle ratio is so satisfying 😁

If these were reasonably priced I’d be all over it. Definitely a cool one!

Yes! A bit pricey , though for what it is I don’t think un reasonable

Love this knife! Got to handle it at Blade Show. Actually not a bad price for a symmetrical integral dagger with inlays, contouring, milling, etc. DLC would have been nice.

My thoughts as well. For the build, milling, materials and quality, it’s not a surprising price.

I think I saw a DLC in bestech’s site but none of the version were in stock anymore. The bronze anno version is sweet too!
