Bestech QUQU Knife Polished Ultem, Black DLC 14C28N by Gogo (BG57D-2)

Ququ Polished Ultem, Black DLC is the remarkable story of a little girl Gogo, who wanted a knife that resembled her favorite cricket. And usually in life, dreams end. But if your mother is the co-owner of Bestech and the extremely talented “uncle” Ostap Helium helps you with the design, dreams become reality. Starting with Gogo's idea, Ostap Helium began tweaking, refining and fine-tuning the details. Along the way, he decided on such a specification of the Ququ that this one could belong to the unique category of knives that could be the first cutting tool for a responsible child. This design, first and foremost, was to meet the specific expectations and needs of an 8-year-old girl; an adorable little tool that can be carried with her and easily handled during outings and perform basic cutting tasks.

14C28N - a martensitic chromium stainless steel - is the latest development in a range of knife steels produced by Sweden's Sandvik steel mills . An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination provides superior quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the amount of carbon 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly improved. Considered an improved version of 13C26 steel. Unbeatable in the price/quality category!

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - Spear Point type , coated with black DLC coating. Plain Plain blade , with a central grain for strength enhancement. The thickness of the blade and the high, flat grind give excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Blade is set on ceramic Ball bearings that support the work of the blade's opening mechanism, allowing you to efficiently unfold the folder with the release of the lock button and a light flick of the wrist. The whole is locked with a modern Button Lock.

ULTEM™ - a plastic belonging to the family of Polyethermoids or simply PEI. This material is characterized primarily by high mechanical and impact strength with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is also characterized by high thermal resistance (180⁰C) and high chemical resistance to all kinds of solvents (synthetic and natural), lubricants or other chemicals. Adding to this total insensitivity to weather conditions, we get an ideal material for knife handles.

Handle grips made of polished, transparent Ultem™, a virtually indestructible material, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The milled pattern on the Handle, in addition to aesthetic impressions, also has a purely practical application improving grip reliability. The open-backed design reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. Pivot axis decorated with the company's logo. A single-position, right-side deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up).
