Featuring a STANLEY heavy-duty utility blade and T6061 hard anodized aluminum handle, this step-lock knife delivers reliable performance in demanding tasks. At 125mm open length, the 0.6mm stainless steel blade resists corrosion while maintaining a sharp edge. The satin stainless steel clip and hardware ensure durability and professional aesthetics. Weighing minimally with a 9.7mm handle thickness, it fits comfortably in your pocket or toolbelt. Whether you're tackling construction work, detailed cutting, or general utility needs, the Bestechman Slide offers consistent, low-maintenance performance with superior corrosion resistance ideal for moisture-prone environments and daily carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel Blade Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned for its high chromium composition, a stainless steel blade offers superior corrosion and oxidation resistance, making it virtually maintenance-free and exceptionally reliable in moisture-heavy or everyday carry environments. It maintains a clean, refined aesthetic without tarnishing easily. However, this rust immunity involves inherent trade-offs: compared to specialized carbon steels, many stainless formulations exhibit lower impact toughness and edge stability, often proving either quicker to lose a razor edge or substantially more difficult to resharpen in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtility knife-Step Lock\u003cbr\u003eBlade material：STANLEY Heavy-Duty Utility Blade, Model 11-921H-22\u003cbr\u003eHandle material：T6061 hard anodized aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandle surface：Grey anodized\u003cbr\u003eOverall length：125mm\u003cbr\u003eClosed length：88.9mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade thickness：0.6mm\u003cbr\u003eHandle thickness：9.7mm\u003cbr\u003eClip：Stainless steel, satin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScrew：Stainless steel, bead blast\u003cbr\u003eHandle screw：Stainless steel, satin\u003cbr\u003eHardware：Stainless steel, bead blast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBestechman Slide BMK23B - Step Lock Utility Knife with a Grey Hard Anodized Aluminium Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bestechman-knives\"\u003eBestechman\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/utility-knife\"\u003eSlide\u003c\/a\u003e BMK23B is a 125 mm step-lock utility knife: a grey hard anodized T6061 aluminium body around a replaceable STANLEY 11-921H-22 heavy-duty blade. 88.9 mm closed, 9.7 mm thick, stainless satin clip.

The handle is T6061 aluminium with a hard anodized finish grown into the surface rather than painted on, so it will not flake off in a toolkit. The step lock is the third piece: a notched channel with a spring-loaded step that holds the blade at partial extension, which is what you want when you are scoring rather than cutting through.
