The Bestech Scimitar is what I’d call a “no-nonsense” EDC folder. It’s big enough to handle serious work, compact enough to carry every day, and built with materials that just work. I’ve been carrying all six variants—the BG05A-1, BG05A-2, BG05B-1, BG05B-2, BG05C-1, and BG05C-2—and they share a solid, capable platform. The 3.5-inch D2 steel blade, smooth ceramic ball bearing pivot, and reliable liner lock are consistent across all. At 121 grams and a closed length of 4.72 inches, it’s a substantial yet carry-friendly EDC. The differences lie in handle color (black, army green, or beige) and blade finish (stonewash+satin or gray+satin), giving you six distinct options.
The Shared Foundation: A Mid-Size D2 Platform
Every Scimitar shares the same thoughtful design. The 3.5-inch D2 steel blade is a proven workhorse—excellent edge retention and toughness for everyday and tactical tasks. The 3.5mm blade thickness gives it confidence for heavier cuts. The ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures smooth, snappy deployment, and the liner lock is secure and easy to disengage. The G10 handle is ergonomically shaped with a textured surface for a secure grip, and the steel clip is reversible. The overall length is 8.23 inches—a full-sized blade that’s still pocket-friendly. The handle color and blade finish are where you make it your own.
The Black G10 Scimitars (BG05A-1 & BG05A-2): Classic Stealth
The black G10 versions are the most understated of the group. The BG05A-1 features a black G10 handle with a stonewash + satin blade—classic, forgiving, and professional. The BG05A-2 pairs the same black handle with a gray + satin blade, adding a modern, subtle contrast. Both weigh 121 grams. These are for those who prefer a timeless, low-profile look that blends into any environment.
The Army Green G10 Scimitars (BG05B-1 & BG05B-2): Outdoor Naturalist
The army green G10 versions add a touch of nature. The BG05B-1 features an army green G10 handle with a stonewash + satin blade—earthy, rugged, and ready for the trail. The BG05B-2 pairs the same green handle with a gray + satin blade, creating a more modern, subdued tactical look. Both are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who want a knife that blends in with nature.
The Beige G10 Scimitars (BG05C-1 & BG05C-2): Warm Neutralist
The beige G10 versions offer a warm, neutral alternative. The BG05C-1 features a beige G10 handle with a stonewash + satin blade—clean, versatile, and easy to spot. The BG05C-2 pairs the same beige handle with a gray + satin blade, adding a modern touch to the warm base. These are ideal for those who prefer lighter earth tones and a more distinctive look.
Which Scimitar Fits Your Style?
All six share the same excellent design and the reliable D2 steel. The black G10 versions are classic stealth. The army green G10 versions are outdoor naturalists. The beige G10 versions are warm neutralists. And within each color, you can choose between a classic stonewash+satin blade or a modern gray+satin finish. Whichever you choose, you’re getting a full-sized, mid-weight EDC folder that’s built to handle whatever the day brings—in a color that fits your personality.
