Unboxing the Bestech Ivy

When you first receive the Bestech Ivy, you're greeted with a clean, minimalist box. The exterior features the distinctive Bestech logo along with a sleek, modern font that hints at the quality inside. The color scheme is simple yet elegant—black with touches of metallic or white accents. The front of the box clearly displays the name of the knife—"Ivy"—alongside the brand’s logo, giving it an immediate premium feel. On the back, you’ll find some basic product information, such as the model and other key details.

Inside the box, Bestech doesn’t skimp on the extras. You'll find a soft cleaning cloth to keep your blade spotless, along with a set of branded stickers, adding a personal touch to your unboxing experience. It’s the little things that make the difference, and Bestech makes sure you get that with their packaging.

First Impressions of the Knife

The Bestech Ivy is available in a variety of different configurations—13 variants in total—so there’s plenty to choose from depending on your preferences. Today, we’re looking at one specific variant, but rest assured, there’s something for everyone.

Handle & Grip
The handle is made of durable black G10, providing a strong and textured grip. It measures 4.04 inches in length, offering a solid, comfortable hold. There’s no lanyard hole on this model, but the overall ergonomics of the handle still feel great, making it easy to handle even for extended periods. The design is sleek and practical, with just enough texture to keep your hand secure without being too rough or abrasive.

Blade & Lock Mechanism
One of the standout features of the Ivy is the 14C28N steel blade. This blade is 3.09 inches long and comes in a stonewashed finish that not only looks great but also offers fantastic corrosion resistance. The flat grind ensures that the cutting edge is sharp and precise, making this knife versatile for a variety of cutting tasks. The blade opens smoothly via thumb studs, giving you excellent control and quick deployment.

As for the lock, the Ivy uses a linerlock mechanism, which is reliable and easy to use. The blade stays securely in place during use, and closing it is just as smooth and simple.

Additional Features
While the Ivy features a pocket clip for easy carry, it's not reversible, which could be a limitation for left-handed users. Still, the clip sits comfortably in the pocket and is low-profile enough not to snag on clothing. Jimping along the spine of the blade provides extra traction for your thumb, allowing for better control during detailed cuts or tasks that require more precision.
