BESTECH Noctar Knife Review

Hello everyone, and welcome back! Today we’re taking a close look at a brand-new folding knife from Bestech Knives — the Bestech Noctar. This is a fresh design that blends modern styling with practical, everyday usability, so let’s jump right in and see what it brings to the table.

Unboxing & Packaging

The Bestech Noctar arrives in Bestech’s familiar, clean packaging. The box features a sleek, minimal design with the Bestech logo prominently displayed on the front. The color scheme is understated and modern, matching the brand’s overall aesthetic. On the back of the box, you’ll find basic product information and branding details.

Inside the box, Bestech includes a few extras alongside the knife itself. You’ll find a cleaning cloth to help keep the blade and handle looking fresh, along with Bestech stickers, which are always a nice bonus for collectors and fans of the brand.

The Knife Itself

Once you get the Noctar in hand, it’s immediately clear that this knife was designed with comfort and everyday carry in mind. This particular version features blue-gray G10 handle scales, giving it a clean, modern look with plenty of grip. The handle feels solid in hand, with a shape that fills the palm nicely and offers confident control during use.

There is no lanyard hole on the Noctar, keeping the design streamlined, but it does include a pocket clip. The clip is reversible, allowing for left- or right-handed tip-up carry, which is always appreciated. In the pocket, the knife rides securely and comfortably without feeling bulky.

Locking Mechanism & Deployment

The Bestech Noctar uses a crossbar lock, which provides smooth, ambidextrous operation and solid lockup. The action is easy to demonstrate and operate, making it a great option for both experienced users and those newer to crossbar-style locks.

The blade deploys via thumb studs, offering quick, reliable one-handed opening. Jimping is present where it counts, giving your thumb extra traction and control during use.

Blade Details

The blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, a popular choice known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The blade features a drop point profile, making it versatile enough for a wide range of everyday cutting tasks.

Bestech finished the blade with a gray PVD coating, which not only looks great but also adds an extra layer of protection. The blade features a flat grind, contributing to smooth slicing performance and overall practicality.

Size & Specifications

Here’s a quick breakdown of the Bestech Noctar’s dimensions:

• Handle Length: 5.15”

• Blade Length: 3.71”

• Overall Length: 8.86”

These proportions place the Noctar comfortably in the full-size EDC category without feeling oversized.
