Unboxing the Bestech Snakebird

The Bestech Snakebird arrives in a sleek, modern box that immediately catches the eye.

The unboxing experience feels polished and well-executed, adding to the excitement of getting your hands on this EDC gem.

The Bestech Snakebird: Design and Features

The star of the show is, of course, the Bestech Snakebird itself. This review focuses on the Green & Black Micarta variant, but the Snakebird comes in five distinct variants, each offering unique handle materials and aesthetics: Purple G10, Transparent G10, Black G10, Green Micarta, and Black Micarta. As of this review’s release, all five variants are available for purchase on our website, so there’s something for every taste and style.

Handle and Ergonomics

The Snakebird’s handle is crafted from Green & Black Micarta, which provides a rugged yet refined look. The material is textured enough to offer a secure grip without being overly abrasive, making it comfortable for extended use. The handle measures 4.88 inches in length, fitting comfortably in the hand for a variety of tasks, whether you’re slicing through packages or tackling light outdoor chores.

Unfortunately, the Snakebird does not feature a lanyard hole, which might be a minor drawback for those who like to customize their knives with lanyards. However, it does come equipped with a reversible pocket clip, a fantastic feature for both right- and left-handed users. The clip is discreet and well-tensioned, ensuring the knife stays securely in your pocket without being obtrusive.

Lock Mechanism

The Snakebird employs a button lock mechanism, which is smooth, reliable, and satisfying to use. The button lock allows for quick, one-handed deployment and secure locking, making it ideal for everyday carry. The action is crisp, with no blade play, ensuring confidence during use.

Blade Details

The heart of the Snakebird is its 3.5-inch 14C28N steel blade, which boasts a sheepsfoot blade style. This design is excellent for slicing tasks, offering a flat cutting edge that excels at precision work like breaking down cardboard or opening packages. The blade features a stonewashed and satin finish, giving it a sleek, two-tone aesthetic that’s both functional and visually appealing. The flat grind further enhances its slicing performance while maintaining strength for tougher tasks.

While the Snakebird does not have thumb studs, it uses a flipper tab for smooth, one-handed opening. The blade also includes jimping along the spine, providing excellent control for detailed cuts or when applying extra pressure. The Bestech logo is subtly etched on the right side of the blade, adding a touch of branding without overwhelming the clean design.

Specifications

Here’s a quick rundown of the Snakebird’s key measurements:

• Handle Length: 4.88 inches

• Blade Length: 3.5 inches

• Overall Length: 8.38 inches

These dimensions make the Snakebird a perfect mid-size EDC knife—compact enough to carry comfortably but substantial enough to handle a wide range of tasks.

Final Thoughts

The Bestech Snakebird is a standout addition to Bestech’s lineup, combining high-quality materials, thoughtful design, and excellent performance. The Green & Black Micarta handle offers a balance of durability and style, while the 14C28N sheepsfoot blade delivers reliable cutting power. The button lock and reversible pocket clip add to its practicality, making it a versatile choice for knife enthusiasts and everyday users alike.

With five variants available, there’s a Snakebird for everyone, whether you prefer the vibrant Purple G10 or the sleek Black Micarta. All variants are available on our website as of this review’s release, so be sure to check them out.
