Opis
Wet Nellie Black/Bronze, Satin is an example of how technical precision can go hand in hand with avant-garde aesthetics. Created by Gregory “Kombou” Grabarski, it combines futuristic lines with thoughtful ergonomics, offering a unique experience both visually and in use. The design uses advanced materials and high-end mechanical details, while maintaining a refined, elegant character. Interestingly, the inspiration for this model came from the iconic Lotus Esprit from the James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me,” fondly called “Wet Nellie” by the film crew. The centerpiece is a Blade made of modern CPM MagnaCut powder steel, valued for its sharpness retention, abrasion resistance and full corrosion resistance – even in wet or marine environments. The dynamic profile and aggressive blade geometry allow precise, confident cuts in a variety of conditions. The titanium Handle is distinguished by refined milling, which gives a modern look and improves grip. The frame-lock design with hardened locking inlay ensures rigidity and safety in use. Ball bearing precision and flipper allow the blade to be opened effortlessly, while the titanium deep carry clip guarantees convenient and discreet carrying of the knife. Wet Nellie is a folder that perfectly meets the expectations of collectors and users looking for a premium tool, which is at the same time an expression of modern design and technical excellence.
Grzegorz “Kombou” Grabarski – Polish graphic designer, photographer and talented designer, the main creator of knife designs at Bestech Knives. Known for his unconventional ideas, breaking the stereotypes of knife design. A long collaboration with Bestech has resulted in exquisitely crafted knives made of the best materials, with a unique look.
CPM MagnaCut – powder stainless steel produced by the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened to 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more “conventional” steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This exceptional steel is produced at Crucible® Industries’ U.S. steel mills.
Blade – made of MagnaCut powder steel combines high hardness with excellent corrosion resistance and sharpness retention, providing one of the most advanced solutions in utility knives. The drop point profile with dynamic, technical lines facilitates precise cutting and blade control. The satin finish gives the wedge an elegant look and protects it from the marks of use. Thanks to the flipper and Ball bearing, opening is instant, intuitive and resistance-free, which makes the blade work harmoniously with the entire knife design.
Handle – made of titanium is a combination of elegance, strength and modern design. The milling not only creates a consistent aesthetic, but also improves ergonomics and grip in any working position. Titanium grips offer low weight, high rigidity and resistance to mechanical damage. The button frame lock mechanism with steel inlay provides stability and security during heavy use. The deep-carry clip allows for deep, discreet carrying of the folder, and the precise chamfers, backspacer and fit of the components reflect the highest level of workmanship typical of the Bestech brand and Kombou aesthetics.
