Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 – Wood+Resin Handle B-Lock Folding Knife
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 is built around a handle that stops people mid-reach: natural wood inlaid with black and gold resin, finished to a smooth, organic surface that's as different from G10 as it gets. The 3.15" 10Cr15MoV blade wears Black PVD and deploys via thumb stud into a B-Lock (button lock) — a secure, ambidextrous lock that releases with a single thumb press. At 2.47 oz, the BMK06-W-6 carries the warmth and character of a wood-handled knife without feeling like a heavy weekend piece. This is an EDC knife for people who want something that looks as good on a desk as it feels in a pocket.

Wood and Resin Handle
The BMK06-W-6 uses a handle combining natural wood with black and gold resin fills — a material treatment that results in a one-of-a-kind surface pattern on every knife. The resin flows into voids and grain irregularities in the wood, locking in color and structure while enhancing stability and water resistance. No two Cicada's Wing wood+resin handles are identical. The gold resin provides warm contrast against the dark wood and the Black PVD blade, giving the BMK06-W-6 a refined, collector-friendly aesthetic that stands apart from the synthetic handle options in the Cicada's Wing lineup.
B-Lock (Button Lock)
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 uses a B-Lock, Bestechman's proprietary button lock mechanism. Unlike a liner lock — which requires the user to push a steel tab inward — the B-Lock releases with a direct press of a recessed button in the handle spine. This makes it fully ambidextrous and faster to close one-handed. The button sits flush with the handle contour when locked, keeping the profile clean and preventing accidental release.
Cicada's Wing Platform
The Cicada's Wing is Bestechman's flagship platform, offered across a wide range of handle materials — G10, Ultem, resin, wood, stainless steel, crystallized titanium, and micarta. The platform is defined by its distinctive blade geometry, B-Lock mechanism, and deep carry ambidextrous clip. The "W" designation in BMK06-W-6 indicates the wood handle series. Bestechman is a sub-brand of Bestech Knives Ltd.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 is a folding knife with a 3.15" 10Cr15MoV Black PVD blade, wood and black+gold resin handle scales, B-Lock button lock, and ambidextrous deep carry pocket clip. It measures 7.205" overall and weighs 2.47 oz.
What is the handle material on the Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 has a handle made from natural wood combined with black and gold resin. The resin fills the wood's natural grain and voids, stabilizing the material and creating a unique pattern on each knife. No two handles are exactly alike.
What is a B-Lock and how does it work?
The B-Lock is Bestechman's proprietary button lock. A recessed button on the handle spine holds the blade open when deployed. Pressing the button releases the blade for closing. It's fully ambidextrous, faster than a liner lock for one-handed closing, and keeps a cleaner handle profile than a frame or liner lock.
What steel is used in the Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 uses 10Cr15MoV steel with a Black PVD finish. 10Cr15MoV is a Chinese stainless steel similar in composition to 440C — corrosion resistant with good edge retention for the price point. The Black PVD coating adds surface hardness and a dark, scratch-resistant finish.
How does the Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 compare to the BMK06-S-6?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06-W-6 and BMK06-S-6 share the same blade platform and B-Lock mechanism. The BMK06-W-6 has wood and black+gold resin scales — warm, organic, and lighter at 2.47 oz. The BMK06-S-6 has stainless steel scales with a frag pattern and bronze PVD finish — heavier, more tactical, and more durable in wet conditions.
