Questions & Answers
What makes the Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D unique?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D stands out with its gold painted 10Cr15MoV blade and Ultem scales. Ultem's natural amber color and the gold blade finish create a warm, tonal aesthetic that's distinct from the rest of the Cicada's Wing lineup. At 1.87 oz, it's also tied for the lightest variant available.
What is Ultem and what does it look like on the BMK06D?
Ultem (polyetherimide) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic with a natural amber color that is semi-translucent. On the Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D, the Ultem scales complement the gold painted blade — both warm tones that work together visually. Ultem is exceptionally lightweight and strong, contributing to the 1.87 oz total weight.
Is the gold blade finish on the BMK06D painted or PVD?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D uses a gold painted finish, not PVD. Painted finishes add color to the blade flats without the cost of PVD coating. The underlying 10Cr15MoV steel is hardened to 59-61 HRC for solid edge performance. Some finish wear at the edge is expected with normal use.
How light is the Bestechman BMK06D?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D weighs just 1.87 oz (53g) — tied with the BMK06H for the lightest in the entire Cicada's Wing lineup. The Ultem handle material is the key: it's one of the lightest handle materials used across the platform, significantly lighter than G10 (2.12 oz) or stainless steel (3.95 oz).
What lock does the Bestechman BMK06D use?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D features the B-Lock, Bestechman's crossbar-style lock. It provides a very secure, fully ambidextrous lockup and enables fast, convenient one-handed opening and closing without putting fingers in the blade path.
How long is the blade on the Bestechman BMK06D?
The Bestechman Cicada's Wing BMK06D carries a 3.15" (80mm) reverse tanto blade in 10Cr15MoV steel, with a 7.205" overall length and a slim 0.091" blade stock that makes it an excellent slicer for everyday tasks.
