The Bestechman LANZA BMK14F brings a high-visibility two-tone look to an already capable everyday carry folder.

Front flipper deployment and a liner lock keep the mechanics simple and dependable. At 1.48 oz, it disappears in the pocket.

14C28N Steel and Liner Lock
14C28N is a Sandvik stainless steel purpose-built for knife blades. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, a fine grain structure for good edge retention, and easy sharpening — practical qualities for a working EDC. The Black Stonewash blade finish reduces glare and handles light scratches gracefully. The liner lock delivers proven one-hand operation: push the liner aside to close, and the knife stays securely locked open during use. Front flipper deployment provides a fast, natural draw.
LANZA Platform
The Bestechman LANZA is a front flipper folding knife platform from Bestechman, a sub-brand of Bestech Knives Ltd., designed by Polish knife designer Grzegorz Grabarski. The BMK14F's black and yellow G10 scales are the most visually assertive of the LANZA 14C28N colorways — practical for work environments where tool visibility matters, or for users who simply want something that stands out. The slim 0.087" blade stock keeps the knife lightweight without sacrificing rigidity.
