Grzegorz Grabarski, otherwise known as Kombou, is back at it with a new Bestech collab for the new(ish) year. This is the Senu, a premium offering all about sinuous lines and high-performance slicing.
Drop point? Spear point? You be the judge. Some blades toe the line between two patterns so delicately that, really, it becomes an eye of the beholder situation. However you slice it, though, the Senu looks like it’ll be a fine slicer indeed, with a 3.48-inch edge offering up a balanced diet of straight edge, belly, and tip. It seems like more and more knives are gravitating towards this size class for EDC, and that’s the label we’d give the Senu too.
It is a premium everyday carry, though, with the full compliment of fancy-pants materials from tip to toe. It starts with the steel, S90V, a powder metallurgy steel with a well-earned reputation for near-extreme levels of performance; this is about as close as you can get to the really specialized stuff without going over into that realm. All of which is to say: the edge here is going to last for quite a while.
Also fairly impervious to wear and tear is the handle, fashioned mainly from titanium, a material which surely needs no introduction. There is a long, sweeping inlay on both scales, which comes in several flavors of Fat Carbon or, for the polycarbonate fans in the house, Ultem which, with its signature semi-transparent amber color, gives users a glimpse of the off-side frame lock in action.
The Senu is coming soon-u.
