Brent "Besh" Beshara designs the V-42's first grandchild: The Case® Besh Wedge
March 1, 2017
“The revolutionary Case® BESH Wedge blends modern technology with optimal performance and utility.

This unique geometry provides a stronger point profile that overcomes tip weakness found in more conventional blade designs.”
