Damn Shelby, thats one hell of a class photo.

I need that BN.
 
I guess I missed it, what's a BN. Same size as a SEAL? Limited or regular production?:confused:

A BN is basically a SEAL 2001 without the SEAL stamp, and without the $700 pricetag. It's basically a BT with a longer tip. Look at www.striderknives.com to see what I mean. Look under "new knives" and you can see the SEAL 2000 and 2001 right next to each other. A SEAL 2000 is a BT, and a 2001 is a BN, which is not listed on their site.

Can't wait to get my BT!

Ahhhhh, now I see :) For a sec I thought the pic had a Seal 2001 w/ & w/o spine serrations. Got it, so the SEAL 2001 is simply the military contract named version of the BN.....

Good info, I was a little confused also :)
 
So I'm just guessing here, but if a BN is a Seal without serrations and Seal stamp and the accompanying price tag, how much would a serrated hollow-ground BN cost..:D

Just wondering..

Christiaan.
 
I was wondering what a BN was to. If anyone knows, what is the retail of the BN, with and without spine serrations? I'm thinking long term on a Strider full size, and the BN, or MT with SS are now neck and neck.:D

Of course a Strider full size would come after an HT, GB, and possably a DB, hope my wife never reads this. I'll end up with a Strider sticking out of my chest :eek:

A BN is around $425. Serrations add about $50 to the price.

Does anyone know if the BN or SEAL 2001 is bigger than a BT? I know the BN is longer by an inch. I'm sorta disappointed by the size of my BT. It's pretty narrow; only about 1 - 1.25"! It looked soooo much bigger online! Oh well...

Aluminum - could you post dimensions of your SEAL and BN's along with prices, please??? I think we would all appreciate it!

Thanks!

Seal 2001 (as posted on striderknives.com)
Overall Length: 12.5"
Blade Length: 6.50"

The BN and Seal are identical besides the seal having spine serrations and a seal stamp.

The SEAL2001 is about $700. I don't know how much the BN costs.
