BT vs. BN, physical sizes and impressions?

Redhook · Jul 9, 2002

I know that the BN is longer than the BT, but there doesn't seem to be any other info about blade height (edge to spine). Can some one do a measure comparison between the two for lenght, width, height? I'd also like to get an idea of the difference in tip lenght. It's obvious that the tip of the BN is longer, but by how much? I guess the only way to measure it is from the edge transition parallel to the bottom edge out to the tip.

Also, I know the BN is an unmarked Seal 2001, but is the Seal 2000 really a BT?

Thanks!

Hello Red
I THINK the BN is 10% bigger then the BT.
Thanks Matt

Can anyone else answer this? I would like to know also.

I want to know also!!!

I've tried asking before, but have not gotten a good answer.

"10%" doesn't really say much. Is the blade thicker? Is the handle wider? Etc...

Sorry I didn't have a BT for this comparison pic. But here are some with a WB. Close enough I think. The handle and blade length on the BT and WB are the same so I think it's easy to differentiate the sizes. Pictured is a SEAL2001/BN-ss Both BT and BN are 1/4" thick. Hope this helps answer some questions.

Oh, Redhook:

YES, the SEAL 2000 IS a BT with Spine Serrations. Exact same item, just without the "SEAL 2000" stamp. I THINK I can live without the stamp and save myself the $300!!!

Same for the SEAL 2001: it is a BN/SS/TS.
