These are not marked with the # sign in sequential order.
They are, instead, all marked "1 of 14"

Awesome, and congrats on the score!
I'm dying to know the specs on this knife now that you have it in hand, and how it compares to my modified version. My stock BB13 weighed 24.2 oz originally, but after modification it weighed 19.6 oz. Prior to modification my balance point was ~4 1/2" in front of the handle, after modification the balance point is ~3 13/16" in front of the handle. How does this compare with your 1 of 14 model?

Love that RE BB13.
Is the weight at 16.9 or 19.6? The thread you linked Josh stated 19.6 so just clarifying.
The CS balances at ~4.25” in front of the handle, and weighs 22.65 oz.
If yours is 19.6 oz then it looks like the weight and balance point cut the difference between the CG and RE.

Whoops, that was a typo, it is 19.6 and not 16.9. Thanks for correcting me on that one, and thanks for the details of the CS version!

Congrats to all who scored!!
I didn't try for one. Figured my ghetto-regrind stripper was going to be very close to these performance-wise.
Based on the specs

posted, the balance point and weight is virtually the same as what I did to mine, (they're just waaaay nicer lol). Anyone who decides to make their's a user should be well pleased.
