Desperate times require desperate measures :grumpy: and let's leave it at that :grumpy:
Here is an official description of it:
About the BBN-M: Basically, Duane's BBN series is like a SNG with a "bobtail" end. So, it is familiar as the SNG we all know and love, and yet has an entirely new feel. As you can see from the picture below of the BBN-M on top of a SNG, not a ton of material has been actually removed. However, that tiny dimensional change makes the knife feel smaller in the hand. Reverse grip is also enhanced. While in your pocket, it is easier to get your hand in that pocket to get at your other stuff.
The Blade: Sexy, double hollow ground, recurve profile in Duane's gunmetal finish. No jimping grooves on spine for clean look.
The Frame: Rag carbon fiber scale with American flag engraving. Titanium lock side is matte with satin Dwyer razor wire in satin all bronze anodized. All upgraded titanium hardware (pivot, screws, etc.)
About Carpenter CD#1 Steel: The "CD" stands for "Coin Die" as in the material that strikes coins when minting. This high tech version uses Carpenter's Micro-Melt powdered metal process for uniform carbide distribution. Duane has been talking about getting some of this material for some time and finally has done the first couple pieces with it. CD#1's claim to fame is its super toughness (ability to resist cracking or breaking) as you can imagine that it would be as it has to strike other metals under high pressure. So think super tough material similar to PD#1 and CPM 3V. And like those materials it has less than the 10.5% chromium required to be called a 'stainless steel' (CD#1 has 8.25% chromium). So you do trade a bit of corrosion resistance for the huge increase in toughness.
Specifications:
Overall Length: 8.25 in
Blade Length: 3.625 in
Cutting Edge Length: 2.875 in
Blade Thickness: .165 in
Weight: 4 oz
Blade Material: CD#1
Handle Material: C-Tek scale w/Titanium lock side
Included:
Padded case
Spec card
Sticker
Patch
I have carried this one but never used it. It comes with its entire original package (padded case, spec card, sticker, patch). It is in "perfect" shape.
Yours for $1250 (net) shipped in the US. MO, regular PP (+3%) or PP/gift. Sorry, no trades on this (I really would not sell it if I did not have to).
MSC SnG in the pictures is for size reference and it is not included.
Thank you for your time
