searching for bm975sbt

[sharpseeker]

Hello everyone,

Sharpseeker here. Great to share a common obsession.
Very much enjoy the forum. My first post so here goes.
Does anyone know where I can get a mint bm975sbt or
other bm970 series folders? Discontinued and tricky to find.
Also, does EKI have any plans to produce the Rhino in a
mass produced version? Thanks again for all the great threads!

Welcome!

I know a knife Dealer that had a couple. I have emailed this string too him to see if he has any left.

Also, does EKI have any plans to produce the Rhino in a
mass produced version?

Weeell. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "No way in Hell" are we going to see a production Rhino.

There have been a few "Pirela Commanders" made which are about as close as your going to get to a Production Rhino.

These are regular production Commanders that were reground to a "Rhino-esque" blade profile by Bill Siegle.

Hope that helps

John

John,

Sharpseeker here. Just wanted to say thank you for
your efforts in helping me locate the bm975sbt/970 series
folders. What a thrill it would be to locate them! Thanks again!

I had a mint 975sbt until about a month and a half ago, when I unminted it in a rather ugly fashion.

Hey Sharpseeker, as if by magic here's one for sale.

Just says 975s so I don't know if it has BT2. Probably not, but 70 bucks is a pretty good price if it is NIB(the fact that it looks like it's in Japan scares me a bit, though).

Hey I just found 2 970S (no SBT) at a knife and gun store here in Fayetteville. I think they are going for 150 NIB.
Unless your going for collecting why not just go for an Emerson production. I use to love the BM 970SBT I have but after holding one from Emerson there is a difference between the two.
