The North Mountain Blade BBNM Framelock Folder with a purple and yellow ceramic carbon fiber handle is built to stand out while delivering the kind of cutting performance and durability serious users expect. Designed by Duane Dwyer, it blends bold visual identity with a purpose-driven build that’s ready for daily carry and real work.
At the core is a 3.5-inch SLD-Magic tanto blade, engineered for strength, edge retention, and versatility. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing and controlled detail work, while the primary edge handles slicing tasks with ease. This combination makes it well-suited for everything from everyday utility cutting to tougher, more demanding jobs. The steel is chosen for its balance of toughness and long-lasting sharpness, so it keeps working without constant maintenance.
The handle is where this knife sets itself apart. The front scale features a striking purple and yellow ceramic carbon fiber construction that’s both lightweight and highly durable. It offers a solid grip while delivering a unique, high-contrast look that won’t go unnoticed. On the reverse side, a stonewashed titanium frame forms the framelock, providing secure lockup and long-term reliability under pressure. The pairing of materials gives the knife both structural strength and a distinctive presence.
Deployment is smooth and versatile, with both a thumb pull and thumb stud allowing you to open the blade with confidence using your preferred method. Once deployed, the framelock engages solidly, giving you the stability needed for controlled, confident cutting.
At 4.63 inches closed, the BBNM carries comfortably while still offering a full-size working blade. The integrated pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible, making it a dependable choice for everyday carry whether you’re on the job, in the shop, or out in the field. It’s built to perform, but it’s also built to be noticed.
This is a knife that combines standout design with practical capability, delivering a tool that works hard while setting itself apart from the ordinary.
