The North Mountain Blade BBNM Framelock Folder in purple and yellow ceramic carbon fiber is a bold, performance-driven folding knife that brings together premium materials, striking design, and real-world cutting capability. Designed by Duane Dwyer, it carries a distinct presence while delivering the strength and control expected from a serious everyday carry blade.
At the center of this build is a 3.5-inch SLD-Magic bowie blade, shaped for versatility and cutting authority. The bowie profile gives you a strong tip for piercing tasks and a long, efficient edge for slicing, making it equally capable for utility work and more demanding cuts. The steel is known for its toughness and edge retention, allowing it to hold a sharp working edge through extended use while remaining manageable when it’s time to touch it up.
The handle sets this knife apart immediately. The front scale features a vivid purple and yellow ceramic carbon fiber construction that blends lightweight strength with a high-end, modern aesthetic. It’s not just about looks—it provides durability and a solid grip in hand. The back side is finished in stonewashed titanium, forming the framelock mechanism that delivers reliable lockup and long-term structural integrity. The combination creates a balance of visual impact and mechanical confidence that stands out in any collection or pocket.
Deployment is smooth and adaptable, thanks to both a thumb hole and thumb stud, giving you multiple ways to bring the blade into action depending on your preference. Once open, the framelock design holds firm, giving you the confidence to put the blade to work without hesitation.
At 4.63 inches closed, the BBNM carries comfortably without sacrificing capability. The integrated pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible, making it a practical choice for everyday carry whether you’re on the job, in the field, or just handling daily tasks. Every detail, from the materials to the construction, reflects a focus on durability, performance, and distinctive design.
This is a knife that doesn’t blend in. It’s built for those who want something different without compromising function—a tool that performs as hard as it looks.
