The production BBNM from North Mountain Blade is a high-end folding knife, specifically the Shadow Edition, a collaboration between North Mountain Blade and knife maker Duane Dwyer. It features a blade made from CPM-3V steel, a premium tool steel known for its toughness and impact resistance.


Key features
Designer: The knife is a collaboration with knife designer Duane Dwyer, a co-founder of the well-known custom knife company Strider Knives.

Steel: The 3.62-inch blade is crafted from CPM-3V tool steel, prized for its ability to withstand demanding conditions. CPM-3V is a special-purpose tool steel with very high toughness and resistance to chipping, making it ideal for hard-use knives.

Blade style: The Shadow Edition is available with either a Tanto or Bowie blade shape. The Tanto version has a compound grind, and the Bowie version has a hollow grind.

Finish: The blade has a hand-polished Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, which is extremely durable and visually striking.
Handle: The robust handle is made from precision-milled black titanium with a textured "frag" pattern for a secure, non-slip grip.

Locking mechanism: A heavy-duty titanium frame lock provides solid blade security during use.
Pocket clip: A black titanium pocket clip allows for ambidextrous (right/left-handed) carry.

Manufacturing: The production version of the knife is made with the help of Japanese-trained artisans, a contrast to Dwyer's American-made customs.
