Bastinelli BBR1 handle scales

The Bastinelli BBR1 marks a pivotal moment in modern tactical knife design. Created as a collaboration between French custom maker Bastien Coves of Bastinelli Creations and designer/collector MonsieurFromLondon, it became the very first production folder from Bastinelli. Manufactured by Italy’s LionSteel in a strictly limited run of only 75 pieces, the BBR1 sold out completely at the 2011 USN Vegas show and will never be reissued

Its innovative framelock construction, titanium lockbar, skeletonized liner, full-flat-ground D2 blade, dual thumb studs, and optional glass-breaker established the design language that later evolved into the highly successful BBR2. Lightweight yet robust, the BBR1 combined everyday carry practicality with serious emergency capability, setting the foundation for Bastinelli’s reputation in high-performance folders. A true collector’s milestone and the origin of an iconic series
