Selling my new Scuba Force Blade Sidemount BCD
I was really looking forward to diving this new rig but since this brand is not represented at the shop where I'm teaching I need to sell this to purchase something through the shop. This system is BRAND NEW and retails for about $600. Asking $350. I'll be in Cave Country 1/30-2/2 if you'd like to take delivery in person.
The first two photos are of my new Blade and the other photos are from the Scuba Force website. Please see https://www.scubaforce.eu/PRODUCTS/BLADE for all the specs and LOTS of details on this outstanding sidemount system.
This system shares a lot of similarities with other minimalist sidemount rigs like the xDeep, Razor, and Katana.
BLADE WING
Made of a ballistic Cordura material, the outer shell provides maximum abrasion resistance and yet is flexible enough to streamline and fit firmly around the diver. The inner bladder is made of rugged nylon and thus offers additional protection against damage. The fittings for the inflator and the dump valve are ultrasonically welded to the bladder making them highly robust. European high-tech manufacturing.
Overall, the BLADE wing has three inflator / dump valves connection points. The inflator can be mounted either on the left or right side of the wing. The connection point at the top is for a dump valve that runs over the shoulder. This offers maximum ease of buoyancy and safety.
In technical diving, the upper connection can be closed with an extremely stable blank plug. The blank plug is included in delivery.
In total, the BLADE has 5 Bungee Attachment Loops (three in the upper and two in the lower area). Optimal positioning is thus always guaranteed. On the inside is the attachment strap, where the wing can be attached to the harness. Moving the wing up or down is done within a matter of seconds.
BLADE TECH HARNESS
Robust yet comfortable, the BLADE TECH harness is mounted directly on the soft pad. Thus, the same comfortable weight integration system is available.
At the front, however, the BLADE TECH reveals its field of application, this is about technical diving with the highest loads.
No compromise! For maximum safety and performance we use German quality materials. The German made webbing runs over the shoulders and with the attached metal accessories the BLADE TECH is everything the technical sidemount diver desires.
