Carrion Defense Works Bone Saw BS-3 'Butcher'

A forearm-mounted reciprocating blade designed for breaching body armor and cyberware housings in close-quarters combat. The BS-3 extends a 20cm carbide-toothed blade from a housing strapped to the user's forearm, oscillating at 4,000 strokes per minute with enough force to cut through Grade 3 composite armor in under two seconds. Carrion designed it as a field tool for emergency cyberware removal and armor breach, but its adoption by close-combat specialists has given it a reputation as the most visceral weapon in the corporate arsenal. The sound it makes cutting through metal is reportedly indistinguishable from the sound it makes cutting through bone.

story hooks

A rash of cyberware thefts in the mid-tiers involves victims whose implant housings were cut open with surgical precision using BS-3 blade patterns — the thieves are harvesting augmentations from living people.
Carrion has released an updated blade material that cuts through their competitors' armor significantly faster than their own — raising questions about whether the blade was designed as a product or a strategic weapon against rival equipment.

physical description

visual profile	A brutal industrial apparatus—a compact reciprocating saw mechanism housed in a reinforced polymer casing, mounted horizontally along the forearm like a prosthetic limb. The blade extends forward in a predatory stance, evoking surgical precision corrupted by violence.
dimensions	Housing: 18cm long × 6cm wide × 4cm tall. Blade extension: 20cm reciprocating stroke. Total forearm assembly fits standard adult arm circumference 20-28cm.
weight description	Hefty but balanced—1.1kg distributed across the forearm creates a weighted sensation without dragging. Feels anchored to the arm, not alien.
primary material	Titanium-reinforced polymer casing with steel internal gearing. Carbide blade segments mounted in hardened steel carrier.
finish	Industrial matte gunmetal gray with aggressive heat-scored black sections along the blade housing. Carbide teeth gleam dull silver against darker steel backing.
color scheme	Charcoal gray primary with midnight black accent panels. Carbide blade picks up light with a pale, almost bone-white shimmer.
grip texture	Rubberized impact-polymer forearm strap with deep grooves. Wrist trigger mechanism is knurled steel with tension-resistant silicone pad.
distinctive features	Four carbide sawtooth segments visible in the blade carrier, each beveled at aggressive angle Ventilation slits along housing for heat dissipation—arranged in downward-pointing chevrons Lithium cell indicator: three-point LED status light embedded in the wrist trigger guard (red/amber/green) Blade assembly marked with tool-free quick-swap grooves Speed governor dial on the upper housing (three positions: precision/standard/breach) Faint scorch marks and micro-scratches across the casing from extended use
manufacturer markings	CARRION DEFENSE WORKS stamped in clean sans-serif on the wrist trigger guard. Serial plate mounted on the inner forearm strap, low-visibility matte aluminum. Small carbide replacement symbol etched near the blade housing.
condition typical	Well-maintained but visibly used—minor scoring on the polymer housing, carbide blade edges sharp but showing micro-fractures from repeated cutting. Heat discoloration around ventilation slits. The kind of wear that suggests field deployment and proper maintenance.
