Exquisite and trilling balisong!

This is an outstanding knife. It comes incredibly sharp, it's very light and easy to open. I absolutely love it. The best balisong I've ever used.

You will like this knife!

I have been flipping for only about a year, so certainly im not claiming to be an "expert" with these types of weapons. However, after using poorly made imports, it was immediately apparent to me that the money already spent on the dozen or so $20.00 varieties should have instead been saved to buy this one. Most imports become loose -or worse, fall completely apart- at the hinges after a week or so. This one is just as solid as the day I got it. Spring latch is terrific (the latch wont get in your way while flipping) and the weight, balance and finish of the titanium made handles make this a first class item for sure. Even the sheath that comes with it adds a certain element of quality IMO. The only "negative" I can think of is that if you are a beginner as I am, you should keep a few things in mind. Most importantly, this knife is razor sharp! If you have been using a cheap import, there is a good chance you might have developed a false sense of security due to the cheaper varieties being so dull. Please be careful!! Also, in spite of how well made any knife might be, you might want to practice with this one over a bed, or while kneeling on the floor.

Cons: Sheath

quality materials, quality design, nothing not to like.

once you take this knife out of the box, you can tell it is a fine piece of cutlery. The titanium handles give confidence inspiring strength, and their lighter weight lets this knife really fly. Even though the knife is a purpose defined combat knife, the blade shape is fantastic for utility use and the butterfly design makes it a joy to take out and use. Blade steel holds an edge more than adequately and has good corrosion resistance. I am using the blade in a salt water environment and with a little maintenance every day it is as pristine as the day I got it. My only criticism is the sheath because the horizontal carry method won't accept most belts as it is very narrow. Other than that this is a beautiful and useful knife.

Really Amazing knife

The benchmade model 42 is an Extremely Great knife. It's fun and easy to flip, but it is not just for flipping. This tool is great at performing everyday knife tasks.
