The 41MC and its heavier sister the 41SS are both good knives. Some people mentioned some quality control problems with the 41's, but I didn't see them (then again I don't look as closely as some others). I did read somewhere about a re-release of the 41SS which originally had a run of 500. As for M...

This is an awesome knife. It flips really smoothly and the new spring latch is a work of art. The anodized (and jeweled) liners really add to the knife along with the anodized and laser engraved pocket clip. The G10 has good texture to it and if I'm not mistaken this is the first BM bali made in san...

Yeah, the same problem we all do--not enough balis That's a nice pile you got going there. How do they flip? Are they tight like FHM's?

Nobody yet, and it sounds like the initial shipment won't be enough to cover the pre-orders so the people who don't have a pre-order in will probably have to wait a little longer.

My mail have trouble getting through sometimes too, I would suggest calling them. They're all good people over there and they come highly recommended (that's an understatement).

It's post on their (Benchmade's) site when you look at the balisong pages. It's also been confirmed via a Benchmade sales rep. I'm hoping that it's not a reversion back to the days where there was a serious lack of options, but there is no word yet on what the plan is.

I don't use mine for cutting so I don't really know how well it'll hold an edge, but I do know that mine came pretty damn sharp.

The first bali I ever bought was a Benchmade with skeletonized black zamak handles (don't know the model number). I bought it back in '92 for $15 and gave it to a friend for his graduation. Fast forward to Jan '01 where I bought the first bali for myself which was a BM43. Never handled a jag or CCC ...

most balisongs use a t8 for the pivots and a t6 for latch or anything else This has been my experience as well. They are definitely "torx type" screws (some trademark/copyright deal prevents them from being referred to as "Torx"), and 5.0 is right about the blue box--it sucks. See this thread: http...

What up, Murnax?

The horizontal Y2K rollover is my favorite opening move.

Nice Zen, what did ya do, buy five of 'em? I got the insert handels so I need some supplies and a little work till I get it assembled. Yup--got the five pack discount price, can't beat that price. Unfortunately, though, all five do not belong to me. Two are being shipped off on Monday and 1 is goin...

Still have to go out and pick up some loctite and a round file to ...

so i guess BM is the buest out of the Dragonfly, BM, and Arc Angel? I have not handled an ArcAngel so I can't comment on that. I own a Tach and a BM and I'd have to say that the Tach is a lot smoother than the BM, but I prefer the rounder handles of the BM for flipping. The Tach/Dragonfly is going ...
