@Xatlox Thanks for the comment man! I agree with what you say. I originally thought they didnt do a spring latch cause of the spacer but the spacer looks small enough that they could have fit a spring latch in there.
P.S. I just got a new bali with a kickass latch, Ti handles and S30V... Oh I is in love! HAHA! It's not a better flipper than my 51's, but it's pretty damn sweet nonetheless! Can't wait to show it to y'all!
I'm glad to hear you like the brushed version. Everyone on the JDBA seems to prefer the earlier smooth versions. When you're loctiting yours and get your handle play to the preferred amount can you still hear the blade clink against the handles when it's folded and unlatched? I use to be able to tighten it up so that there was no clinking sound at all but now when I do the blade binds to the handle so I'm wondering if I should disassemble and take a look at it or if it's not really a big deal.
@6HARIS Hi Hunny.... The 42 is TI and the 62 is SS. The 62 is 2 oz heavier and does not have a spring latch. They look similar but flipping wise they are totally different.
@CalviNNation Well Mrs. X got me a little something green and gold recently, but that's not the one I'm referring to bro. The one I am talking about looks like my titanium Millie regarding it's blade and handle materials and colors! Man I love that matte or what I call "nude" titanium finish. No G10 on this one and I still love it, haha! It's my new favorite bali I think... still trying to decide on that though. I'll be showing it soon.
Just got my Benchmade 42 in the mail last friday, and its everything that you said it was. Absolutely amazing... I can see why some people like the 42 more then the 32/51 now. The only problem I have though is that theres a lot of spots on my 42's handles where its a different shade then the rest of the titanium, and also the spring latch doesnt stay up straight..
Thanks for sharing brother. I do agree, the 42 is a beauty indeed... had to sell her though, Mrs. Morpho didn't get along with her as much, LOL. Actually I sold it to fund a firearm purchase... even though I like things that cut more than things that go BANG! Hope they do a 67 (or whatever it would be) with that tanto blade... I'm buying them all this time regardless of whether I like them or not, LMAO! Just in case BM discontinues them again. HAHA! Later bro.
god watching this video brought back so many fond memories of my 42. I was so happy when i got mine. 42 is the king of balisongs in my opinion. Great review btw :D.
With all the counterfeit 42s out there, does anyone know for sure if the ones featured in Kick Ass are real Benchmades? This question has been on my mind for a while now. Is it possible the props dept. decided to go easy and cheap?
hey if you wanted to buy one that would not break on some of the more harder moves where and what kind of butterfly knife and keep the pay range in 100 though 280 dollars??
If it didn't have the spring latch the latch would be flying everywhere but it has a latch gate which blocks the latch from contacting the blade. If you watch Cutlerylover's bm42 review he goes more in depth in the latch and latch gate.
@FatGuyWithAKatana I agree completley man. Its a dang fine bali no matter what way you look at it. And yeah its expensive but lets just say if mine got terminally ill, I would replace it.
@X4CTO I remember when you sold it. HEHE I tried to persuade you otherwise. I remember you were right on the fence of whether or not you should get rid of her. The 67 in a tanto would be sweet. I would like to get my hands on the 63 with a Bowie. That would be sweet! I think if they do I would also have to buy them all. Its a Sickness man!!!!!!
@MPSecare I'd love to get a 51 and have it stripped and custom anodized green then get my boy Tuffthumbz to hook me up with some custom jade scales for it. ♥
I came to your channel to learn some new bali moves, I've been in to balis for about a year and a half, but alas, it is friday, and by the time i got to flipping videos i was too drunk to even attempt them... lol
Oh yeah! Thanks for putting flipping! Is not like I have seen ANY tutorials like a million times!!! :P BTW, I just got a new 51 MORPHO and it rocks. Could you make your next tutorial with it? Thanks!
Cool video and thanks. The next time I get paid by my tenants I am going to look for a 42. I still have my 42A First Production 223/500 and recently bought a 63 but I really want a brushed finish 42 with a spring latch to compare with the T-latch. My 42A has a regular T-latch as does the 63 and my personal preference. I want to keep my 42A but add a regular 42. I had an awesome collection of Pacific Cutlery custom Balisongs by Jody Samson that I spent thousands for back in the 80's that I eventually had to sell. Having to sell off your collection really takes the wind out of your sails :( I own only 2 balis now but I'm looking to build up my butterfly collection again. I live in Oregon. We can legally carry balisongs here overtly.
+Al Machado You're kucky man being able to carry a Bali for EDC. You can find 42s pretty easy to find nowadays from $450 all the way to $300 if you look on JD and instagram.
@CalviNNation is The BM51 rlly that good cuz to me it looks rlly plastic and cheap and very light and i rlly dont know if it is so can u help me with that
I have a full black "benchmade knife." but i'm not sure if it is a real benchmade bailsong, or a nock off. If i posted a video reviewing, and attempting some flips, could you tell me if it's real or not. It was a really lucky find if it is, i'll tell how i got it in the video.
@CalviNNation I thought you cant have balisongs with actual blades in Canada!!!! Im currently waiting on a bali trainer cause I thought you cant get bladed bali's
would love to be the lucky enough to find the BM42 in 11:22. LOL Anyway their is one option to those who just can't spend a full 300, buy a fake one, yeah I know I know its fake, made in china and all but my experience with my fake one is the same as your, had lots of cheap ones and then i got a fake BM42, and i love it. Love love love love it!!! it was priced at $50 and it was real 440C and sharp as hell!! What are your thoughts on fake ones?
im thinking to buy the bm 42 but i am worried that the screws will loosen up that it will fall apart. im from philippines how many years you've been using your bm 42? any problems?
@CalviNNation Yes but I am also just starting to flip right now I flip ma fucking BaliYo :P so should I just save up for a spyderco smallfly trainer insted? because I am in Canada and I do not want to risk anything with the cops :/
@CalviNNation Yeah I know, haha! I remember bro. I kind of miss her occasionally but I can deal with it. =) A Bowie bladed 63... Yep! Yep! Put me in for one... and oooh! a 69 Chris... err... I mean Kriss, LMAO! The closer it gets the more I think I'm warming up to the new BM offering... I think it might be pretty good. We'll see. You and me both my brother, a sickness indeed... but a fun one!
"I'm just gonna' make all these kids jealous of my awesome 4x balis BEFORE I get started, then by the end they'll be drooling." You're such an ass. XD Alas, a lucky one. Haha. Sweet man. Didn't you get the 47 after they had gone out of production, though? I see 42's around, but never any of the other 4x's.
@TheFrankandGaryShow I wouldnt get one just because of the ethics of it. Its a slap to the face towards benchmade, and they are probably pretty shittily put together.
@Xatlox Thanks for the comment man! I agree with what you say. I originally thought they didnt do a spring latch cause of the spacer but the spacer looks small enough that they could have fit a spring latch in there.

It's not a better flipper than my 51's, but it's pretty damn sweet nonetheless!
Can't wait to show it to y'all!
@X4CTO Hmmm Sounds intriguing! Does it happen to have Green and Gold scales?????
I'm glad to hear you like the brushed version. Everyone on the JDBA seems to prefer the earlier smooth versions. When you're loctiting yours and get your handle play to the preferred amount can you still hear the blade clink against the handles when it's folded and unlatched?

@TheMotorick AHAHA Thanks for the comment man! I am a prettly lucky canadian when it comes to balis!
@CalviNNation
Well Mrs. X got me a little something green and gold recently, but that's not the one I'm referring to bro.

@Zombycam135 Thanks for the comment man! I remember the day I got mine as well. It was a good day to say the least.
Thanks for sharing brother.
I do agree, the 42 is a beauty indeed... had to sell her though, Mrs. Morpho didn't get along with her as much, LOL. Actually I sold it to fund a firearm purchase... even though I like things that cut more than things that go BANG!

Later bro.
Will benchmade rebuild it for you if you send it in, like their other knives. Would love to get my hands on one. In the mean time im enjoying my 51.
god watching this video brought back so many fond memories of my 42. I was so happy when i got mine. 42 is the king of balisongs in my opinion.
Great review btw :D.
@esteva03 HAHAH no problem man! I will use the 51 next time!
@CalviNNation and we can still import from them ? I'm kinda afraid of the CBSA...
@TiM9FG It must have been a PCC (benchmade back in the early days) That could be worth a decent penny.
With all the counterfeit 42s out there, does anyone know for sure if the ones featured in Kick Ass are real Benchmades? This question has been on my mind for a while now. Is it possible the props dept. decided to go easy and cheap?

@R1K4RD05 About $220 At BHQ and GPKnives
@FatGuyWithAKatana I agree completley man. Its a dang fine bali no matter what way you look at it. And yeah its expensive but lets just say if mine got terminally ill, I would replace it.
@magemarshy practice balisong are legal practically everywhere; i wouldnt worry about it
Hey calvin, why did they discontinue the 42 and 47? Both are very popular..
@X4CTO I remember when you sold it. HEHE I tried to persuade you otherwise. I remember you were right on the fence of whether or not you should get rid of her. The 67 in a tanto would be sweet. I would like to get my hands on the 63 with a Bowie. That would be sweet! I think if they do I would also have to buy them all. Its a Sickness man!!!!!!
@MPSecare
I'd love to get a 51 and have it stripped and custom anodized green then get my boy Tuffthumbz to hook me up with some custom jade scales for it. ♥
@ClaviNNation hey I am getting an Exiled Cutlery Balisong like the nickle plated one is it any good?
Does anyone know about the knife laws in Spain?
And if you can get practice balisongs without any trouble?
i was wondering how you got those knives, aren't they illegal in canada because i would like to buy one -canada
@mongomondomongo This was back in 2005 when they were still a Benchmade dealer.
really wish they would put them back into production....
do you have any info about the price of the 62?
@zer0skater1993 Yeah for sure !
Don't bench made use pins over screws?
I came to your channel to learn some new bali moves, I've been in to balis for about a year and a half, but alas, it is friday, and by the time i got to flipping videos i was too drunk to even attempt them... lol
Oh yeah! Thanks for putting flipping! Is not like I have seen ANY tutorials like a million times!!! :P
BTW, I just got a new 51 MORPHO and it rocks. Could you make your next tutorial with it? Thanks!
whats about balancing in 62......if we compare it with 42.....good or gr8
Do you have to loc tite it so the screws don't fall off
Where do they sell them when they make runs?
Cool video and thanks. The next time I get paid by my tenants I am going to look for a 42.

@PREDGUTZ97 Owls are wise man! Cause I agree. Sweet bali the 51 is!
@MPSecare
I seen that, man if I liked that one enough I would buy it, LMAO!
I do love the handle coloration though.
@CalviNNation is The BM51 rlly that good cuz to me it looks rlly plastic and cheap and very light and i rlly dont know if it is so can u help me with that
@pobels29 I hate to say it but you might have got a fake 42. How much did you pay for it.
@Honda1794 Keep searching!
Can you give a link to the seller?
how did you squish out your tang pin?
I have a full black "benchmade knife." but i'm not sure if it is a real benchmade bailsong, or a nock off. If i posted a video reviewing, and attempting some flips, could you tell me if it's real or not. It was a really lucky find if it is, i'll tell how i got it in the video.
you have the best butterfly knife and the best cam!!!!
@CalviNNation I thought you cant have balisongs with actual blades in Canada!!!! Im currently waiting on a bali trainer cause I thought you cant get bladed bali's
+montygo You are right, they are illegal. But it's not to hard to get them if you really want them ;)
Got mine for $350. Its the serrated model with a T latch so super old school first production.
Kolby9241 would you sell it?
Hi dear....Is there any major difference between 42 &62?....if so then what it is?...i need your opinion coz i am going for a 62 ........thnkx
would love to be the lucky enough to find the BM42 in 11:22. LOL
Anyway their is one option to those who just can't spend a full 300, buy a fake one, yeah I know I know its fake, made in china and all but my experience with my fake one is the same as your, had lots of cheap ones and then i got a fake BM42, and i love it. Love love love love it!!! it was priced at $50 and it was real 440C and sharp as hell!! What are your thoughts on fake ones?
Why at 2:45 is your knife a 440C and at 3:42 it's 154cm???
@fuckuallimgointoLA The kimura, the BM 51, the 32, the Smallfly, the BM 62
I just orderd mine hey uhm does the latch hit the blade
@MPSecare
Oh and it would be kickass if, instead of a butterfly logo, you got an owl head etched on the blade!
So if I keep a 3.8 GPA I can get a good Balisong so should I go and try to get a 42 get 62 or 52
is it legal for you to own them in your house?
@MPSecare
Well damn... when it happens then you must show us! HAHA!
That's pretty kickass indeed... a white and black bali... it can be done! =)
@CalviNNation where do u even find bm42s cuz they alwaysd fuckin sold out
im thinking to buy the bm 42 but i am worried that the screws will loosen up that it will fall apart. im from philippines how many years you've been using your bm 42? any problems?

I'm not him but I'm pretty sure he buys them from the us
There are ways and shady ppl that sale these
Piece by piece
I guess I will have to settle with the 51.
Wait are you Canadian?
@CalviNNation Yes but I am also just starting to flip right now I flip ma fucking BaliYo :P so should I just save up for a spyderco smallfly trainer insted? because I am in Canada and I do not want to risk anything with the cops :/
were i can buy it?
You can't.
@CalviNNation
Yeah I know, haha! I remember bro.
I kind of miss her occasionally but I can deal with it. =)
A Bowie bladed 63... Yep! Yep! Put me in for one... and oooh! a 69 Chris... err... I mean Kriss, LMAO!
The closer it gets the more I think I'm warming up to the new BM offering... I think it might be pretty good. We'll see.
You and me both my brother, a sickness indeed... but a fun one!
I saw i fake BM 42 with all of the same stuff just different metal for 37$
should i buy it?
Guy Mako I
you would be a great infomercial host haha
Man, I remember I bought a 42 from NewGraham for $150 brand new.
ya huge chunk of dow ya and thats the amount ill have to pay if i want a balisong that wont fall apart in 2 months
got mine a few days ago for $425 :/
hey man wanna trade me your bm 42 and your ear buds for my ghastly gibbus and ccc?
benchmades are awsome
Can i have the 42 plz
you ae definitely canadian :-)
+Jeenius IAMa exactly what I thought! :)
"I'm just gonna' make all these kids jealous of my awesome 4x balis BEFORE I get started, then by the end they'll be drooling." You're such an ass. XD Alas, a lucky one. Haha. Sweet man. Didn't you get the 47 after they had gone out of production, though? I see 42's around, but never any of the other 4x's.
We're do u look on instegram
Me no unda stand
HOW THE HELL DO I GET MY HANDS ON THIS DAMNIT
That flipping is god man! Bet you cut yourself so much practicing it! But it worths it.
I've always wanted the 42, BUT YOU/ME CANT GET THEM IN THE UK!!!rage
Balisong is not the locking mechanism, balisong is the proper name for a butterfly knife or rather the original name.
51 I mean*
good knife, but I have to say the FU42 is better
sheeeeeesh he shiny
@TheFrankandGaryShow I wouldnt get one just because of the ethics of it. Its a slap to the face towards benchmade, and they are probably pretty shittily put together.
Im sp jelly
overated knife, but still good. alot of blade rub, fair handle play, feels good to flip, spine not crowned, good balance. i rate 7/10
haha only a canadian would use a denim quilt background.
if u ever want to sell .pick me
+Jimmy daff They are so easy to find online. I see them for sale on instagram and JD all the time. In fact I just bought one second hand two days ago.
+Brandon Teeter (bruzanHD) were do I look on instegram and jd
Jimmy daff
on JD check the Voodoo economics for sale section and on instagram just look at the #knifesale and #balisong tags.
+Brandon Teeter (bruzanHD) thank u
Jimmy daff
No problem.
I got mine for $95
lucky guy!¿

John Ward Probably, he can check the latch to compare.
+luke krumnow Fake. Unlesss you got years ago when they were cheap.
I hate your sorry Canadian ar$e! Ha ha, just kidding! But I am jealous, but I'm happy for you! Looking forward to your next video.
