Benchmade Model 43 Bali-song, spring latch with 154CM blade steel.
I have flipped it quite a bit, but never outside, over concrete, or anything likewise abusive... This is one of my indoor balis, never seeing the light of the outside world. I have installed PB washers in it, and it flips very, very well.
It has a couple of scuffs on the handles, on the bottom by the latch, but the blade is sweet. It has the usual wear marks from the handles on the side of the blade, but the edge is sharp and has only been lightly stropped a couple of times (when the only thing you cut is your finger, the edge tends to last a really long time...). The tip is still original and pointy.
I have box, papers and sheath for this knife.
I am only looking for a t-latch 43. I just have really taken a liking to the t-latch BM balis, and the way they feel. I want one in flipped condition, just like this one. I really want an even trade, but if you have an 43A or anything like that I will gladly ante up some extra moolah.... I love this balisong, so I wont mind if it sticks with me, but I really want to handle the 43 with the t-latch....
43-401 not for trade/sale.
Highlighting blade scuffing from flipping.
