Benchmade Balisong Knives Views
Let me say this: Benchmade sometimes gets criticized for quality problems, but, in the last week or so, I've purchased four new Benchmade Balisong Knives. All have been just perfect right out of the box. None has needed any adjustment. All have been plenty sharp. The anodized finish on the one is very even. None of the shows any significant casting problems. The grind lines on the blades are all nice. I just don't see the problems that certain people are constantly complaining about.
A choil is a little indentation at the base of a blade that makes the blade easier to sharpen. Basically, it lets you sharpen right up the end of the edge. On a balisong, the choil right next to the kick makes for sort of a funny looking combination. Some may argue that adding a choil weakens a blade, and, technically speaking, it does. But, today's steels are so strong that it really doesn't matter. So, I'm glad to see that Benchmade had finally figured the choil out and added it to the 43 and 47. I hope they'll redesign the 42 to incorporate one and that they'll propagate this to their other knives as well.
Some of the most sought after Benchmade knives are a part of their Balisong knife series. These knives can be a bit harder to locate because half of the models are only available through the premium dealers that the company works with. These knives are part of the Benchmade Gold Class, but the company also offers their Blue Class Banchmade Balisong Knives collection, which can be purchased without having to go through a premium dealer. These butterfly knives are excellent for a number of different uses and are some of the most well-crafted knives that Benchmade has to offer.
