Hi guys, I have a cool knife to present today

When I first saw this knife I was like, "Wow that's a beautiful knife, must buy."
Then I bought 2 LOL. (I never buy duplicates except for this extreme situation so that's how you know I really like it.)

The 42 flips like a dream and I would describe it more as finesse than pure raw power like some other models like the BM42 or offerings from Alpha Beast/Kimura.

Because it's G10 with Blue Anodized titanium, it simply looks gorgeous, especially under excellent lighting. It's very light as well and quite quiet when you flip it.

PROS
- Great for beginners due to less damage because it's lighter in weight than a full steel construction butterfly knife. This means if you get cut it won't be as serious.
- Simply stands out. It's not just a stainless steel regular ol' butterfly knife. It is a MORPHO Blue butterfly knife with beautiful outstanding colors.
- Great latch, Imo
- utilizes no stop pin construction so it doesn't wear out as much.

CONS
- Does not have the weight, therefore momentum, for some rolling tricks, although if you are used to lightweight balis, it shouldn't be a problem.
- I would say it's not as solid as stainless steel, although G10 and Ti is plenty strong.
- Expensive
- Quiet - could be a pro depending on the person, but it doesn't make much noise like a steel butterfly does.

Sorry for my crappy photos, I'm into knives not cameras loool.

Congrats those are gorgeous knives. Due to the laws in my country I can't own a real butterfly knife. I've broken a fair number of trainers but always my benchmade 40T is rock solid. It has the full titanium handles. They know how to make these things for sure. It is also a shame Benchmade doesn't use G10 more often. I had a Stryker but I sold it last year, which I regret doing.

Nice photos btw!
