another bm 49 question

The blade thickness is the same but the handles are about half again as thick as the other 40 series knives and the 49 is about 60% heavier since the handles are milled out of stainless steel instead of titanium. I hope this helps a little.........
 
Dawkins is spot on for the handles.

From the Benchmade website:

Features of the 42 Bali-Song®
Blade Length: 4.2"
Blade Thickness: 0.125"

Features of the 49-01 American Kris Balisong
Blade Length: 4.25"
Blade Thickness: 0.125"

For those still thinking of ordering one, don't bother, they're sold out. Your best shot now is to find a dealer that ordered one and buy it from them.
