My first experience with bali's was when I was in Jr High School.
But my mom found those and took them away.
Its been a couple years now (I'm 19). I got a BM42S.
I immediatly fell in love.
Last week I picked up a BM 43DM. Now my 42 seems like a CCC.
I don't even like to flip the 42. Anyone who flips more then 5 min a day has to try to get their hands on a 43DM.
The extra weight of the SS handles really makes a difference. Also the tolerance on this knife is a lot tighter. The 43DM is a dead quiet knife. The spring loaded latch is to die for. It keeps the latch from hitting the handles; and also aids in the quietness of the knife.
I'm thinking of getting another as a back up. Just in case (god forbid) I lose or break this one.
I have been told that the SS handles are still lighter then the old SS handles of couple years ago.
If you guys are in the market for another bali...skip over the rest...go for the 43DM.
I was never really fond of the bowie style blade...but now that I have it. It is beautiful.
I think I have found my perfect bali.
I could go on and on about how much I love this thing but I digress.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
