Which is better??

Better to flip I mean... I only have a 45... It's awesome... compared to all others bali I've tried to flip...

i think that the 42 is better, but the 45 is a very good balisong

Once I got used to the lighter weight, it seemed easier to manipulate the 42 and it doesn't pinch as hard when it gets to goin'!

I am still an avid fan of heavier 45 handles though. QC is no question - no contest, but I like the looks of the 42 better.

It is weird whan I flip the 42.. I dont even have to move my wrists.

I am starting the think the tighter tolerances on the 42 are a great enhancement to operation. With the 45, the handle can yaw so far from the plane of rotation that the handles begin to bind.

The 42 seems to swing smooth and fast no matter how sloppy you get.
 
Steve, I have to say I thank you as you described what I've long wanted to say after I received my model 42 ..."tighter tolerance" and "the 45 yaw from the plane"!

acros, try a model 42! Better or worse if it will be than 45, its worth its cost.

Oh, this is my 333rd post!

the BM42 has tighter tolerances... heh? I think the lighter handles is what keeps it in plane is all. Ofcourse it is all a matter of preference. It is kind of convinient I guess to not have finger cramps after a long time of playing around

I'm gonna buy a 42... but right now I'm broke... have to wait a month or so...
 
I agree with Payback; I like all three.
