Difference Between BM 42 and 45

[little_chaozu]

Whats the difference between a Benchmade 42 and a 45?

42 has Ti handles, torx pins, latch gate, and I believe a longer blade with a more aggressive swedge, current production model
45 has SS handles, polished hidden pins that can't be adjusted, no latch gate, harder than hell to get ahold of
That's the basics that I can think of right now, someone luckier than me that has both will probably get a pic up for you soon and have a better description.

The only thing that is the same is that they both have 1 blade, 2 handles, and a latch, other than those I believe that they are totally different. Just my .02

I absolutely love my 42 and my 45.

I'm not a Bali collector but those screws really detract from the look of the knife. Just my opinion.

I really like the look of the polished down pins, it just looks awesome. I think that the screws gives it a unique look that suits the other characteristics on the knife: nice looking wee-hawk blade, Ti handles, and latch gate.

BM 45, PC 10 and BM 42

Both the 42 and 45 are very nice.

The 42 is light.
The 45 is heavy and more rare.
