I had lots of BG42 sebs back in the day. I did have one or two at the same time as the intro to S30V. I'm sure there are tradeoffs with each. Maybe one is significantly tougher than the other. Maybe one is a lot more stain resistant. I did not notice any real standout attributes to either other than just being generally fantastic. If a fella has the scratch and a Regular Seb in BG42 makes him go from six to midnight its worth it. For me, when a knife suddenly goes from attainable to a collectors item it almost always goes away. I just need a good knife and my knife being more of a collectors item than just a good knife distracts me. If I found the old BG42 regular I lost many moons ago I would sell it and buy something else that is just as functional but more standard issue... like a Small Inkosi.
Yes Nick.. BG-42...BG-42........BG-42.Did someone say BG42?
