High Quality "Balisongs" currently made?

[Dexmit]

Hello,
I just got my BM42, and I just have to say wow, it's so much better than any of my China cheapies or any jaguar. What I was wondering is; is there anything else out there? I was looking at the Balisong Collector website and saw the Gemini Balisong. Too bad pre-ordering is over on it.

Who else out there makes high quality bali's?

TIA -Dexmit

Aside from custom balisongs, you've got just about the best production knife currently made. And, as I've seen people here discussing before, there really isn't any good bali between a Jaguar and the BM42. But, later on this year, Microtech is releasing the "Tachyon" for about 200 bones a piece. There are threads about it if you search the posts here. From what I hear, this knife can only be described as "The Supreme Overlord of all things Bad-Ass"

Summed up, I'd say you have few options...
1. Get another BM42
2. Wait and get the Tachyon
3. Shell out big $ for a custom
4. Try to find an out of production Benchmade on auctions.

There are other knives out there that other forumites know more about than I do. But from what I know, yer stuck with the BM42 for now (which ain't all that bad if you ask me

)
