From the Benchmade forum:

"Alright, it’s been more than a little while since we’ve posted on our own forum, but we think you’ll be happy
with latest news.
We’ve all been working a little OT around here to generate some very cool options to the Model 42 for you
Bali-Song fans……
Model 43 Collver Clip-Point Bowie
Model 43BLK-Collver Clip Point Bowie with textured black handles.
Model 43A-Collver Clip-Point Bowie with anodized Titanium handles.
Model 47-Drop-Point Tanto
Model 47BLK-Drop Point Tanto with textured black handles
Model 47A-Drop-Point Tanto with anodized Titanium handles
And, a latchless prototype that will make some of you shout with joy.
If we sound a bit “Flippant”, it is only because we are so pumped about these newest products as a result of
the efforts that has gone into these knives.
All handles remain Titanium with the same features as the Model 42 handles except of course the latchless
and the textured ones.
The blade steel has been changed on the new models to 440C as well.

We’ll try posting some pictures later today.

And just to keep a little for the Blade Show this weekend in Atlanta, there are a few surprises in store that
we’re holding back.

The thread is here.
 
You guys are awsome!!! Will there be anything to drool over at the blade show?
 
Yeah, this is great news. As far as my preference for bali blades goes, the bowie is second to the weehawk. So, since I already have a 42, a 43 would seem to be next in line

Uh, weren´t you supposed to be able to change the blade on the BM42 yourself?

-or get it changed by a BM authorized shop?

Does anyone know?

Man am I glad to live in Atlanta. I'll be going to the Bladeshow probably this Saturday to check out what old BM has in store for us. I'll report here this Saturday to tell you what I see.

As for the suprises BMST alludes to, I hope to see a Kris blade and maybe a Scimitar or Wee Hawk Tanto. Whoever's going to Bladeshow, take LOTS of pics please!
 
I've been pressing for a bowie from day one. Lets hope it fits into next years budget. =)
 
Now we need to know where we can get these things. I bet the dealers are already scrambling.

This is very good news, and it seems like it's coming just at the right time for BM. Well, I know what I'll be buying when I get back!

&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm with you on the Scimitar, and would also love to see an Imada High Hollow. A Kris would be nice, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a good start, let's keep 'em coming & I'll keep buying 'em!

The new models sound awesome, but can I ask why they are switching to 440C? I mean no disrepect, but isn't 440C a lesser quality steel when compared to ATS-34 or Sandivak stainless? Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah!
I can't wait. They probably switched steel to make the pirce a little more economical. But I think I would pay the little exra for the original steel. So when are these going to be out?
