Senate said:there's been one spyderco prototype in BG42, the C74 Trakk'r. Aproximate value these days, 300 to 500$
note that this model will be available soon in VG10.
Carl64 said:Interesting they would use that for a prototype. I guess the Buck is the cheapest option for now.![]()
Redguy said:I think the cheapest knife with BG-42 blade is the Sog X-42.
Franco G said:Which knife?
Well, Native would probably appear in S125V, Delica in ZDP-189, Milie in S90V ..., personally, I dream about BG-42 in Wegner jr., or Goddard jr. Micarta, or Calypso jr. Micarta... All these fine knives are light, decent, very good quality.
Sal Glesser said:We tested BG-42 a while back. A beautiful steel. As Ken mentioned, it's a VIM-VAR steel with some "finicky" requirements.
We have some hee in Golden. Plans were to make a run of Lil Temperances with it. Vendor probs parked the Lil Temp for a while. I imagine we'll use it for some type of "fun" test.

Very good idea. ParaM is very good place to introduce a BG-42 steel.Paramilitary! It would be a great way to compare it to s30v.
