The Arc-Angles have had some major Quality Control problems.

I can't comment on the Recon.

Thats a big question. If your referring to Balisongs. Nothing can beat a BM 40x series for the price.

BaliWolf,
What J-man is referring to when he says a BM 40x is the Benchmade balisong line...for example a BM 42, BM 43, etc.(not a specific model called the BM40x. Try looking on http://www.newgraham.com at their selections.

welcome aboard mr baliwolf, and mr lasercut!

you can get all kinds of opinions by asking a question like that....

there are balisongs in every price range, but everything i've ever read has pointed to benchmade as one of the best all round bali maker, and they are sure to have a model to suit your needs....

enjoy the forum guys, and let us know what you decide to get!

I would recomend a BM model 42. It seems to be the bali in which all others are compared to. It will last long and strong. its my favorite model. 8)

Definitaly. I would gladly pay 200 for a 42, they're that good.

You may buy from who ever you wish... however I'm begging to wonder if you have the intelligence to own a bali. :roll:

Don't worry Baliwolf and HTML, I'm just phucking around witcha... I just wanted to make sure Baliwolf was feeling okay, because what he said was a little weird IMO. BTW: Do you think you could ease up on the Bold letters Baliwolf?
