We’re scheduled to receive a few dozen of the new Benchmade 62 Balisong. The 62 Bali-song is the replacement for the industry favorite Benchmade 42 Balisong, which was discontinued back in late 2009. The new Benchmade 62 butterfly knife features a 4.2″ Weehawk Blade made of D2 Tool Steel, and Stainless Steel Handles (sandwich construction instead of the traditional channel design).
Benchmade has set MAAP Pricing on this item, but as always, we’re happy to match prices when possible!

Staff Notes: The Benchmade Model 42 was discontinued in late 2009. What makes this notable? The movie Kick-Ass. Shortly after Benchmade discontinued the 42 Balisong, the supply dried up. Then Kick-Ass movie trailers started hitting the television and YouTube with the character “Hit Girl” asking her dad for a Benchmade Model 42 Butterfly Knife for her birthday.
Warning: Language and VIOLENCE!You can guess the results. We were deluged with phone calls from people searching for this knife. Even non-knife people wanted one; if the inventory was available we could have sold thousands.
So, we’re pretty happy to have the premiere production Butterfly Knife company making a high end balisong again!
