Benchmade 42 Balisong

We’ve gotten 10 pieces of the Benchmade 42 Balisong back into stock.  As most of you know, Benchmade has discontinued these and will no longer be making this model in the future.  Apparently they decided to put together all the spare parts they had on hand… and thus the new supply.

Anyhow, here’s your last chance to get the most popular Balisong ever made.  First come, first served, no limits on purchasing – until we’re sold out.  Don’t wait, because they may not be here tomorrow.

Added pics and specs to SOG Knives Bluto Blue BL-01, Bluto Red BL-02, Bluto Black BL-03.

The muscular stance and bulging form belay a quiet confidence. This little guy has its own point of view and the strength to back it up. With a very innovative textured machined aluminum handle, the Bluto handles well. Its VG-10 blade, Arc-Lock, and hardened scalloped steel liners make a rock solid package. The sweeping blade style is modern and functional and unique to the SOG line. Flex a new look with the Bluto.

Added pictures and specifications to Chris Reeve Large Sebenza with Computer Generated Graphic – Echo

Another gorgeous, but no longer produced offering, the Computer Generated Graphic Sebenza “Echo” was produced in the 2007 time frame.  This is the standard “Large Sebenza” style that is no longer produced as of 2009.

Continuing an art-form created by Chris Reeve in the mid-1990’s, this range of Computer Generated Graphic designs offers designs to suit a variety of tastes.

CAD/CAM (computer aided drawing/computer aided machining) allows the creation of a graphic, and transfer of the design into a program that can be machined on a CNC milling machine.

The colored graphics are anodized, a process that involves passing an electrical current through the titanium handle, causing a layer of oxide to form on the surface. The desired color is achieved by selecting a specific voltage and the color is simply reflected light, the spectrum splintered.

New Old Stock: Chris Reeve Leather Inlay Classic 2000 Sebenzas

Chris Reeve Knives Large Classic 2000 Sebenza with Leather Inlay

Found some “New Old Stock” stuff in our warehouse – Large Classic 2000 Sebenza’s with Brown Calfskin Inlays.

As part of my “hey, this would probably sell a lot better if I put pictures up on the website” series, I immediately grabbed one and snapped a shot.  The calfskin is very “money” – it gives the impression of a very expensive automobile.  This is truly a dressy work piece.  The “born on” dating in the package shows these are from 2002.

The Chris Reeve Integral Lock Folder series has long been considered to be the standard to which all other production folders should aspire. Combining excellence in craftsmanship with the latest in materials and quality design, the Sebenza is a rugged workhorse of a knife that has built quite a following.

From Chris Reeve – “…My first impressions of the liner lock style locking mechanisms were very favorable but when I examined it more closely, I decided that I didn’t much like the flimsiness of the thin liner. After some thought, I redesigned the concept and have created the Sebenza Integral Lock© which I believe to be the most rugged folding knife on the market.

I’ve added pictures and specifications to the Ontario Knife Company Joe Pardue Utilitac Series.

The Utilitac is available in 8 configurations – Plain or Partially Serrated Edge, with a Black or Silver Blade, and  Black or Green Handle. The  Green handled models color is a suprise; it’s more of a grass / field green rather than the usual Olive Drab.

Here are the available models:

The Utilitac Series is another indication from Ontario that they are moving further into the folding knife market by collaborating with custom knifemakers to produce consumer friendly designs.  The Utilitac, like it’s name implies, is a blend of utility & tactical in a solid little package that is certainly easy on the wallet: MSRP is only $50, our price is $35.99.

Added pics and specs to  CRKT 4020RH Graham Stubby Folding Razel

The Stubby Folding Razel™ is a short little frame lock with straight cutting edges of 2.0” and 0.923”. The blade is easily opened with either hand, thanks to dual knurled thumb studs. The hand-contoured ram horn scales swell to fit securely in your palm. Three stainless steel back spacers yield an easily cleaned open build. This is the perfect tool to use for any precision cutting task, such as shaving just a few thousandths of an inch from a woodworking cut, or cleaning up the inside corners of a mortise. And it is strong enough with hefty liners, a 0.13” thick blade, a deep finger choil and ample thumb friction grooves, to handle any rough cutting job, too. Whether you’re a woodworker, electrician, mechanic, sculptor, or home hobbyist, you’ll become attached to this little guy.
