When is the benchmade 62 coming out

The blade has been finished with a satin finish which is created by repeatedly sanding the blade in one direction with an increasing degree of a fine sandpaper. This blade finish is used to show off the bevels of the blade while also showcasing the fine lines in the steel.

This blade finish is the most popular finish used in the cutlery industry and gives the knife a very traditional look.

In terms of luster, the satin finish falls right in the middle; a mirror polished finish is going to be much more reflective and a coated finish is going to be more matte. The satin finish also works to cut down on corrosion, although that is not a defining characteristic of this blade finish. The blade on this Benchmade knife has been carved into a spear point blade style, which is also known as a Weehawk blade style, giving this knife its name.

The spear point blade shape is similar to the needle point blade because they are both good for piercing. However, a spear point blade shape is stronger and contains a small belly that the needle point does not. Both edges of the knife rise and fall equally to create a point that lines up exactly with the equator of the blade. One of the most common places that you are going to see this blade shape is on a throwing knife.

A spear point does differ forma needle point blade, because the needle point blade has a very sharp but weak point. The spear point blade shape has a strong point that is still sharp enough for piercing.

The spear point blade also features a lowered point, which adds an element of control when you are using this knife, especially when you are using it to complete fine tip work. Spear points also differ form the needle point blade because it contains a small belly that can be used for some cutting and slicing applications, however, the belly is relatively small when compared to drop pint and clip point knives.

The spear point is known as a great hybrid blade, because it contains the sharp point of a dagger with the strength of a drop point blade, while still keeping some of the belly that is used for slicing. This blade shape crates the perfect knife if you are looking for a knife that has a good balance between piercing and slicing capabilities. The blade features a plain edge, which is going to allow you to take on a wider variety of tasks, while providing you with clean cuts.

This is the perfect blade if you have a lot of push cuts to accomplish. The handle on this Benchmade knife is made out of stainless steel. Stainless steel offers some huge benefits as well as some huge disadvantages when it comes to knife handles. For starters, stainless steel has incredible durability as well as being very resistant to corrosion. The handles on this knife are going to be and stay strong because of what they are made out of.

Unfortunately, stainless steel is one of the heaviest materials that your knife handle can be made out of. Also, stainless steel has the tendency to be slippery, unless the proper texture has been added. This means that the manufacturer has to add time and energy to make sure that you can have a secure grip on this knife, which does add a cost to it. There is barely any handle play in the open position and everything feels like it's been smoothed out or polished for comfort.

No rough machine marks or leftover metal filings. I really love how they crowned the blade for extra comfort. They really stepped it up with this one, considering that previous Bali-songs all had sloppy handle play and looser tolerances, even some of their old school custom pieces. Flippability: - I'll be upfront: I still prefer the 42 over the 62, given a choice between the two.

The 62's overall length is a tad shorter than what I prefer for a flipper. However, the weight and balance is excellent. It has the nice heft that provides momentum for most tricks. But I prefer if they reduce the weight down to something more manageable, around 5.

The crowning on the spine makes it extremely comfortable when doing certain moves like rollovers. The latch does not come in contact with the blade because of the spacer which acts as a latch gate. It does however come in between the handles in either the full open or closed position. I see no difference between the zen pins and traditional tang pins; they both work and feel the same to me.

Not to take away from the 62, but the 42 had already "solved" many of these problems. In my limited experience, I think it flips a lot better than their 51 and definitely better than any Kimura I've handled. Materials and Features: - I guess I'm one with the minority here, but I kinda like what Benchmade did with the I remember Benchmade noted on their Facebook page that they wanted to throw back to some of their old school models and I think they did that really well. It has the nice solid feel of stainless handles that gives confidence when you pick it up.

And despite all its shortcomings, I really like the T-latch. Granted, it could use some improvements like rounding off the edges or a different latch shape, but I really LOVE the feel and sound of an old school T-latch kicking around while flipping, like a badass motherfucker. Suggestions for Improvement: - Elongating the overall length and reducing the weight by about 0.

This should give people the option to carry it and EDC if they choose to, or take the pocket clip completely off and have it as a dedicated flipper. Not everyone is comfortable wearing a sheath pouch around to hold their knives. Conclusion: - The Benchmade 62 was never intended to be a dedicated "flipper". I think Benchmade had designed it with this in mind.

They listened to their customer base, who wanted the return of the 42, but were unable to continue providing affordable Ti channel balisongs.

I remember Knifezoid saying that there are primarily three types of balisong user categories: flipper, collector, and EDC. Lamnia's speciality is a selection of more than knives and folding knives. We carry hundreds of scandinavian knives, the famous Finnish Puukko knives among them; folding knives, hunting knives and kitchen cutlery from the world's best brands such as Spyderco, Cold Steel, Roselli, Fox Cutlery and Marttiini.
