Introducing the Benchmade 62 Bali-Song, a knife that combines history and tradition with modern improvements. Inspired by the classic butterfly knife, this model takes simplicity to a whole new level. The Wee-hawk style blade is now attached to the handles with screw-head pivot-pins, allowing for easy blade replacement. These pins are heat-treated and larger than before, ensuring durability. The handle latch also uses a torx-head pivot-pin attachment, giving you the option to remove it if desired. The skeletonized cast stainless steel handles are not only tough but also weighted for optimal balance. They feature a T-latch lock with an enhanced contour for improved grip. The blade itself has an extended false edge, reminiscent of traditional Wee-hawk designs. Whether you're a long-time Bali-Song fan or simply seeking a knife that excels in both form and function, the Model 62 is the ultimate choice.
