Got a 51 the other week and after a few days as my EDC as well as several enjoyable evenings flipping (no cuts yet so I mut not be doing something right) I have to say I like it a lot.

It's not my 42 but I decided it doesn't have to be. It'll stand on it's own merits just fine. Now I'm wondering if a 32 is something I need to consider? Smiler

I got a 32 for my son. He is 11 going on 12. It is a small knife, but he tried to steal my 51 too many times and deserved his own. (He is a good boy)

Is there any aspect of the 51 that seems fragile to you?

By the way, I love the 32. Great knife. Even for grownups. Ya gotta have one.

I think that the 51 is nearly as "solid" as a 42.

42: Ti handles
51: Ti liners, G10 handles
51-91: Ti liners, CF handles.

you can'T go wrong with the 51. However, be aware that the 51 is much lighter than the 42... so flipping will be a whole other experience Smiler

Nah, not to me. And I have handled A LOT of knives Wink

It is on par with most knives (material-wise) that everyone is using.

I hope this helps!
