How many of you use or carry your 42 knowing that now if you mess it up you can't buy a new one?

Is the 42 now just a safe queen?

I now have two . Titanium with spring latch. Folsom gave a great deal on his. I also just picked up a used 42 at the traffic circle flea market for 26.00. its not NIB like the pne folsom sold me,but its a good carry. I still LOVE the BM 51 just as much.

Not at all. I have a 42 that I flip but also have a 42MC, 42 double edge.

As long as you don't drop it onto it's point and crack it off, you're good to go.

It's not rare enough to be a safe queen.

I also have a 32, 51, 30, 43, 46, 48S, 35.

My favorite flipper? Cold Steel Arc Angel, the 46 and a Roton.

I have couple so I have one I carry daily in a G2 sheath. Gary makes great sheaths by the way. Highly recommended.

If I only had one I might be more hesitant to EDC it, but as it stands I'm comfortable with giving it some usage (both flipping and tasking).

Hey CDR, what do you mean "42 double edge"? Do you mean with a sharpened swedge er what?

Viva le 42
I believe even if you snap the point of you can ge a new blade for like 25$ for none BK and 35$ for BK blades all on the other knives. No reason to think you could not have a replacement blade put on a 42 or similar model for the same money.



I know I have seen guys post vidoe from Youtube straight to thier page so it plays from here..just cant seem to figure it out. anyone have any ideas...

Thank You CARSON!

I had only had the 42 for about a month.
looking at it now...it seems like I am up and down the screen a bit much.
Not to mention I did not realize the camera had to be horizontal to record.
And I didn't drop it in that one..so I was like this is as good as it gets today.

I have since put a few more moves together added an Opening ariel and two closing arials.
now I feel like I am gonna have to put a slightly longer vid together...great Wink
