Goin' through the 'Bay and an auction indicated the model 32 has been discontinued.

True?

Enquiring minds want to know.

not according to the bm website. but they do only offer the non coated plain edge version.

i'd say soon,it is the first i have heard bout it...

I haven't heard anything. Wouldn't be surprised, though - there's little talk of the 32, mostly the 51. I could be wrong, but I don't imagine 32 sales are exactly through the roof.

The 32 is a nice knife but quite small and very light.
Strong little knife. I like it as an small EDC
I am not the most tallented flipper when it comes to bali's but I have several moves..
Y2K roll over, Behind the eight ball,around the world, basic ariel, latch drop open/close and a few other manuvers I do...prefer my 42.
the bradly looks good and i believe i would be happy with the size of the 51...

I was hooked on the bali's once i had the 32 spin around my thumb attemping the y2k roll over
it wiped around my thumb and i caught the handle and missed getting cut when i flicked my wrist to catch it in the open postion...I was like that's sick
I started showing folks a work who could only do the basic open and their eyes went all that's cool
That only fortified my endevours to aquire a 42

Yeah, few, if any, 42 flippers will ever get excited about the 32 as a flipper - it's just too small and light in comparison, especially for people with bigger hands. It's a servicable EDC for those who need a knife with a fairly short, thin blade.

With all of the complaints about the lighter weight of the 51 by 42 lovers, it should come as no surprise that they'd have no love at all for the smaller, lighter 32.

I have a 42, a couple of 51s and a 32 and I almost never flip the 32 because it just doesn't flip well for me, especially with rollovers. There just isn't enough knife there to facilitate the moves very easily with my big ol' mitts.

I REALLY like the 32, but yeah, primarily because it is a perfect EDC-ish size, and a great little utility...and a balisong. I think it flips fine, but smaller balis make you speed up your movements, so they are not as easy to do flashy stuff with.
