I have my oldie but goodie, and just recently was fortunate
enough to acquire two more 45S's to make a set of triplets:







My sincere thanks to rangerover for helping me out with this.
Now I'll be able to do the ambidextrous flipping maneuvers that
I've been practicing with my 40TR's. One bali just won't cut it.

I've tried out some other bali's recently, but none really compare
(for me) to the density and weight of the 45S handles. I don't
know if they're titanium or stainless steel, but if anybody has
any of the old literature or specifications for them I'd sure love
to see it if possible. I'd really appreciate it.

The handles are of sufficient mass to get the flipping momentum
up with very little effort, where the lighter bali's just seem
to be tougher to flip in some cases. All what you're used to I
suppose, but I've had my 45S for 10+ years, and I love it and
will be sticking with these as my bali of choice.

Hey man it was my pleasure. I helped two people in one fell swoop...

I really like the 45's handles too, I have them on my 43-401. Nothing like milled Stainless Steel handles to keep 'em swingin!!!!

Glad we could hook you up!!! If you ever need anything, let me know. This goes for tricks too.....

They have the classic balisong look. Very cool. Not a huge fan of any serrations though.

i used to have a 45....man it was heavy compared to a 42 for flipping

Great collection
I was fortunate enough to just get a 48s.
