Z Day comes...... Chose only one...
I'm planning on getting a BRS AB and a BM42 in the next couple of months. (The BM 42 might have to wait until after I snag a Cold Steel Warrior Katana ) Even though I've never handled or used an AB, I'd probably choose that one. From several reviews, and all the work put into the design and production of the knife, it sounds pretty reliable. Titanium is very durable!
Side Notes:
-Yes I am a huge Walking Dead fan!
- A Bali would be the most reliable folding knife to have. Here's my reasons....
*Locking Mechinism = your grip, don't see it failing.
*One handed opening
*You can manipulate it between Standard and Reverse grip quickly and easily.
*Could be intimidating to other surviving humans
*Standard Size closed can be used as a nice Kubaton or make for a weighted punch.
Just started flipping? Hard to find decent Balis in the $30-$60 range? The Search Ends Here!
Don't hold out for a BM42! Take that $400+ you are planning on spending and go get in line for an Alpha Beast! You won't be disaponted!
