Benchmade 51 vs Kimuras

I have decided after flipping a cruddy balisong that it's about time I get a good one, what one should I get the BM 51 or any of the kimmies. I've heard good and bad about both knives and I don't know what one to get. Any suggestions? :|

Re: Benchmade 51 vs Kimuras

Depends on how much money you want to spend. 51 will flip cleaner but costs twice as much in most cases brand new.

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!

Re: Benchmade 51 vs Kimuras

I've been reading up on it for about a month now I've come to the conclusion that they are basically both very good knives I like both heavy and light knives so the weight wont matter, right now it's that is the benchmade with the extra 100 bucks? :|

51 is expensive, but fantastic. Kimura is cheaper, still great, but for flipping, honestly, you want the 51. I've posted somewhere else this same thing, but basically, the BM 51 is the better flipper, the Kimura is the better knife. :TU:

Re: Benchmade 51 vs Kimuras

True both of these will slice the crap out of you but if you get hit with the tip of the blade the 51 its a little more forgiving than the kimura plus the 51 just rocks. :TU:

If you're willing to spend the extra $$$ then get a 51, there's no competition. It's like comparing a high school football player to a professional player.
