The Wee-hawk style blade is secured to the handles with screw-head pivot-pins, making the possibility of changing out blades a reality (Benchmade plans to make optional blade styles available in the future), and the pins are heat-treated and larger than previous ones. The handle latch uses a torx-head pivot-pin attachment as well, so it may be removed if preferred. Another nice feature is the skeletonized cast Titanium handles which are very tough and of nominal weight for better balance. The handles feature a SPRING LOADED "latch gate" to prevent the latch from contacting the blade which opens automatically with a squeeze of the handles!! As for the blade itself, has been extended the false edge farther back up the blade as was done on the traditional Wee-hawk designs. So if you're already a Bali-Song fan from way back, you'll definitely be pleased with the new Model 42. Or if you're just looking for the ultimate in basic form and simple function-this is it.
