Customer Reviews
PROS:
The look - the skeletonized design on the handles has pretty much become the classic balisong look. When people think of butterfly knives, they're probably picturing this style.
Quality - Benchmade is known for quality. High quality materials, very well put together, comes sharp out of the box and works great for cutting tasks.
CONS:
Weight - This is the big one! In my opinion it's too heavy even for an edc. Feels too heavy in my pocket, however a lot of people actually prefer the extra weight (people will say they "like to know it's there").
Flippability - Not a great flipper. I've been flipping for about 7 years, and most people who flip a decent amount will agree with me here. It's too heavy and the balance isn't great on it.
*For the record, this was my first balisong and I learned to flip with it. You CAN flip a 6x series, and I was helixing/twirling/throwing aerials with it, but honestly can't say I've flipped this thing once since I upgraded to a better flipper. Better to put your funds towards a knife designed for flipping if you're looking to get into the hobby.
I'm still new and have been looking at the 51 or the 87 but I'm just in love with the look and feel of the 62.
I had cheap Balis growing up and I wanted a stainless steel handled Balisong. This knife is everything I wanted. Other will say it's not filppable but some say the same with the 51. If you can not flip it, you need more practice. Yes, some are easier than others to flip but to say you can not flip at all is ridiculous, it's a bali.
Could not be happier with this. When I look at other knives, it's hard for me to imagine using a different Balisong. I'm tempted to buy a 63, I like it that much.
Great steel, great build. too heavy for flipping and edc, no pocket clip. Prices continue to rise. Nothing ever changes.
Flipping. I can do pretty much all the tricks with the 62 that I can with other balisongs. However it is a lot harder to manipulate. Deceleration, aerials, even simple scissoring is much harder and causes more fatigue (due to weight). The balance is also rather sad, it feels very handle heavy. The latch is complete garbage, but I took it off and it flips much better without a latch. If you are after a more comfortable flipper that you will be spending hours flipping I do not recommend this knife.
A side note. I had to send mine into benchmade to get it fixed because of some issues, and even after getting it back it is still having problems.
I particularly like heavy balisongs, and this one is pretty balanced, despite being more toward the heavy side. Definitely a purchase I won't regret.
The review below me, from Wyatt M dated 1-28-15, surely does not know what he is talking about. With a 4.25" blade, and an open length of over 10", the knife is anything but short. The sculpted titanium handle slabs create the perfect grip as well!
As with any balisong knife, or knife in general, if you misuse the blade it will "fillet your fingers" as stated.
Please ignore the other review, as it is truly misinformed and ill educated. I myself have owned a BM Morpho 52 and a BM62 and can say with all certainty that this knife is a work of honest craftsmanship.
