Benchmade adds another amazing knife to the BALI-SONG series with the 85. The 85 is an ultra-premium, competition-ready butterfly knife built with the best materials and craftsmanship available. The integral handles are each milled from a billet of titanium, keeping the knife strong, light, and fast. The S30V blade has a drop point profile with a gentle recurve, keeping the weight nicely toward the tip for fast and controlled flipping.
Features:
CPM-S30V stainless steel offers excellent wear and corrosion resistance
Single billet titanium handles provide heightened durability.
Thrust bearing washers provide a smooth flipping experience.

I’ve not been flipping terribly long, but I have been training hard every day with my Keyshawn Luchas. I have the trainer, the standard, and the black wash. I’ve upgraded the bearings to the flytanium ceramic on all of them, and upgraded to the flytanium titanium handles on the standard. The trainer and black wash are a little heavier and not as balanced as I would like, and the standard one with the titanium scales is a little lighter than I would like. I decided to give another brand a try and get something a little higher end. Due to the lack of availability on everything I was seeing recommended, it took a while to settle on this one, which was a little higher priced than I was hoping to go. In the end, I’m extremely happy that this is what I wound up with. Right from the factory, the Benchmade is absolutely flawless. It is near silent, flips smooth as butter, is extremely easy to grip and maneuver, balanced perfectly, and is built solid enough for actual daily knife use! The weight feels to me like a compromise between my too heavy standard Lucha, and my too light titanium-scaled Lucha. The magnetic lock is also completely unobtrusive and functional and never gets in the way. I love this knife!!!
PERFECT

I’m recovering from major surgery. There are only a few things I can do for exercise. So I ordered a trainer balisong. After two months of flipping. I ordered this. Can you tell the difference between a trainer and a FULL RACE BALISONG? YES YOU CAN! So smooth. And I mean SMOOTH! Out of the box it’s ready to rock. NO adjustments. NO lube. It’s perfect! Thank you people ! Jeff C.
