Description:
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.
This item qualifies for our layaway program!
Got mine from BHQ for 500 ! I knew this knife would go up in value!
This knive is so smooth and sharp. I shaved my arm with it . Way worth it. Best blade in my collection.
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!!!
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.
Nice knife but started getting surface rust after only 1 day of carrying it. Didn't get wet or see any use other than flipping.
Materials are high quality. Weight is good and doesnt feel heavy like others claim it to be. I flipped it repeatedly for the first 24 hours I had it. Flips nicely and feels good in the hand. The ringing sound you get is from the safety lock impacting the safe handle during manipulation. After the abuse I gave it in those 24 hrs the knife has tap from both handles and the safety lock has weakened toward the locked position and moves easily. Loctite everything and let it sit for a couple days and it is almost a perfect now. For the cost I would of expected a little better attention to detail from benchmade. Perhaps some actual product testing and quality control is in order for a 700$ knife? Although the s30v blade is nice I don't think it warrants the price gouging either. In my opinion although the knife is really nice quality it is overpriced and should be marketed more in the 500-550 range like the 87. Overall I like it alot once I applied loctite. Solid knife just hurts the pocket to own and not be afraid to use. Good buy if you can afford it.
