My very first one was a Jaguar, which is a knock off of the benchmade - a much more expensive piece. I like my Jag. It has always performed well. You might save a lot of money by perusing your local pawn shops. I was able to pick up a mint condition Benchmade 42 for 60.00 - a very good price. scarecrow _________________ Let my choicest companions be those who's choicest companion is Christ.

My thought on the M-techs is that we were still talking about a first bali. I'd still have to stick with "Balisongs" (or any knives) between $20.00 and $40.00. It gets too spendy to be fun at more than or even close to a C-note each. I don't know how much the really high end models go for but I wouldn't want to end up a $80.00 square handled Bali and fall in love with a $15.00 round handled P.O.S.. Besides you guy's taught me to take my time and figure out what trips your release button before blowing the monthly blade funds on a single knife until you know exactly what it is you want. _________________ WHAT WE DO IN LIFE, ECHO'S IN ETERNITY!

Biting is BAD! I prefer a nibble Seriously, the masters sound like a decent investment and differences mean choices, I didn't mean to leave out any one particular manufacturer. But, I can only relay my experience with the M-tech as a affordable Bali. I've had others (I have the scars to prove it! ) but of the cheap ones I've had, I really never knew the Manufacturer.
