I saw the picture and I thought "Cool, 42 t-latch," then I zoomed in and looked closer and was like "wat."
That's not a 42. 42s don't use pins AFAIK, they use screws. For comparison, an actual 42 (spring-latch here, and anodized, but the handles are more-or-less the same between models):

My favorite knife does not do flips, does not make any real noise and isn't pretty to most folk. It does, however have the ability to cut off it's wielder's fingers if they aren't precise. Or an arm, for that matter.
I don't have a good one of my own yet, I borrow the one at work when I need it. But I can cut whole chickens straight in half with ease using this, and trim most beef and pork cuts with it.

Instead of messing around with his, he has a practical use for it.

As much as I like the cleaver, I find it inconvenient to carry with me everywhere.

Silly Canadian, your lack of exposure to knives has left you ignorant of a balisong's usability.

There are only two other types of blades that I like to use.
One is a boning knife, which looks similar to this:
The blade is slim and skinny, and only about 6 inches long. It allows you to cut very close to the bone and trim off most of the meat in very quick, clean movements.
The other is this one, it's a plain butcher's knife:
The blade is about 12 inches long, with a Granton's edge. The edge is useful because when you cut meat, the edge allows air to stay around the blade of the knife, so it's easier to cut through thicker pieces of meat or to pull the blade out in mid cut.
I found another cleaver, this one looks much closer to the one I actually use.
Most people don't like using them for prolonged periods of time, because they take a lot of arm to use. I like them because they are quick and clean, and allow you to cut soft meats into pieces with straight edges, like perfect cubes.
Unless someone makes a knife thread, I'll stop yammering on about them myself. I loves me a nice cleaver.

I very rarely use paring and chef's knives for preparing food. More often I use a utility knife or x-acto for cutting plastic, cardboard, foam, etc, when I'm building stuff. I don't know if balisongs are even legal in this country.
