I have to choose between a Brand new BM 350 or a Brand new Osprey Model 7120 Darrel Ralph design. Which would you choose?? I would love to hear if you own both. Thanks
 
This is a trade, So any other suggestions in that price range don't really help in this situation. Thanks in advance
 
I think both knives look cool, but as far as practicality, I'd go for the Osprey. The spear-point grind on the 350 leaves the edge too thick for my liking, while the Osprey has a much thinner profile. This lends to better slicing. Of course, if you don't use it for daily slicing (cutting an apple, opening mail, etc.) the strengthened tip of the 350 might be better for self defense type purposes. Now the blade steel is another question, as BM uses ATS-34, while I believe the Osprey is of a little softer steel, AUS8. Still a great steel, but may influence your decision. Overall, I believe they have the same $$$ value. I'd personally prefer the Osprey.

Ok, I decided to reciev the BM, Reason being that the Osprey is a great knife, But this was the most basic model and I decide to purchase the model with maple and black blade THANKS everyone
