Hey guys. So I was wondering what is better, the 950 Rift or 51 Morpho? I have a recent post asking which is the overall top of the 940, 950, and 810. I decided that the 950 Rift is the best out of those three for me. Now I know that this is an uncommon discussion as these two knives are completely different. If I did get the 950 Rift, I would get it from the Cutlery Shoppe as it has a custom grip and S30V steel which I prefer over the usual 154CM. If I got a 51 Morpho, I would get the blue version with the stonewashed D2 blade from Blade HQ.
I have handled (cheap) butterfly/bali-song knives before and I can do a few tricks. I am not a professional flipper whatsoever. I like the 51 Morpho as a bali-song and I can see myself using it for edc because where I live, bali-songs are legal. I like the D2 steel and I also like the fact that it has a pocket clip and spring latch.
For the 950 Rift, I like how the exclusive Cutlery Shoppe has the S30V steel, the custom orange and black G10 handles, and the orange anodized stand-offs. I was confident on buying the 950 because I do like it a lot. However, I'm unsure because I feel like maybe I should get something different.
I have a moderate amount of higher-end knives. I have a Benchmade Griptilian, which I have carried, but a friend of mine chipped the tip off of and it is half serrated which I do not prefer anymore; I prefer a full plain edge. I also have some Kershaws, some examples are the Blur and the Leek. I have some Spydercos, some examples are the Endura 4, the Tenacious, and the Domino. But the Griptilian is my only Benchmade.
What I want to know is should I go with the S30V 950 Rift or go for something different and get the 51 Morpho? As previously stated, I like them both a lot. I would be using either one mostly for edc and self defense if I needed to. Sorry if this post was a little confusing. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
