Are you talking about the desert cruiser? I have both, buy the JYD II. Its much slimmer in the pocket and is overall easier to carry in my opinion. I also like the way it holds and the liner is slightly thicker, which I find appealing. I just prefer the overall package of the JYD. I have not had the chance to do more than cut up boxes with the CRKT but for edge holding i know the sandvik steel in the JYD is good. I switch it out in my edc often, great knife I think you'd be happier with they dog.
