CRKT Titanium Mirage or BM 330?

[dsvirsky]

Thinking of getting one or the other. Price and stats are very similar (especially if one were to take the clip off the Mirage).

Slightly better steel on the Benchmade, but that's not a big factor -- I have a CRKT CF M16 with Acuto 440, and edge holding is satisfactory. On the other hand, I know what angle the CRKT will be sharpened at when it arrives, but can't say that for Benchmade.

What say you fine people (yeah, and the rest of ya' too

)?

I just got a titanium Mirage today. I also looked at the BM 330. Frankly, I was not impressed with the Benchmade. The Mirage is a good little knife - about the same size as the William Henry CF Lancet and about 0.5 ounce heavier. It's got a good feel to it. CRKT continues to impress with very good cut for the buck.

I received a BM330 recently and was really disappointed with it and would definitely choose the Ti Mirage over it. Nice blade shape and a really unique design on the BM330 but that's about it. And comes with the terrible edge geometry that TEARS paper without even making an attempt to cut. Entirely my opinion, but this is the link to my post in the knife reviews section: http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/002239.html

Own both and the TI CRKT wins hands down.
