Curtiss Nano vs. ARS Flip Shank

[skippyW]

I have been looking for a small sturdy folder for EDC. Right now I have it narrowed down to a Curtiss Nano linerlock, a Curtis Nano frame lock or a ARS Flip Shank, also a framelock. Hardly any reviews of either knife. They have similar construction, materials and blades. Ideally I would look at them both and pick one out in 5 minutes or so. I guess that my deciding factors would be ergonomics, fit and finish. Anyone here own or handled both of these knives? Any pro or con input would be helpful.

Thanks

I lusted a while for the Curtiss nano, picked up a boker knockoff of it on eBay. Love the knife, the search is now on for the perfect genuine nano.

I've got the Boker colab Nano which is pretty close to the Curtiss originals in terms of geometry. The straighter handle of the ARS is going to be more ergonomic. But the Nano is just cool.
