For what it is worth, I also have both. I still have both and I can't say that there is a difference other than looks. The steel is identical make and both are heat treated well.They get scary sharp and hold up longer than I use it most of the time...you're not wrong either way....Herb

If you're considering some others as well, I'll throw in a nomination for the Kershaw CQC-5K. It's not a flipper, but it does have a wave opening device (and thumb disc). The ergos on it are excellent as well.

Here's a pic that shows a few options compared to the RAT-1 and Cryo:

The Kabar Dozier folding hunter line. Which are awesome knives for the price in my opinion. Love love love my Large.

I know people love the RATs also.

It may come down to lock preference, and I'm a lockback kinda guy.

Thanks Marc...Dozier hates flippers
