Grayman Dua Vs DMKnives Crossfire Mid-tech

[whitehat]

I love flippers given its a good design and I love a solid frame lock. Which knife of the two would be a better all around knife? Does anyone have the Dua and Crossfire and have an opinion? I'd like to pick up both but if I can only chose one of these which route would you go? I'm interested in hearing what you guys have to say about these two knives.

I have a Dua.

IMO a washer pivot is more basic, sturdy and care-free than a bearing pivot. Not sure what your usage is going to be so when you say "all around knife" I can tell you that my Grayman can certainly be an all around knife. It's the one I'd want if stranded in a Central American jungle for a month and then be right at home and not glaringly out of place at the ambassador's dinner party, slicing the champaign foil upon my rescue. Hard to match a Dua for tough AND having a classy side...at least the Ti-ti version.

Where there's a Grayman folder question I simply tell people, "If you like the look just buy it. There will be no issues with the knife." IMO it's everything one could ask for in a folding knife its size.

I suppose I'm looking for the best value. I hear only good things about Grayman and I very strongly am leaning towards the Dua but the Crossfire is something I haven't really heard much about. I do like the construction of the Dua but again I just haven't heard any feedback about the crossfire and I'm very interested in it too.
