Which one would you choose?

The Viper is more attractive to me visually. The blade profile is similar to shirogorov, which I like, but can't afford. I like the milling pattern on the Wing, and I know a little more about Viper as a company. Not knowing relative price, I'd pick up the wing easily, if they were both on a table in front of me.
 
Both make quality knives, IMO. I have a Kubey, lower cost knives by KB, and a couple of Vipers. I like the clean look of the Viper more, but it only has one opening method which is minor downside for me. If COO is important to you, choose the Viper.

Interestingly, the Viper Wing is designed by David C. Andersen of KnifeCenter videos fame.
 
im sure both are great, i would just get whatever visually appeals more to you. for me, i like the viper. looks like it also uses a top mount pocket clip which is the best IMO, allows for the deepest carry, and should be reversible if that matters to you. i like the handle texture more, and just like the profile of the shape more. David at Knifecenter has handled alot of knives, looks like he did well designing this one.
 
I'd pick the Viper over the Kubey, but I'd pick the Lionsteel Twain over both of them.
