I'm stuck. I have watched both of the youtube videos at least a billion times, and I cant make a decision! I like both of them alot and eventually want to get both, but for right now I can only drop a preorder on one of these. ( they actually knocked out a zt 350 and a skyline for my next edc) I know that it is all based off of personal preferance and everything but what are your reasons for picking one knife over the other? Also, ( this is for people that have actually handeled them) from the videos it looks like the piston opens a little slower than the knockout, is that true or is it just the video? Thanks for the help,

Yeah, I looked at it once or twice. I like the idea of being able to see everything in there moving, but The thumbstud seems kinda weird to me. I really like the creativity, Ive never seen anything like it, but I just dont think its for me.
 
I said the same thing when I first saw the prototype but it grew on me haha. When the Knockout was aluminum I was all over it, but now I think the Echelon has the edge over the other new designs for me.
 
I haven't handled the Piston, but if you were considering the ZT0350 or the Skyline, I'd say the Knockout fits nicely between those two. It's like a bigger, assisted opening Skyline, or a slimmer, lighter ZT0350
 
I chose the Knockout as well. The Piston looks like a good knife, but at first glance it was the Knockout all the way.
