Has anyone got both of these bad boys and compared their performance at various, ahem, cutting tasks? I only have the bowie, my favorite folding knife, and I'm wanting the stiletto, as well as the Aftermath!! (and the Dominator...) E.E., in Kalifornia where folders are fun.
 
Run a search in this forum. I had the same questions last week and found a wealth of opionins on this subject.

I can sum it up to this, the majority of BF members prefer the Bowie amd the rest like the stiletto (it's almost a cult like following). The diffrence being the stiletto has had some blade centering issues and QC problems and runs quite a bit more than it's Bowie counterpart.
 
I've read the threads and decided to get the stiletto to add to the bowie. It's too beautiful to pass up. And I can do my own comparisons then. I will be a member of both 5.5 cults!:D :D
