Meerkat vs. Lava - anyone have both?

[DavidZ]

Can anyone post some side by side pictures of these two knives. Specs. are very similar size wise. I would appreciate any subjective comparative comments as well.
Thanks,
Dave

I'd have to go with the MeerKat over the Lava honestly. I've got small hands though so the MeerKat is more comfortable in the hand. It's also cheaper on the secondary market as well, which is a plus. MeerKat also has a low-ride wire clip which is nice on small knives. Only downside is it's tip-down only which can be annoying at times.

Thank you for these great pics! The meerkat it will be!
The Meerkat is definitely thicker per the pictures, and I love the wire clip!

I'd been thinking about a Lava (have a Meerkat) and the pics really helped me decide to pass. Thanks for posting!

Meerkat is very thick. I prefer the Lava to be honest.
