Hello everyone, I want to buy a handmade knife by a local knifemaker here in Poland, I'm undecided between these two models.

I know they are actually very similar and I like them both but which one would you choose and how do you like them? THANKS for your help

Both STEEL: 80CrV2 3mm, handle g10

I like the blade shape of two better but it will be heavier, but the ffg grind of number one better.
The more I look at them, the more I sway from two (orginally) to number one, but it isn't enough for me to say definitely.

So far, number two. If I am asked in an hour, I may have a different answer.
 
If the 2 could be had in full flat grind I would get that one. If not, I would get the 1.

excuse the ignorance but why everybody say ffg is a better option?

Unless you intend to do heavy chopping/twisting/prying (which you generally still shouldn't do with a knife) then a FFG is thinner overall, meaning it has less resistance when cutting material, generally making it better at slicing through the material. If you will just be using this for EDC tasks, you will probably find the Toxic 1 to be a better cutter. That being said, I very much prefer the look of the Toxic 1 anyway, so that is my recommendation. Post pics when you get yours! good luck.

man thank you very much for the clarification!
 
I would def. choose the FFG option, though as some have said, I do prefer the blade shape of the other knife & would likely choose that if it had a FFG. Either one will be a great little knife for you though - congrats!
 
So I asked the guy if it's possible to get Toxic 2 FFG and he said YES! So i'm going to get it thnx for your nice advice, you guys are the best! Anyway Marcin sounds pretty cool.. not sure if he is a member of the forum or you know his knives.. that's his work just in case you were interested:
