**EDIT I can get any knife under 200. Not just these 2. But I want to try out either.
So the girlfriend insists on buying me a present. New-ish to knives here. Alright guys, tough choice here. I dont know how M4 steel is but ive heard it was nice. How hard is it to sharpen? And how does it hold an edge?
I have the choice between a Paramilitary S30V
Or a 950 Benchmade Rift in M4. The Benchmade has the black coating on it if that makes anyones choice easier. Only 50 are being made. And its 144.95
Do rifts suck? I have no idea about benchmade, and it will be my first benchmade, and also spydie. Any input guys? Thanks. It will be used for everyday tasks, cutting cardboard, opening boxes, slicing food. Anything.. Sorry if I sound like a novice here, but I am.
