Purchase advice Kershaw Tyrade G10 or Junkyard Dog II Composite

Don't have many but I have these two. It would be a hard choice, but one you can't mess up. So get both.

I love the Tyrade and the 'thwaak' when it locks. A beast and a handfull. The JYD is so sweet and light yet strong and mean. I think they both belong in any knife lovers stable. And it'll cost ya later on because they are limited runs. Good luck!
 
I've got JYDIIs--CB and Ti (both of which I love), but just ordered the Tyrade. Both knives feel good in my XL hands, but have very different balance: The JYD is more blade-heavy; the Tyrade sits back in your hand.

Here's one thing I thought someone else would mention, but didn't get to; lanyards. You can run a lanyard through the JYD clip (in any number of ways), but the knife itself does not have a lanyard tube (excepting the Ti model). The Tyrade has the hole for a lanyard. This might not matter to anyone else, but given the current court cases involving visible knife clips, I've been shifting over to in-pocket carry with the lanyard draped over the side.
