i'm looking for a new EDC knife. i lost my Kershaw Leek (S30V w/ black G10 grips) and i figured i might as well upgrade. i'm looking at auto knives and what seems similar in size to the Leek were the mini-Presidio series. i was hoping for some feedback on these knives to help me make a decision.
it seems like the two major differences between these knives is that the 5270 has 440c vs the 154cm in the 5500 and the 5270 is lighter b/c it uses Noryl GTX material which i'm unfamiliar with. is that GTX material similar to G10? if it is will it chew up my clothing like my G10 grips did?
should i go for the 5500 b/c of the 154cm steel? the 440c and the 154cm seem to be basically the same in hardness so i figured it's almost a wash.
so, i'm fighting between these two but i'm also considering a 943 but the 943 doesn't come in auto, as far as i know.
Thanks for any help.
