Awesome, Mo! Thanks for being game to try out the aluminum version. I ended up at the same conclusion you did: I’m not a fan of metal handled/bodied knives, but I can’t find anything about this one to take issue with other than my personal preference. Build quality and function are great.Culprit99
Your 791 Elite with the 154 mod worked well. It arrived sharp and made easy work of the seasoned Willow.
The two 791 Range knives feel like different knives to me. The Elite has a heft and quality about it, visually and functionally. It was comfortable and natural to use in a variety of grips - NO hot spots, NOT slippery. I'm not a fan of metal handled knives but I had no issues with this one.
The first thing I noticed about the Pro was the texture = Excellent. In hand it is very comfortable and its lightweight surprised me.
Both knives impress me. Easy ambidextrous operation. Quality general purpose blade shape. Solid lockup. VERY smooth. Of the two the Pro is still my preference and is as perfect an EDC knife as I'm aware of - easy to carry, big enough to get the job done, high quality and reliable.
I hadn’t thought about it in the way you worded it, but you’re right - they really do feel like two different knives.
