Yes, I know these two knives are not even in the same category as far as intended usage goes, nor are they in the same category in terms of quality. The main reason why I'm comparing these two, is because they're both available for the same price (150USD) from KC. I allocate a budget for knives each month, approx 2k, so that's that.
The Exfiltrator is a knife I've been wanting for sometime due to its aesthetics. However, recently I've been reconsidering, mainly due to the fact that I decided to get the Spartan Ares, which has somewhat filled the desire for a combat fixed blade under 6 inches. Furthermore, the weight of the Exfiltrator (13.6 oz) is too heavy for EDC; the Ares is under 7 oz, which is fantasic.
Being that one is a knife that I've wanted for some time (but recently less), and the other (the Enyo) is a knife that I've been wanting more and more, but haven't quite pulled the trigger on it (in some pics it looks tiny, but in others it looks like it'd fit my hand perfectly), I'm doing what anyone who can't decide would do: ask other people for opinions.
Even if you don't own either of these knives, feel free to chip in on which one you'd prefer. Both are the same price.

I guess another thing that bugged me a bit is that TOPS has this stupid thing that says "Hotlinking images is theft," which frankly puts me off the brand a little...
