Usually don't ask, but...MLEK Lite or Blackhawk Silent Partner

Both around same price. Both 3.25" 440C from good companies. Haven't held either one, anybody compare?

I wouldn't get hung up on the companies. Both knives are made in Taiwan, not by the companies themselves. My personal preference would be for the Blade Tech. I hope you will forgive me for getting into the details but I just don't want to. Take care.

Blade-tech is a great company with excellent designs, products, and service. They would be my choice.

I have the M.L.E.K. Extreme with the orange handles. It came very sharp and nice and tight with no play in the blade. The blade is S30V and marked USA.

Good knife!
