    New folding knife - Gerber Gator ATS-34 or Eka Swede 10?

    I'm keen on getting a new folding knife, i like these two.

    Gerber Gator ATS-34

    or

    Eka Swede 10

    Have heard quite good things about each of them. Keen to hear thoughts from anyone who has one or the other or both?

    I own a couple of the swedes. My favourite is similar but has the swinging blade used for gutting and is bloody good skinning as well.
    That gator is the bees knees as well. Just that my old man has pinched mine that's all.
    I like the swede best

    I don't like the Gerber handle shape nor do I like the Skandi grind in the Eka. Of the 2 the Eka has the nicer steel. What do you want it to do?
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Lovin my Spyderco Stretch too (top knife, British Racing green) 95g. Nearly half the weight of both the Gerber or Eka too.
