I'm looking for a 940 in 20CV (or M390) and these seem to be the two options out there at present. I'm leaning towards the 1501 from Knifeworks. It's $40 cheaper, and KW is worth supporting. The 1701 looks great, though. I like the black liners and red highlights, the price...not so much. I wonder if the blue/black combination is too flashy (I prefer subdued looking knives) OTOH the 1701 is probably pretty flashy as well.
Has anyone handled or owned both or been struggling with a similar decision? I'd like to hear your thoughts or reasons why you went one way or the other.
