So, sadly I have to come back here in search of help. The Smock I bought on na online marketplace sadly had a chipped edge so I got the guy to take it back and refund me.
So now I wanted to go directly for the other option, a M4 bailout, but then came across this: http://www.viper.it/en/gentleman&collezione/katla.html. It actually looks kinda awesome, is a voxnaes design with a m390 blade and so many handle options, that marbled carbon is sexy af. How is m4 compared to m390 generally speaking? I also think about in the pocket Vs in the hand. The bailout seems so slim and will be instantly scratched by my keys and the voxnaes seems more robust ,even though it's a (admittedly thick) liner lock compared to the supposedly stronger axislock (besides the omega spring debacle). The bailout I would get for 170 to 180 so they are basically the same.
Thanks in advance for your input, I'm interested in your opinions about the katla handle options as well.
