difference in 679 nd 685

[iamjethro]

I am searching for a Christmas knife for nephew. I have found the 679 with guthook and the 685 with gut hook. Both list same size blade, gut hook, handle. One is 38 dollars and one is 20.

What am I missing?

679
Handle: Black Alcryn® rubber with texture

685
Handle Material: Dynaflex Rubber

I would go with the later, its more rubbery
