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

    Gerber Gator ATS-34

    or

    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 best️

    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?

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

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

    It's an ESEE Zancudo by RAT
    It's a bit smaller than the two you started off with but it's my EDC at the moment. AUS-8 steel is good, made in Taiwan by BRK for Knifeworks. Liner locker with a belt clip
