Okay, I like the looks of both of these. Anybody happen to own one or both, and could give pros and cons?

I bought a Gerber Ridge knife at Wal Mart a while back. Personally, I wouldn't bother with it. In particular, I don't like the fact that you need only press on the center of the knife frame to release the locked-open blade. This seems to happen a little too easily. Also, the knife seems awfully small and hard to get a grip on. Just my .02
