Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
Like Bill said. Stilettos have a slight lead, but they're both very cool - as opposed to leverlocks which I am not so wild about, and OTF's which are mostly junk.

Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
The swing guards sound cooler!
Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
Swingers sound great! I like them both! They're both very similar. A different question/poll might get better results like stiletto vs. leverlock or otf, etc.

Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
Stiletto by far for me, but as far as user knives, the lever lock or a Microtech OTF.
Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
I prefer the unique and slightly more extravagant look of a swinguard. As far as users go, I'm a balisong type of guy.

Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
I like the looks of the traditional Italian Stiletto, but prefer the sound of a Swing Guard...

I like both, but for carry, i'd take the sleekness of the swinger, i feel it has less chance of getting stuck in ya pocket cause of the guards.

Re: POLL: Stiletto vs Swingguard
Also I feel that they have more of a impressive factor when opened. People have seen traditional stilettos in moves and possibly shops, but the swinguard is more unique.I like both, but for carry, i'd take the sleekness of the swinger, i feel it has less chance of getting stuck in ya pocket cause of the guards.
So when you go to open it in-front of your buddies to cut a piece of twine or something it's just more interesting.
Basically, not to stereotype but in my experience people usually have different opinion of the two
A basic stiletto tends to make people think wannabe punk or badass (at least in my age group)
A nice swinguard (especially a medici) instead says elegant and suave
