I prefer sterile. I've never really cared for logos on my stuff.

Normally, this is a mild preference, where I don't really care too much one way or the other. In the case of these knives, my preference is a bit stronger, because (no offense, Rat Finkenstein) I dislike the logo. It's drawn well and evocative, but I don't like what it evokes. I don't want some picture on my knife of an angry pitbull glowering and baring its fangs. I'm a happy-go-lucky nature photographer who just wants a good knife for when I'm adventuring in the great outdoors. This vision of anger, threat, and bloodthirstiness just doesn't suit me well.

Not really a big deal, but... given the option... I'll take sterile.
