I had considered getting the Mayan one instead of the titanium, but I feel like if I get something decorative I won't treat it as much like a tool. I like being able to keep a cutter in my pocket with keys etc, and not really try to store it anywhere special. I wouldn't want to worry about damaging the artistic features of the cutter. 't I feel like if I'm paying for the quality of the cutter, things will just work out better. Not to knock the Mayan or other flashy cutters, because they are indeed beautiful.
