SOG Agency or Blackjack Model 1-7

[yuri gagarin]

Was looking at the SOG Agency and the Blackjack Classic Blades Model 1-7 and they both look very similar, with the exception of the grip material (leather washers on the Agency, micarta on the 1-7). I assume the 1-7 is superior, made of A-2 steel and also made in the US. 1-7 blade is also slightly thicker. SOG Agency is slightly less expensive, but they are both up there in price. Anyone have one of these, (or both -- even better) and can tell me which to add to my collection?
