At a glance
The Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection with 14 blade options, but the Encrypt Pro is noticeably lighter and sits in an elite category with premium materials. If budget and pattern variety matter most, the Blackout wins; if you want the lightest, most refined feel and can spend more, the Encrypt Pro delivers.
