At a glance

The Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter at 395g and significantly cheaper at $150 CAD, making it the budget play if weight matters to you. The HZRDUS 3X5 is heavier but gives you way more flex options, twice as many blade curves to choose from, and better durability with its triple-rib blade if you want something that'll last.
