At a glance
The Blackout is way more affordable and comes with a much wider curve selection, while the HZRDUS Smoke is noticeably lighter and built with elite-level materials at a steep price jump. If budget and blade variety matter, the Blackout wins on paper, but the Smoke is in a different performance tier for serious players.
