At a glance
The Code Encrypt is noticeably lighter at 385g and carries a premium price to match, while the Alpha LX3 is way more affordable at $120 less and brings a much wider curve selection for players who are particular about blade shape. If budget and curve options matter, the LX3 makes a strong case, but the Encrypt wins on pure weight and build quality.
