Man, hard choice. The Emerson has a "better" steel with the 154cm, but I love VG10 as well. Both have great design aspects, and warranties. The Emersons have a chisle grind, so that may also be something for you to consider. A few reviews on the Spyderco put the angle of the locked blade somewhat more like a hawkbill than a Karambit.
Chisel grind is easier to sharpen, and is pretty strong and long lasting. Not everyone likes them though. While not as pronounced as the Emersons, my Victroinox Trekker has a chisel grind and I love it.
While I don't have either model, thinking over today, go with the Emerson. I love Spyderco, and have a lot of their stuff, but Emerson's been doing this for a long time, and knows how to make a perfect karambit.
Kerambits require a bit of retraining, both physically and mentally, in their use. The biggest thing for most folks seems to be thinking of it as 'a knife', when it really isn't, at least in the functional sense.
A Kerambit, particularly in reverse (blade on pinky side, edge on knuckle side) grip doesn't really work anything like a 'knife' as we usually use them, and so treating it as something completely new and unique seems the key to learning to use one correctly, IMHO.
Benchmade no longer produces titanium handled balisongs; their latest, the 6x series, are all steel. If youthink titanium is too heavy, you won't be able to lift the all steel ones.
