    -handle a 5 in-person before buying one, they are THICK. I owned one for a week and found my Home Depot crowbar to be better balanced.

    Kind of what I like though with the 5. Going on the EDC Pack.

    Will I get more use out of the 6. Hiking, camping, Backpacking? Or will the 5 be better??

    Orrrr.......

    I've been eyeing an ESEE-5 but the budget won't allow it so I think I'm going to end up with a Becker BK2. It looks like it's built like a damn tank.

    When it comes to backpacking and hiking, I find a good folder far preferable but that's just me. Weight adds up quickly with all of the items that typically go into a pack for high-elevation backpacking/hiking that is common in CO and while a giant fixed blade looks fantastic in Bob's Tactical Times Illustrated, that extra pound on my back is not a welcome addition.

    100% agree. We do a lot of hiking and backpacking. I agree with the folder for weight, but sometimes want something fixed and bigger! Went with the 5 cause I wanted something I can hit with hammer!

    I have a lot a hammers!!!

    I didn't want anything too big or cumbersome either which is why I went with the 4.

    I actually even picked up an Izula as well for when I really want to save weight and space.

    Benchmade Griptilian and a RAT-3 camping/hiking. Maybe an Izula around the neck. I seldom use an outdoor knife over 3".

    The dayglo green/orange ESEE looks handy. I spent half an hour looking for the RAT-3 in high grass once.
