-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.......

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!!!
