hey bud,

i got both.i love both.i cant compare though because they're not in the same catagory.

the atc vtac might be my favorite edged weapon,and thats what i consider it...a weapon.thats because it is so light and nimble in the hand.i dont know what the idea was behind the designing of it but it turned out to be a kick @$$ hand held edged weapon imo.as far as wood chopping or camp chores...well it just doesnt seem to be designed for that.

i did some wood chopping with it and wasnt impressed but like i said that wasnt its intended use.awesome weapon and "emergecy" tool if need be.tough as hell.

the entry tool also kicks @$$.first of all i didnt find the cord wrapped handle comfortable so i sent it in to justin and had him put micarta slabs on it and now i am in love with it and cant put it down.

it is indestructable and feels great {with the micarta slabs}.as advertised on justins site it was sorta designed for military,fire fighter,entry use...hence the name "ENTRY TOOL".

i havnt tryed it on wood or done camping chores with it cause it just isnt designed for that.if i ever have to chop an escape hole in a concrete wall or anything else for that matter the entry tool is what i would choose.

as far as wood chopping or camping is concerned i would go with the rd-hawk.i put a nice high grind,sharp edge on mine and it chopps awesome and is a handy size.

any more questions just hollar
