The timing on this thread is perfect.
I just got a Comp SJTAC from the last ganzaa thinking I could use it as a hiking knife. It is very nice and it came very sharp from Busse. But, I think it is almost redundant with my S6 (which I am more likely to use)

I think anything over 5" on the trail is overkill for the kind of hiking I do.
So now I am thinking about selling it and getting a BATACLE to use as a hiker. Sounds like you guys like the RMD and HRLM better though? Is the BATACLE overkill for a hiking knife?
