My hands like the Res-C handels more, I looked at a swamprat M6 at blade was and it was no comfort at all. I love the looks that you can get with micarta example the ratwiler I honestly think it is one of the most beautiful knifes the lines are amazing but it is not comfortavle in MY hand so I sadly pass I know you can mold it to your hand via sanding but I will most likely stick to Res-C for price and comfort, but this is just me.
