How does the RMD and S5 compare? The S5 can only dream about being an RMD I don't know about that. Besides the fact that they're both SR-101 and similar in size, they're both great in their own different ways. not my pic. When I first got into bussekin, I was first exposed to swamp rat and the HRLM, never got one but the return is tempting. Still want to check out a SAR or Rat hunter.

shot in the dark here...
HRLM = Howling Rat Linen Micarta? Howling Rat Little Mischief. I'm assuming the name is along the same lines as the Mischief 6 (M6), Mischief 9 (M9) and so forth. Lords and Ladies of the European Middle Ages made a complicated game of hunting. One branch of that game involves Terms of Venery. These are specific names for collection of animals. We still talk about a pride of lions and a pack of wolves. These are hangovers from those mostly archaic lists. They talked about a clash of bucks, a rascal of boys, a mute of hounds, and a rage of maidens (go figure). A group of our naked tailed friends was a mischief of rats. This the prevalence of “mischief” in naming Swamp Rat blades.

The S5 is a bunch lighter also b/c of the handles
To me, they are the tops of the 5" blades

Did you have or like the HRLM Bruce? I was surprised it wasn't for me- there's such love for that blade. I like my 2nd generation HR much more.

I don't check th Swamp very often. Someone be sure to let the yard know when they are up. I have a RMD, don't need a HRLM but I do want a Rat Shaker.
If you don't sharpen your axe from time to time, you will soon be chopping with a hammer.
