My CG Snakeskin/Tan BATAC (standard size slabs) arrived today so I thought I'd try a mini photo comparo. I have a crappy camera with a lot of distortion so apologies in advance for the picture quality.
First we compare the Badger to the SS4 (top) and HRLM:

The Badger is a much larger knife by blade width and handle length than the SS4 and just slightly longer than the HRLM handle excluding the skull crusher. To my hand the HRLM slabs feel more comfortable because the handle is shaped differently from the TAC handle. My first impression is that the BATAC will make a great little camp knife.
Here's the comparison of the S6 (top) and the Mutt versus the BATAC:

Again the BATAC handle is significantly larger than the Mutt handle and also larger than the S6 handle even excluding the skull crusher length. In general I find all the Res-C handles more comfortable than the BATAC handle perhaps due to my smallish hands. I think it may be because of the placement of the palm swell which I find just a little uncomfortable, though it may be one of those features you learn to love. I'll have to take it out and whip it to really figure out the comfort level in actual use.
For those that haven't ordered yet here's a little more data. For those that have ordered here's what you have to look forward to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
