My only concern about the S5 (well, not exactly my only concern, since steel type and price are still up in the air, so more accurately, a concern) is how it'll balance; it looks great and I suppose the specs will be similar to the Bog Dog (which had a 4 1/2-inch blade). However, I'd prefer it be neutrally balanced as opposed to blade heavy.
Good point, Jim. That brings up a question. I assume you have both Micarta and G10 RMDs. Is there any difference in the balance points based on the handle material used? I seem to remember that the G10-handled version was a full ounce heavier than the Micarta-handled version and my G10 RMD seems to be a little handle heavy to me.
I only bought Micarta; G10 RMDs were always sold out when I looked. I've heard that about G10 before though, so you're not alone in that opinion.
