I think for casual field work and ease of carry..the 5" may beat it's bigger brother. It seems a very convenient, compromised size for everyday field work. But if I need a full-blown survival tool for harsh environments ...I'd probably go with the bigger brother...and not worry about the extra size/weight. For what they are made for, both are absolute classics, imho.
