MK VI vs Green Beret

What you intend to use them for would help with getting opinions.
I'm not a big fan of serrations so my choice would be the MKVI. I have a Mtn II, which is similar. Great knife and perfect size. However, I also have a 7" GB. Although it has serrations, it still has 6" of plain edge blade. On this particular knife I find the serrations useful.
As you can see I could not make up my mind either, so I bought one of each, in different sizes!

GET BOTH! 
The only 2 CRK's I have are the MKVI and the 7" GB, the same ones you are looking at. The Green Beret is a great looking knife and feels really good in the hand, but I agree, the 7" is a little large to carry around on a day hike! The MKVI has came in handy many times.
By the way, the below thread is what convinced me to get the MK VI. Piter M took some great pics!

I think I am going to try the MKVI to start, with a Green Beret to follow in a couple of months...
Does anyone have any opinions on the leather sheath that comes with the MKVI ? is it a user ? My preference is the wrap-around style leather sheath like the one that comes with the Mountaineer II. Is it made by Gfeller Case Makers like the Sebenza sheath ?

I like the one piece design, I have a mountaineer II along with a project II pe. Both make a fine general knife. My favorite is the mountaineer for the blade length is just right. I carry matches in the handle. The wind/water proof type.
