One thing you'll notice if you own the Green RC's is the coating has a slightly rougher feel to it,which I like ,I have used mine many times but the green coating does not wear like the tan or show funky marks like the black,I have not baton with it yet but normal cutting /shaving limbs marks are easily cleaned off.

I reach for my RC4(green) 90% of the time on my hiking / fishing trips.one of my top 2 favorite knives to have with me on outdoor excursions....
