Any pictures of an R-7?

[moblues]

I see lots of R6 knives for sale but wonder if there was an R7 HI blade that was made and if so, any chance for a picture?

Thanks!

Do a search in this forum for "r-7" and lots of pictures will show up in Yangdu's deals and other member's picture threads.

Thanks. I did but wasn't having much success. I'll try again.

Many of the threads have pics of R-7.

The R series goes from 1 - 11 currently. R-7s pop up every now and then, and are one of the more common in the R series. A search turned up a whole page of R-7s. You can always shoot Yangdu an email and I am sure she could probably get you a R-7.


I would really love to see more R-5s and R-10s, but I am unsure that will happen.

wow I didnt know they went all the way from 1 to 11... now I'm gonna have to go look for all of them!

Here's a R-7 from a deal-of-the-day offering several months ago.

Nice job putting these pic together JStrider.

I think the jungle killer was r-2

Stick knife (r-1) on left, jungle killer (r-2?) on right

 

[eswartz]

These are R-5s. (Others are multi-knife pics)

Thanks for all the history updates and pics!!!!!

 

[JStrider]

fixed the R-5

and can anyone else verify the jungle killer as the R-2?

 

[moblues]

Well isn't that special! I have an R-7, not realizing all the other R's. I am so financially screwed.

Sigh . . . one in every crowd

I like the look of several of the R series knives, thanks for the pics, JStrider!

I think the R-10 would look really neat with a handle similar to the carved horn ones you find on the Kumar Karda.
