Did I get jazzed?

Great knife = congrats!
Of course no need or pressure to reveal the sale price, but hopefully - and I do mean hopefully - you told him you were Blade Forum family, he extended the “BF (hmmm. . . that’s rather appropriate here) discount,” you then counteroffered, and he accepted.

Looks like a hybrid: RMD handle + R6 bowie blade

Some of the custom shop R6's that took off the top guard look and feel very similar to an RMD handle, which is a great thing in my book. It does make the handle closer to an M6 handle but I think the back, top of the M6 handle is just a little higher for a slightly straighter handle overall.

I'm with everyone else though, if you paid an RMD price you got a good deal.

I do wonder if it's closer to a custom shop beefmandu though, since it's over 1/4" thick, but the beefmandu is supposed to only be 6" long.
 
I'll post pics next to my Beefmandu later. The beefmandu has a blade that is similar to the RMD it's like 1.25 inches.

If you got it on eBay, just return it if you’re not happy with it. Clearly not what you thought you were getting.

I debated it but the seller made right by me. I've decided to keep it. I appreciate the BF community for helping me with this. You all our a wealth of knowledge and considerate enough to lend both your ears and advice.

There is pretty big difference between R6 & M6 handles.
R6 is narrower and more sculpted/rounded, M6 flatter and wider.
This one looks to be a CS version (probably show or Ganza) of the MO R6 release
