PIC request RMD/Beefmandu/RMD Proto

[Mulder]

I really love the RMD and it's my favorite knife by far.
Am curious to see and hear comparison to the Beefmandu.
Anyone have all three????
I've had a RMD proto and the handle was different than the standard RMD so befor plopping down some cash for a Beefmandu (if I can finf one) show me the pics (please).

I did not realize the handle was different on the proto....now you've got me curious as well.

I have owned all 3, had to sell the proto but of all 3 the Beefmandu wins hands down.
there are 2 flavors of Beefmandu's, Blade version with swedge and Ganzaa with no swedge but crazy thick armor tip. I love both versions.
Here are a few pics for ya.....Blade Beefmandu is first....Ganzaa ver. is a few pics down
if you need more let me know.

Nice knives MAX. I like that Blade Show version.

Don't have the proto yet, but a Beef-du feels really nice in hand.

Thanx for the pics, guys :thumbup:

From what I'm seeing, the Proto handle is a good bit longer (as is the blade) and both the Proto and Beef models have the choil cut closer to the handle with less guard+ricasso so it is more comfortable when choking up. Beef blade is longer and thicker but handle-length is the same...

MAX,
Thanks for the pics.
I think I need a Ganza Beefmandu from the looks.

Here are a few more pics with other blades for comparison, also some more tip shots so you can really see the difference between the two.
