And an older Fiddleback sheath.
This is my second R series knife. My first was the R4. This one is almost exactly like the Sarge knives I have/have seen. Except for one thing. WOW this is a heavy knife. Mine has a THICK blade ~1/4". On a knife this small that is a thick blade.
Kumar made mine. The grinds are excellent. The thumb rest filework is a little uneven, but just gives it character. I haven't sharpened it yet. I already had a sheath for it, so just popped it into its new holder and on with my day. Plus, it came pretty sharp already.
Yangdu picked me out a real winner with this one. I really appreciate her service. We are spoiled here. Thank You Yangdu.

the R-6 is a can't-bust-'em Sarge/KPH. I really like mine. It would make a great emergency pry bar. Mine is made by Vim and is wonderful! I made a simple little ugly sheath for it, and have packed it for several weeks. The new Nessie is probably going to dethrone it for at least a little bit, but i like to keep it in the car or truck for an emergency blade that won't let me down.
