Ratmandeux vs Ratmandu Proto (pics)

Blade Runner 7 · Jul 23, 2013

Got a Ratmandu Proto from =MAX= a couple of days ago (best purchase experience ever!) and wanted to share some pics. I had no idea that it is identical to my Ratmandeux LE other than the top guard.

Very nice. Love my RMDeux! Is it the same thickness? And what is the grind?

They are both 3/16" thick, with what looks to be a half height convex grind.

how does the RMD proto differ from the regular RMD.

Longer blade and I think handle as well.

Also, the RMD features a flat 3/4" height saber grind while the Proto has a half height convex grind.
