Ratmandeux vs Ratmandu Proto (pics)

[Blade Runner 7]

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.

Two great blades. Nice score.

Beautiful pieces you have there!

 

[Sethrotull]

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

 

[worldwood]

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.

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.
