Rough Rider Rifleman Series Question

[winchester73]

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the RR708 and RR709? They are both stockman knives and appear to be the same length.

708 has square bolsters. 709 has round bolsters.

Thanks Rick. i thought the overal length might be the difference between the two but i guess you answer explains it.

I believe you are correct. I just took a quick look when I saw your post and the bolsters were the first thing I noticed. They are in fact, different closed lengths.

Wonder if the main blade is any longer, wider on the rr708 or the same. Anyone know.
