Great comparison pic's Jeff! Put side by side I think I like the RMD's lines better but will hopefully know one way or the other soon. Now I hear they are doing Satin with green linen handles which really is a combination I would have preferred...it will probably be cheaper than the LE's and more able to be Double Cut as an after market job without ruining an LE...so I wish they had told us what they planned at the start.
All this smoke and mirrors on what variations are intended is a bit of a bugger when you end up buying a more expensive version that would be your second choice to the one coming after....
The more I think about it the more this style of marketing does'nt appeal to me....I like straight up information when it comes to basing what I am going to spend money on...usually people involved in guns and knives are all of a straight talking type...maybe Busse should factor that in when thinking about release information.
