From the Sharpening Bench: Benchmade Mini Rukus Ltd. Edition -- Tactical Slicer

Here's a quick look and account of my first impressions of the striking and functional Benchmade 615BK-1401 Mini Rukus, Limited Edition of 300 pieces. The Mini Rukus is a smaller version (but not extremely mini) version of the original 610 Rukus. This limited production iteration is wearing contoured and 3-D machined black and OD green G10 scales. I find it just the right size for real world use, and its razor-like cutting ability belies its "tactical" appearance. It's a great knife! Not cheap, this 300 piece run of 615's will fetch $200-300 on the secondary markets. Is it worth the money? That's an individual decision, but for the Benchmade collector and Axis Lock fan, it's a must have.
