Anyone Have a Benchmade Rukus?

Sentry Solutions Tuff Cloth is a protectant on a wiping cloth. Think silicone cloth, but actually works.

Ah. Thanks. I've heard of them for years, but all of a sudden, my mind was blank when you mentioned them.

Thanks.

Okay, I got the Rukus. I really like it. It is large. It opens so easily, it almost opens itself.

It is so smooth, that if you unlock it with one hand and your finger is over the blade recess in the handle, it can close on your finger and cut. It's sharp.

I would love to see another version, with a little more grip at the bottom of the handle. If it flared out just a little more, it would be even more secure in your hand. Having said that, it's still a comfortable grip.

Very nice knife.

the action is smooth on the Rukus. Very easy to open fast with a slight flick of the wrist.

I've owned a Rukus for a while. . . . great knife. It IS big, but it sits very comfortably clipped into the jeans hip pocket. I have worn it every day since new, it is that comfortable and unobtusive.
The tolerances of the pivot are impressive - no lateral play, or incidental vertical play - at all. . . . very sharp, right outta the box.

It didn't take long to make me bleed. In fact - twice. We are blood-brothers.

I know the Rukus can be a bit large , so I whipped up a leather sheath for one. Making sheaths is a friggin addiction.
