plain blade with a satin finish, the blackwood edition, i could have got the serrated one before this but wanted the plain blade.
I had the same problem when looking for my Rukus. I could only find a SBK model. I now have a new plain edge non coated blade. Benchmade will sell you a new blade for 25.00

That sounds like a real nice knife too. Do you have a pic of that knife, never seen one before in that color.
I also have the 615 but that one has a black blade with serrations (sbk) really dont care for the serrated blades. Out of all the knives i have i think only have two with serrated blades.

My 610 is my folding 'bushcraft' knife, replacing an old Buck 110 in that function. Here it is with the two follow up gifts from my wife - a 615 and a 615 without the thumb stud!
Okay - the bottom mini-Rukus variant is the 6150 - automatic. The pusher/sales geek said I didn't have one - and I'd like it. He sold it to her cheaper than he did the earlier 615! They still had both a new 610 & 615 for several months ago - so check your dealers for stock - they are nice. BTW, the 6150 is slower to open than the 615, if you use the safety - which you should! You have to hold on with the 6150 - it has some momentum! I don't carry or use it. Never found the replacement scales, either.
For scale, here is my 610 Rukus with my CRK Nyala, Gerber Freeman Drop Point Hunter S30V/Stag, and Buck 192 Vanguard:
Yeah, the 610 Rukus is a large knife.
