Benchmade 615-1 assisted opening Rukus

Who has one of the limited, assisted opening mini Rukus?
Wondering how you like it? I went ahead and ordered one, most places are already sold out. So. I thought I'd best go for it. If nothing else I can sell/trade it if I don't like it.

I know because I saw about 4 sites that had them and sold out, then I went to one and found them. They don't even have them listed unless you type Rukus in the search box. Then they came up.

All I've found say it's a black G-10 handle and the run is limited to 200. MSRP 300.00 and they sell for under 200. Sounds like a new run to me.

This one? Because if so, then I have it and it rocks.

Edit to Add: Just did some quick googling and it looks as though they did do a run of 200 with straight-up black G10. Funny that I didn't hear about it given that I work summers at a store that's ranked as a "premium plus" dealer. Must have come out during the off-season.

The blue ones were a SHOT Show exclusive a few years ago and dealers got one free for every $1500(?) they spent with Benchmade at the show. Most folks (like us) just kept them for themselves. We ended up with a few extras to sell, though they're long gone by now.

I am very interested to see how the AO holds up on it. My only beef with the original full size Rukus was that the Axis lock would loosen up with use over time. Thats a lot of blade to be flipping open. The mini Rukus has always looked like a more controllable design .
