BIG Folders
- Thread starter Centurian
- Start date
Benchmade, according to their forum, has announced the end of production of a few knives this year, including the 610 Rukus, 615 mini-Rukus, and 6150 Auto-mini-Rukus. I thought the 630 Skirmish and 635 mini-Skirmish would hang around a bit longer than they did - I lucked out and found a new 635, but had to go used to find my 630. So, if you think the 610 is the 'big knife' for you - and it really is neat as a pocketable bushcraft knife - you might look for one sooner, rather than later. I haven't camped - or hiked - with mine, just piddled around the yard chopping branches, etc. Big handle!

630, is an elegant knife with it's embellished Ti handle and large heavy blade. I really like it and the 610.

Hallo Centurian!
Now the biggest folder is not too small he with 143 mm of blade length absolutely, but also not.
I make to 180 mm blade length that, however, often it does not seem, because most customers prefer 110-120 mm.
Blade: RWL 34 143 mm long, 25 mm high, almost on zero polished
Blade backs: slender 5.2 mm
Titan's boards: 4.5 mm thick
Total length: thin 300 mm
Weight: 280 g

A 4" blade isn't big at all, that would be normal size.[/quote]
For me it is.

Just noticed how similar this knife is, in terms of shape and construction, to the ZT 03XX knives. Neat.630, is an elegant knife with it's embellished Ti handle and large heavy blade. I really like it and the 610.
