BM 615 - Thoughts?

[Cotton26]

I'm considering the Benchmade Mini-Rukus as my next EDC. Does anyone have any reviews or comments? Also, I need help finding the cheapest price online.

Love my Mini-Rukus; superb edge-holding, locks like a bank vault, solid as a tank. It is a bit of a fistful to pack around though. I've picked up a BM 710 in D2 as it is a little more compact.

My BM 615 is one of my top three knives. It shares the upper ranks with my 735 Ares and my Spyderco FG CPM D2 Military.

As far as quality goes, it is very high - great fit and finish, great blade shape, axis lock is awesome, great length, good handle.

The clip sucks, but it still gets the job done.

I had problems with the S30V chipping, but I suspect that once it is sharpened fully, that will go away.

Good luck.

Kinda on the thick and heavy side for an EDC, but definitely worth putting in the rotation.

Quality, fit and finish are top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to reach for the 615 in any circumstance.

Great design. I eventually sold mine because it was getting heavy compared to my other EDCs. Now I EDC an even heavier knife, so I kinda wish I never got rid of it.

I use my mini-rukus hard and have had no problems with chipping, benchmade uses a good heat treat on these blades. Don't wait any longer get the mini-rukus you will be very happy you did.

love the flat grind and blade shape. this knife made me believe in s30v. love the low-ride pocket clip. grip is like no other. a smidge on the thick but it's currently in my top 3 with a 950 and a buck tnt.
