BM Mini Rukus Photo review/my thoughts *warning 55 pics - bandwith intensive*

Hey Lachy I think I put it up the top, but no worries if you missed it, I got it for $190 Aussie bucks, and this kinda seemed a bit much but as soon as I got it, I knew it was money well spent. Plus it was second hand, however, for a second hand knife, it is, by my standards at least, in excellent condition.
But if you have the money spare, and don't mind a larger folder ( I think that this is a good medium size), then pick one up if you can, I don't think you won't like it. Also if you don't mind a black coated blade, and tbh I wouldn't have cared if mine was black coated, I think there are a few for sale as well.
@nevermind35 - have you used it outdoors yet - what did you think of it not, like obviously its not as strong as a FB, but frmo all the reviews I've read, its meant to be bloody tough.

I got a 615 as a gift from my wife. I wanted a 610, so, ultimately, I bought one - great pocketable bushcraft knife!
My wife went back to my local B-M 'pusher' before Christmas - they made her a deal on an auto mini - #6150 (Legal to own here - illegal to carry in some cities.). Oddly, they still had 610's & 615's in stock earlier this week - ~$170-$190. Anyway, here are my 'trio' of the Rukus family:
While I appreciate my wife's presents, the 6150 realistically is a display case or drawer sitter. It has a bit of recoil upon deploying it, too. Interesting, but not my most useful knife. Love the other two - great knives, equally useful. although different missions.
