Short comments on my new Mini Rukus by BenchMade

I have to have a mini rukus. Which dealers have them? I can't seem to find one.

Yeah the tactical edge like on Emerson knives does very little for me sometimes. They are quite strong but without sufficient leverage sometimes that does very little for you. I had my CQC14 on me the other day when I was feeding the dogs. I had one dog treat left between two dogs. One is a Saint Bernard the other a Great Pyrenees and they looked at me weird when I finally gave them each half a raw hide chew because they are used to much more.

Anyway, I had to cut this thing in half right because it was all I had until my next grocery trip. Try as I might with that 14 it just would not go through it. I walked in and grabbed my handmade flatground D2 folder out of the safe that I did as a prototype for Sal when I submitted it to him and cut right through it with little effort at all. There is something to be said about a nice thin profile and a good sharp blade.

What would think about flatgrinding that CQC 13 to thin it out?
 
I would not try that on a blade. It would heat up too much and probably ruin the edge holding no matter how slow I tried to take it.

Sounds right, I just have got used to the cutting abilities of the thinner grinds. I still love that knife you made, that is the most impressive framelock I have seen. I would have no qualms using that knife for very heavy duty work. I also have a soft spot for Emersons since my first pocket knife was a CQC-7 that was stolen, but I have just soured on liner locks in general and the thickness of some of Ernie's grinds, but the 13 is my favorite blade shape that I have seen from the CQC line. Not to mention, Emerson's knives fit my hands like a glove, like they were built specifically for me. He really has the ergonomics down to a science.
