Aaaaand, those are sweet! Never handled a Rukus, they do look comfortable to hold.

The Rukus is comfortable to use. Pretty big for a pocket knife, but jeans hold it well.

I've been trying to find the winewood scales from Benchmade, but they are scarce. They would look nice on a black-bladed model.

Does anyone know when Benchmade stopped using the Blackwood logo on the Rukus. My First Production Run, which I got in 2006, has one. But my others don't.

Have a mini Rukus. Very handsome knife and as big as I want to carry in my pocket or waistband.
Good looking knives Twindog.
Did Neil Blackwood retire? Used to carry my mini Skirmish a lot.

I don't think Neil Blackwood retired. Benchmade licensed his Henchman design, but for some reason the company stopped printing his logo on the blade sometime into the run of Rukus knives.

The mini Rukus is pretty cool, too. Really a normal to slightly large EDC. The 610 just has the heft and size to do some serious work.

Love the Rukus, one of my top five favorite BM's and the Mini has some of the best ergo's of any knife I've owned. Feels great in hand.

Gorgeous, Keyman. I've been wanting to see how black scales with a black blade looks on this knife.

I stumbled upon a NIB set of those at a local gun store a few months ago and felt pretty lucky.

Some very nice Rukusses. While I love everything about my 610 Blackwoods it's the 615 that really hits the sweet spot for EDC. That being said it's so nice I end up carrying my 615SBK.
