For Benchmade Knife fans.

I was at my local LGS today and was poking around a little. Looked in the Benchmade Knife display and saw theses two beauties among many others.

They are both Mini-Rukus automatics. They have been in lockup for many years so I asked to look at them. Took 20 minutes to find the keys, but when they did I had these in my hand. Took them both out the door for $260.00. If you know Benchmades, that is a true bargain.

Kind of sucks that there were price stickers on the blades. Left a mark on the black blade. I can live with it.

Now if I can only find a full size Rukus Auto.....

Good deal.
Love the Axis lock.

Nice indeed and for two the price not bad. Heard Benchmade is the way to go.

Go try and wear those two out. Good purchase

Bought my first Benchmade a couple weeks ago to replace my cheapo WM EDC. The Benchmade is so nice, I can't bring myself to carry it.

Those are beauties!

I have never worn out a knife, but, I have sure lost a bunch of them.

I've worn out a couple and lost a few. Well, I've lost more than a few. Those knives were a great buy.

CARRY IT

My wife was with me and pushed me really hard to buy it. A couple days later, I'm about to leave the house and she says, "Show me your knife". I still have the old WM knife in my pocket.

She says, "Gimmi that thing, it's going in the trash".

Yeah, she's a keeper.

I bought a Benchmade auto back in 2003. It was expensive back then, but I carried it in Kosovo and in Afghanistan and ever since I got back to the States.

Carry it!!

Karnivore, try some nail polish remover.

Nice purchase. The axis lock is strong, but I shy away from Benchmades because the lock time is slow. Piranah, microtech, and dollar for dollar the Boker Kalasnikov knives cannot be beat for 30 dollars, for EDC. You would think for 30, you would get junk. Sharp and super fast. Autos of course

Congratulations,nice knives.

From what I see in the photo, I'm guessing the black may have faded from being in the light for so long. If so, there's probably no way to fix it other than leaving it out in the sun a couple years with the price sticker removed.

Update on the sticker mark. Got it off with gun oil, a wash cloth (wife does not know) and elbow grease.

Thanks for the replies and likes!
