The large/Full sized RUKUS actually has a 4.25" blade, but with a lot of reach.

YES - The Full size RUKUS really is a BIG knife for a folder.

There is a smaller RUKUS. Maybe you looked at the smaller one.

When open, the large RUKUS is VERY close to the same size as a Dumpster Mutt - The RUKUS is actually slightly larger than the DM!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

The handle on the RUKUS is a lot larger than the DM's and with a larger guard on the RUKUS, but the RUKUS doesn't have a choil.

With the DM having a choil, the actual cutting edges are almost the same length.




I have been hacking on my RUKUS, so don't mind the hack marks - it is still a work in process. I only take a little off at a time to make sure I get it right. I can't easily put back what comes off.

But, I carry my RUKUS a lot and trying to slim down the handle while maintaining the blade - I wish the blade were plain edge and satin. I might buy another some day and exchange the blades.
