I got to play with an Auto Mini-Rukus this evening!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I was in love until I heard the price... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> $200+

It even has a special lock on it, that locks it open. I was very impressed.

Nice RW.

I love the Axis Lock and BMs Auto Axis is the best type of Auto there is.

I particularly don't like the Mini Rukus. Too much handle on a small blade. I would like to see BM do a Full Auto Rukus, but that would be fairly impractical. Then again, I like being impractical. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I really like the H&K Autos from Benchmade. They are really sweet minus the 154cm steel, though. I love playing with the AutoAxis. Coil fired auto, very strong kick compared to most automatic knives.

There is a lot of handle and weight to the Auto Mini Rukus. It's built like a tank though.

I may have to go back and looks some more, and see what other autos and stuff they have. The shop is a military and police shop so most of the stuff was pretty high end, a lot of Benchmades. I only had 10 minutes before they closed so I didn't get to look at much.

what don't you like about 154cm?

Not to get to far off the subject guys, but I did manage to get in on the nwsar5 from busse knives. I sent my e-mails to both e-mail addresses that was given, but I've yet to hear a word from anyone. I known this is how they do business, but I think that I like the way you can order from scrap yard. You click on the item ordered, you make your payment, and you get an acknowledgement from scrapyard. With the busse order, I'm not sure if I did get one of the knives or not. How long does it usually take to hear from them. And I usually carry a spyderco endura or a benchmade folder when I leave home.

Busse Combat has a company store also, and I like to keep an eye on it. Jerry distributes his blades through the ganzaa's and the company store, http://bussecompanystore.com

Busse combat is shut down for a week to try to get rid of some flu bug everybody got at knob creek.

I think Jerry said the email notifications would go out when they got back after the 21st.

Unless Jerry is still disinfecting the place with Johnny Walker Blue... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I guess I could hate the Mini Auto-Rukus 'cuz I accidentally cut myself when I first played with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

But you should go back and check out the Auto Axis HKs, if they have any. I really wish BM would make more Auto Axis knives. They have the HKs, but they are rather bulky. The Auto Presidios are there but I don't like the design. The Auto Mini-Rukus, well... I already said why I didn't like it.

Before the Nitrous Strykers came out, there was talk about it being an Auto-Axis. GRRRRRRR!!! I wish the new strykers were Autos!!!!


Remember by Griptilian. Well, I guess I can't say I really hate it. Cloak's ZT0200 has really changed my mind about 154cm. It's an odd steel to me because I don't have too much experience with it.

I'm guessing it's either the HT or the Grind on the Grip that caused the failure. Maybe the 154cm on the HKs have a better HT. I'm still inclined to getting one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

ive heard of HK autos breaking tips like nothin

and i have heard about benchmaades autos springs fail easily

I know its not the same kind of spring but the spring broke in my infidel. They fixed it for free and I didn't even end up paying any shipping. I baught it where I get most of my guns so he might have ate the shipping cost. I love the knife but at the same time I'll admit that its so thin overall and at the edge that its useless for cutting anything but soft tissue.
