picked one up today for 100 at my local B&M BNIB
first i will state that this is a very nice sheeple type knife that does not have a clip, yet it does have a sheath with a clip
it uses S30V steel and i havent used it yet considering keeping this new in box as a collector since it is a first production.
it uses the nac lock witch is alot like spydercos compression lock witch is a neet idea IMO.
the blade shape is nice with a great little hollow grind and a very thin blade should be a great little cutter, yet i dont think it will be any type of prybar!
it is a very slick looking knife that should carry very comfortable in a pocket or in the sheath
the fake? wood and the micarta hadles look very nice and for such a small knife it fits the hand very well

on a side not i know where you can get a First production blackwood ruckus 610/15 for a good price PM me if interested. i bought this knife over one of those two and i dont wanna have to get one of them too

Good review and a good deal. Actually, the black portions of the handle are G10.

thanks chang i went back and looked after i got off here last nite, the wood on it is also stablized winewood

One thing that really surprised me about this knife is just how very thin the blade is toward the tip! I've personally never seen a knife go that thin. Super slicer, but that's what makes this definitely a "gentleman's folder." You can EDC this, but it seems a little bit iffy in my opinion. But a very cool knife.

Another thing that surprised me but really shouldn't have (since it is listed in the specs), is the light weight. This is an ultra lightweight knife! It's almost like holding a fat piece of cardboard.
It is a high quality item, but some may like such a light weight, some may not.

yes it is very much so a gents knife, i bought it to carry or collect i havent decided yet as i havent moved to a bigger city quite yet, when i move a nice little knife may be what i need, for bigger uses the 760 is has plenty of meat

Nice review, I too, like mine. It is a beaut, great gents type knife.

Me too thinks its a fine knife, wish I could handle a 81 cf one, I wonder if its as thin as the reg 480( handles I mean)I wish BM would make some cf that we could afford.

I handled one and it didnt feel any thicker and it just looked sweet!

This is a really nice knife, does that say you got it for $100? Thats a really great deal

G-10 and micarta can be the same thing, or are the same thing. lemme pull up a reference.
