I cannot say why I did not get the Benchmade bug years ago. If I had, I would have bought a whole bunch of Rukus already, perhaps even at decent "street" prices. Homey wants at least one of each size, plain and satin preferred. If I only get one, I want a 615. Serrations are just not my thing. Email especially preferred. I think I have enabled email in my profile.

Yes, I confess, I want to put some pristine examples in the safe to leave to some favored relatives. I even confess that I could be moved to sell them at inflated prices to keep from having to share dog food with my critters when I get older and poorer. But I also want at least one 615 and maybe also a 610 to EDC. Really. But wait, there is more. I am a small time woodworker and I think a Rukus would look oh so nice with some scales made from my cocobolo stash.

*edit: please advise if I should post this somewhere else instead of here, chit chat or whatever. Thanks.

Thanks, Carson. I understand that I do need a little luck here.

Thanks, TCM. PM replied to.

Anyone out there into bicycling? I have lots of old school bicycle parts for trading; frames, wheel sets, brakes, seat posts, lots of stuff, a couple of Rivendell frames, a Trek Y-Foil frame even.

Unable to find your email address, sending pm.

Shiny, but too new school for me, laser.

Thanks everyone. I will respond to PMs after I get a little lunch. If anyone needs cash right away, paypal may be my only option. The first week or so of the new year (it is soon!) I will be able to avoid paypal if necessary.

Be very, very careful....

Someone claiming to be the Benchmade Police will soon be all over your a$$ for your "illegal" photo....

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. If this cold does not kill me first, I will get a few replies out this evening.

I have shipping confirmation for three 615 Mini-Rukus; one user from a fellow fan here, and thanks to a hot tip from another fellow here I have two NIB, numbered even and discounted too, 615 coming a couple of dealers.

I am still in the market for a couple of 610 and probably a couple of more 615 too.
