9600 Ruckus II

1daven

I just came across this. I've long wondered how the original Ruckus and Mini-Ruckus got discontinued, given their obvious popularity.

It really is a great knife and value, IMO. Built like a tank, every bit as tough as an AFO, w/ a cooler style..I am a little bias, I love and carried a 615 for years..

This was $150 to my door...didn't see price point for the exclusive..The HK and HD versions have 154cm ( very happy w/ that) the "new" BM branded looks to have S30V ( I would have paid premium for M4..if there ever was an appropriate folder for M4...this would have been it...a limited, in the future perhaps?...We will take up that crusade after the AFCK II, mayhaps.)

I'm glad BM and the distributor embraced this undervalued, most excellent model.

Kinda wish the blade to handle ratio was better.

What is the first model of these aluminum mini Rukus style autos to be produced..?

Was it the HD Non-Conformist..or was there a BM branded version prior?

It was the Harley 13800. That was the first version to hit the market in an aluminum push button auto.
