The Benchmade 9600SBK Rukus II Automatic is based off of Benchmade’s original Rukus design that was discontinued years ago. The Rukus II brings a different take on that tactical masterpiece with Benchmade’s world class push-button automatic mechanism. This tactical auto features outstanding opening action with a front loaded push button and a sliding spine safety. The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles have a diagonal milled texture for a high performance grip. The drop point style blade (Partially Serrated Edge)) is CPM-s30V steel with a black finish. A reversible tip-up pocket clip rounds out this versatile tactical design.
CPM-S30V Steel: Chris Reeve is famous for developing two steels directly with Crucible Industries, and boy did this partnership result in an awesome product. S30V is, in many eyes, the ultimate EDC steel. Exhibiting very good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, S30V is utilized by a variety of makers for its performance and balance. CPM-S30V has become one of the most used premium steels on the market among knife manufacturers. If you are looking for a high end stainless steel knife that will keep an edge, that will be durable, and will resist corrosion–definitely consider one made with a CPM-S30V blade.
