protech godson or BM ruckus

Post by Jester King »

ok i've narrowed down my decison to either the protech godson or the BM mini ruckus, they are about the same price, and i would like to know what would be better for an every day user, what is tougher and would last longest, one that i could really rely on and what is the overall better knife outta the 2.

thank you

I own 4 Benchmades and 2 Protechs. I do not have a Ruckus but do have a Godson. Both companies make a quality product imho. The blade design of the Godson does not, to me, seem suited to everyday chores. I think it is too pointy and would be in danger of breaking.

Try the SOG TAC,. It's built like a tank, very usable blade (AUS8 steel) reasonably priced, around $100.00-120.00 and I love mine. Pro-Techs are great knives and Benchmades ain't what they used to be, but they're still good knives.
How about a Leverletto? Probably the best made knife out there for under a hundred. Fast fire, nice sharp blade, definitely the best constructed knife coming out of Italy (in my humble, newb opinion).
Steel strings and steel springs...what could be better?

ok talking about the protech, it has a tanto blade and i was wondering how sharp it is, because i have a bear bali with a tanto blade ( http://www.bladehq.com/item--114A-Bear-Cutlery--663 ), and this thing is soooooooooo dull, its been dull since i bought it, and i was wondering if its just a thing with tanto style blades or just that knife, because i really like that tr1 from protech, but i would also like a nice sharp blade

thank you
