I don't think the mini skirmish is any nicer. They are just different. Both equally nice. The 710 is an axis lock and the skirmish is a framelock. They are both equally nice imo. the 710 is more fun to play with.
I think so, but I very much dislike the feel of the Zytel handles on the Grips. I also think that the slight recurve on the 710 comes in useful in cutting. It give a little extra leverage. I say yes, but it depends what you like. Practically there isn't much difference.
Is it a Benchmade 710 with M2 steel BK1 coating on it? ginshun would you tell me why you prefer M2 steel? What's the difference between M2 and D2 in edgeholding?
M2 takes a finer edge and holds it better. I beleive that M2 also has the edge in toughness.
D2 is a great steel, M2 is just all around better IMO though. The only thing that D2 has the edge in is corrosion resistance, and its not really that great in that.
The normal Rukus is quite a bit bigger and thicker. The Rukus Jr. or whatever they call the smaller one has about the same length blade, but is still quite a bit thicker. They are both awesome knives, but I still prefer the 710, especially in with the M2 blade steel.
On their website they have something called "Knife Wizard" where you can enter the length of the blade etc. of the knife you want and it will try and find matches.

I carry the 940 because I prefer the heavier blade. Either way, you gotta love that axis lock.

Nice Review
Bought one few days ago. Wow this is a BIG knife.
Feel guilty to carry such a big thing although the law allows it (im from Germany).
Its so smooth you have to handle one to belive.
But the thumbstud is to close to the handle imho .I miss sometimes to open it in the first draw. But thats just me.

Nice, I gotta get me an axis lock Benchmade and it might be that one since it looks like the largest one they make.
