Saw some great reviews on this knife and said what the heck. I've spent $30 on stupider stuff than this. Anyway, its a Ruike model 801. All stone-washed steel construction, flipper with frame lock, sharpening choil, and built like a tank. As thin or thinner than my Benchmade 943, which was a concern as I like my EDC on the thin side. Clip is strong, but a bit smaller than what I'm used to. (Carried the BM943 for years, without a break.). Also I just found out these Ruike knives have a caged ball bearing on each side of the pivot. another nice touch that really adds to the smoothness when it flips open. My Benchmade 943 has flat brass washers...no bearing Anyway..Enjoy!
Looks like a nice knife for $30. How’s the steel on it? Also you can send that benchmade back and they will put a new blade on it for $30 I think.
Looks like Sandvik 14c28n Sandvik 14C28N® — Sandvik Materials Technology Yea, I probably will send the 943 back into Benchmade for another blade. This will be my 3rd S30V blade. Not impressed.
