Any Rike 1508S owners

[Bladegunner]

If so how do you like this integral flipper, the blade steel, length and style is right in my wheel house I would just like to hear from a few owners what there impressions of the knife are. My current EDC is a Shiro Neon in S90V and it is pretty much a perfect knife in every way. I would like something comparable to change up the carry rotation. Thanks.

I'm actually in the same boat as you man. I carry a Neon in M390 often when I'm not at work. The 1508 speaks to me, too. If you haven't watched it yet, you should check out EpicSnuggleBunny's review of the knife; it's one of the better reviews out there.

I feel it would be a great option to give your Neon a break. Similar blade size, weight, overall length, and it's flat ground which is a huge plus.

On a side note and somewhat related, I just got a WE Knife Co 704 in carbon fiber. I'm blown away. It feels like...are you ready?...a Shiro. Yep, it's a good one. Not as smooth as those immaculate roller bearings, but damn close. It's so light too...disappears in the pocket and the hand.

Anyways, keep the thread going. I'd like to hear if you find one and how you feel about it.

Best,
Robert.

Robert, I have see the ESB's review of the knife your right it is a excellent review. I think I am going to order the 1508 just as soon as I sell a gun or save the money (Wife is threatening to take my CC) I have looked at the WE knifes and was going to pull the trigger on one but eventually backed down. I also really like the Reate Future but just to big for me to EDC at 3.75" Wish they would make a smaller version of the Future at 3.25" blade length.
