Long, hard, hot, day at work today. Celebrating the leap into two days off with a Rocky Patel and my Sebenza 21. Watching the rain.

What knife is that Keyman?

Rike knife, a ball bearing titanium frame lock flipperwith D2 steel.

I dont care that there chinese, I love the looks of those Rike's. Especially the blue one with the blackwashed blade.

Me too.

How long have you had it?

3 days

How do you like it?

It's pretty darn nice really, fit and finish is good, it's got good lock up, the bearing are super smooth, it's very easy to open via the flipper or the thumb hole.
The detent is not quite as hard as my ZT's; but not as easy as my Hinderer.
All of the screws on this were slightly loose when it first got here.
It opened and closed with somewhat of a rickety feeling to it.
That was not very reassuring.
So, I checked.....and tightened.....every screw.
Now it feels very solid.
I would not consider this to be overbuilt like a ZT or a Hinderer would be.
However, the lock up is definitely solid and I have no fear of the knife being unsafe in anyway.

Any problems?

Just the loose screws. But, that could have happened in shipping.

^^ Cool beans, never heard of rike before. I'm looking for smething with flipper plus stud/holes and this fits my checklist.
