I know I will probably get murdered for posting this but I am so impressed with this blade. For less than $25 I bought a Ruike p121 after watching a YT video. Everything about this knife screams attention to detail. The detent is PERFECT- it flips better than knives I have spent 10 times as much on. The grind lines are even too! I will have to follow up after I have carried it for a while and give a full report.

That the work of using modern knife production methods.
It's the consistency in the replication.
Enjoy the knife!
 
I like the handle ALOT. The blade is too thick in the middle and too bowie tip for my liking.
Over all the knife is a great looker and I enjoy looking at it.
We won't talk about the poor suckers making it who are paid so poorly they can't afford flip flops . . .
I won't be buying it in any case (I have one more knife to buy and then no more ever again) but I am enjoying looking.
 
And its good lookin' to boot. What do you think does it give the RAT folders and the Kershaw Emersons a run for their money? They are some of the best budget folders in that price range.
 
Honestly- I will wait until I carry it for a minute before I come to any conclusions. But, the first impression I would say yes it is better. More carry friendly than the big Rat 1.
 
i have one of their large slipjoints. Very nice knife for being under $30. Came very sharp and has a pocket clip.
 
I really like my 14C28N blades from Real Steel. Reminds me of well done Aeb L. It is good stuff.
This company looks like it is definitely worth trying out!

I guess the poor underpaid people that work for Kershaw, CRKT, Cold steel, Spyderco and of course your Apple Iphone. is okay because the profits go to American companies. Most of these companies learned how to make good knives for us, these are the same factories. If you don't want to spend the money on a decent knife for not too much money we don't have too many choices.

Great Knives I have 3, the action on them is really good out of the box and they just feel like quality. for the price they are great.
 
I just got a Ruike P801-SF and I am very impressed with it.
Everything about it is spot on,
great fit and finish, excellent action, and it doesn’t look like a cheap knife.

What really excited me the most though is that the blade is nice and thin behind the edge and this baby cuts well without me having to grind away at it on my Nubatama 220.
Also the 14c28n is great steel for a 30 dollar knife.

I rarely carry flippers but I’ll give this a try for my weekend/ after work carry.
 
Hell yes. I've drank the Kool-aid before and been very disappointed in budget knives, but my P801 is insanely nice for the price. Great action, balance, and grind. Thin deep carry with great egos and a decent steel. What's not to like?

Great looking knife. 14c28n is a great steel at that price point. I my have to pick one up
