A favorite knife brand for me. At one point I owned just about every model they make. I sadly had to sell all but six before I moved to Cambodia. But I am slowly building my collection again. Ruike has released some newer models, maybe over the past year or less. Hopefully they Keep bringing on the heat for this year.

I have a couple of knives which Ruike manufactured for Boker. The build quality is very good.
This is the only one I have a picture of:

The P831S-SA is my favorite Deka and Bugout sized EDC blade. Don’t have a Bugout any longer because of quality issues. The Deka needed after market titanium scales for me to truly like it, and it’s a gem now. The Ruike doesn’t seem to get much attention, a sleeper I guess. For $45 it’s fantastic.

I don't understand why people compare knives in budget steel with relatively soft heat treatment to knives like the Bugout and Deka.

Just wanted to let anyone who is looking for a really good slim, medium sized EDC blade, but doesn’t want to spend Deka and Bugout money, Ruike makes a great budget alternative knife with really good 14C28N steel and fantastic action.

If I was to compare quality, BM loses over the Ruike in my personal experience. My Bugout was off center and the Axis lock was so gritty it felt like it landed in a sandbox. If I was to compare value, the Deka needed new scales to feel like a knife costing over $50. Maybe I’m alone in thinking that the Deka scales are flimsy and cheap feeling, so be it. Don’t feel like I was comparing anything in my OP. Just offering a really good budget alternative in that size and thin profile.
