I got my Hussar sort of by accident. It was part of a package deal with the 801 I wanted so badly. But after I carried it ONE time, it became an EDC mainstay, for all the reasons you mention. I get to carry a LOT of blade, in a discreet deep-carry package, made from good steel that takes and keeps a great edge, deploys as smooth as butter, and is supremely useful for everything from food prep to cardboard killing, all with a handle that fills my hand and is warm to the touch. And in the deal, I paid about $25 for all that knifey goodness. I was already resistant to the prices Kershaw and CRKT were asking for their 8Cr13MoV knives, but once I got my first Ruikes, it was a WRAP.
After almost 2 years, I still feel this knife is viable and still represents a great value. As a lefty it’s particularly more difficult to find knives that are truly a one-handed operation. Therefore I favor frame locks and spine locks. I may have just lucked out, but the action on my 121-b is incredible with zero play and the detent is stronger than the piece you reviewed. My only complaint, and this is more of a complaint for the company’s entire line, is the blade length. Because of work requirements I could never get away with carrying this knife and so the dragonfly is still the knife in my pocket. If requirements allowed though, this would be the knife I carry, and for under $40, I don’t mind it taking the abuse of daily wear.
For the price the build quality and design is pretty darned awesome. I build knives as a hobby, and when I picked this thing up for about $35, and decided to bring out the “full potential” of it. I changed the grind profile and made it into a mirror polished “zero grind” (completely shave ready) and made some very slim, sexy burl wood scales. It’s so silky smooth, and easy to carry and often gets mistaken for a very high end gentleman’s knife. I love this thing more than almost any other folder I own.
Hazin The name is based on Mandarin Pinyin and “rui” is pronounced as “rway,” hence why Ruike is pronounced like “rake.” Personally, I really wish Chinese companies would stop doing that and just choose an English name or another phonetic spelling similar to that of Yale Pinyin, so most non-Mandarin speakers can actually pronounce it properly and not freaking butcher the name.
In Texas they call this knife The Little Hussy! Well built, a little skelitazation in the closet, deploys rapidly, at a low price, $35.00, and she will do whatever you ask of her! Like my first girl friend...
Tried this in the store today, exactly as you said except I found the top lines of the handle were hot spots too. I really like this steel, easy to fix if need be. Perhaps though ruike needs some work on their hardness in heat treatment as it's a little softer than it should be. It basically comes blunt and just like another reviewer said, it needs a bevel angle change.
The Ruike line of knives have been an Amazon staple for quite some time. Nick, unbelievable foresight on the Wally World quote about if they were ever to be picked up by the Big blue giant. Bye bye 👋 to Kershaw, CRKT and Gerber
Hey Nick, have you done a review of that Ruike P 108 sf that you showed briefly at the beginning? If not, please do. Really like the look of it and want to know your thoughts.
I've been carrying the green one for 10 months. Such a great knife for the price, love it. I didn't know Ruike is made by Sanrenmu. I have over 30 Sanrenmu knives. Their 7010/710 is my favorite, I have every flavor of it. Thanks
I bought a Hussar for myself a while back and came upon a situation where I had to pick one of my knives to give away to someone who lives in a humid area. I picked this one.
If english speaking folks can understand and accept that Jose is actually pronounced as “Ho-say”, I don’t see a problem in understanding Ruike being pronounced as “Rake”
I gotta say that I have owned 4 different Ruike knives and have loved them all so far, they have also been the easiest knives for me to sell to other people since they look and feel great, but only cost ~40 dollars.
Nick, I love your videos. When you do size comparisons, could you include a standard (91mm) Swiss Army Knife please? For those of us who live in nanny states (UK in my case), owning locking knives is rare, but I’d bet that wherever you live, anyone with even a passing interest in knives will own, or have owned at least one standard SAK.
Hi Nick my name is Chris I watch a lot of your videos. Today I was at a swap meet in Ontario California and I picked up a Cleaver assisted knife made in China just says stainless steel on it this is the second and identical one that I've gotten and I got it for $10. I haven't seen many companies do Cleaver assisted knives and I'm wondering why there's not a lot of people I know that even care about knives or anybody I can really talk to it all about them and I know that your opinions are probably the best. Thanks for all your videos you're the man
I’ve been really liking some of the stuff coming out of the Chinese brands. I have this model with the OD green scales and I love it. Very high value for the money. I would love to pay $5-$10 more for one with a D2 blade. Also, if they came out with a 3” model I would have to have it also.
11:06 Yo Nick, it's a good point that it's really easy to make things overseas with the labor costs and whatnot, but...don't Kershaw and friends also have overseas factories and ship products over here to sell? Lol.
Absolutely. Yet, somehow, Kershaw's American factory knives wind up feeling like better value. I've often wondered whether it's different factories that differentiate CRKT and Ruike quality, or they're charged different rates, or they're just targeting lower costs for a $35 knife.
Honestly, Nick, I hate to say this, but the difference in quality might just be because American companies are charging more for the same stuff. The Chinese knife makers know that they're coming back from a sort of reputation deficit due to stuff like Z-Hunter, so they're probably at the stage where they just wanna get back into the serious market before really making big bucks. The American guys, though, they're well on the way of getting filthy rich, and don't have the same kind of consideration.
Okay, jokes about Ruike's, umm, interesting Romanization of its name aside and someone needing to tell Nick that there are really three ways to pronounce "Hussar" and he's not close to any of them, one thing I've NOT noticed in comments--maybe Nick noticed it, honestly--is that this knife struck me as very much the Boker Kwaiken done right, as far as functionality. I doubt that's by design, but the Ruike Hussar offers a lot of the same thing. I have both knives and find myself comparing them a surprising amount. You get squared off handles, an upswept blade, a thin up-and-down profile, it's a bit thick side-to-side and heavy but that seems to be by design, it's fairly long and slender, etc. But the nitpicks that a lot of people had with the Kwaiken like the flipper tab and blade being too upswept and honestly being a little too thick and heavy for the design seem to be what Ruike really did a better job on. Boker also has a bit of a taller hollow grind and I'm sure people have complained about the Hussar's blade tang not being nested in the scales while folded (not a big deal to me personally), but the Hussar will bust down cardboard just as well. Glad I got mine!
Got mine today from BladeHQ & I love it. Not sure if I got an updated one or not cause there seems to be a logo of some sort on the blade. It looks cool, so I really dont care. The centering, detent, and build quality are all what I was expecting and hoping for. Time and use will tell if she holds up or craps out, so we'll see. Thanks for the review Nick, its what sold me on it.
@@CatsNBlades Great! Its still in rotation and sees use often. I did sharpen it a few times and it took a polished edge no problem. Im sure you'll be very happy with it.
They actually do make higher end premium material/titanium knives. Yes, they’re also very good, and though priced very well, the satisfying perception of value isn’t quite as strong as these great ultra budget versions.
It's incredible to get a full size blade at such a great price. This one actually fills the hand. I hope to see them up their materials. Do you think they will ever make a $100 knife?
I don't know. I suspect so, although they might have a different brand. Real Steel makes higher priced pieces. But frankly, we don't need more good $100 pieces. We need more good $35 pieces.
Another thing that crkt/kershaw have is they have knives under 3"/2.5". Those length limits plague larger cities here in the US. If these chinese makers ever start making knives in that size...
I saw they are mostly d2. I have no problem with that and at $40, if they have good actions, seems like good value. I'm not interested in their $200 knives. Not taking that chance.

I really want to like Ruike for what they do (make inexpensive quality knives). I just can't, though...They have never even made an attempt to cater to left handed people. None of their offerings have reversible pocket clips, and some models even have right only thumb studs. Look at the P831-SF as an example. I thought that was a thing of the past. Not cool, IMO. (hashtag)LeftRights. Kizer actually made a left handed Laconico for $170. And Chris Reeve makes left handed versions of their models for the same prices as is usual for them; over $400. That's cool. But above my comfortable price range. I love my Spyderco chaparral, though. :D
Hi Nick. In terms of the name, I guess the reason might be that "Ruike" is the Pinyin (official romanization system for Mandarin, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin ) of their Chinese name 锐克 (ruì kè - pinyin of 锐克). In the meantime, the pronunciation of "Rake" is just same as how you speak 锐克 (ruì kè) in Chinese. Therefore they might not have any plan to change it. Nonetheless, This is just my guess of the reason.
Thank you for the honest evaluation of the Rake knife, I mean Rauike knife, its a good knife and a lot of times you nitpick the lower end knives totally apartment.
This knife cut me while it was fully closed. The tip rests close enough to the edge of the handle to slice you if the side of your finger reaches between the scales. Put a nice slice in the side of my thumb reaching to take it out of my pocket. I still really like it.
So I looked it up, Ruike and Rike are two totally different Chinese knife companies with the exact same name in Chinese. Ruike is a mid level brand created by Sanrenmu in 1998 along with budget Land knives. In 2013 they created a high end brand Real Steel. Sanrenmu makes knives for Boker, my guess is they srarted Ruike to sell internationally under their own brand, and later created Real Steel specifically for the US market.
I dunno how you researched, but as far as I know Ruike is 锐可(which sounds pretty retarded to an actual Chinese guy such as myself) while Rike doesn't even have a Chinese name. The thing about these Chinese knife companies is that China, out of all the countries with citizens who can financially afford to dab in EDC, has by far the most insane regulations against "weapons". So as a result, most of the folks making knives in China actually have most of their customers here in the States.They export such a huge portion of their products that they don't even need a brand name in Chinese.
Glad for the explanation and the attempt to break the habit of mispronouncing the name. While I know we live in a society that requires a jar of nuts for sale to be labeled "Product contains nuts", but translations from different languages often have unusual spellings and pronunciations and english speaking people should learn and recognize this fact and be respectful of it. As an aside regarding American budget knives vs Chinese or other overseas company budget lines, I often wonder about the price of the collaboration with custom knife makers. I know that Fraxion is a cheap way to get an Anso design, but how much less would it cost if it were designed in house? With companies like CRKT only doing collaborations, how much is that driving up the cost over in house design knives? Just as in Kizer's collection, the collaborations often sell at a much higher price point than the in house designs do. Kershaw can sell alot of 8cr13mov crap at $15-$20, but slap a well known maker's name on it and bang, it's $35 for the same crap. If American companies wish to compete at that level, maybe it's time to hire some decent in house designers that allow them to upgrade materials and quality without upping the price.
I got my Hussar sort of by accident. It was part of a package deal with the 801 I wanted so badly. But after I carried it ONE time, it became an EDC mainstay, for all the reasons you mention. I get to carry a LOT of blade, in a discreet deep-carry package, made from good steel that takes and keeps a great edge, deploys as smooth as butter, and is supremely useful for everything from food prep to cardboard killing, all with a handle that fills my hand and is warm to the touch. And in the deal, I paid about $25 for all that knifey goodness. I was already resistant to the prices Kershaw and CRKT were asking for their 8Cr13MoV knives, but once I got my first Ruikes, it was a WRAP.

Where did you get the deal from?
It was just a deal I happened upon on EBay, from a seller with whom I had done business before.
Yep I’m amazed at the quality of these knives.
Nothing competes with them at this price.
After almost 2 years, I still feel this knife is viable and still represents a great value. As a lefty it’s particularly more difficult to find knives that are truly a one-handed operation.

Ruike Real Steel and Steel Will are making much better knives then the competition in the under $50 price point
For the price the build quality and design is pretty darned awesome.
I build knives as a hobby, and when I picked this thing up for about $35, and decided to bring out the “full potential” of it.
I changed the grind profile and made it into a mirror polished “zero grind” (completely shave ready) and made some very slim, sexy burl wood scales.
It’s so silky smooth, and easy to carry and often gets mistaken for a very high end gentleman’s knife.
I love this thing more than almost any other folder I own.
Snuike is actually pronounced snake
Fuike is fake
Buike is bake
I go fishing in a luike

Thank you for getting the name correct, multiple times! :D
Sure thing Birdshot Eye-Vee!
The Ruike line of knives have been an Amazon staple for quite some time. Nick, unbelievable foresight on the Wally World quote about if they were ever to be picked up by the Big blue giant. Bye bye 👋 to Kershaw, CRKT and Gerber
It finally arrived! Love it! Thanks, Nick!
Hey Nick, have you done a review of that Ruike P 108 sf that you showed briefly at the beginning? If not, please do. Really like the look of it and want to know your thoughts.
I think the serial numbers are on there because they are fine-tuning their process and trying to learn where the problem areas are.
I've been carrying the green one for 10 months. Such a great knife for the price, love it. I didn't know Ruike is made by Sanrenmu. I have over 30 Sanrenmu knives. Their 7010/710 is my favorite, I have every flavor of it. Thanks
I bought a Hussar for myself a while back and came upon a situation where I had to pick one of my knives to give away to someone who lives in a humid area. I picked this one.
Nickster , are you gonna do a best budget knife of 2018? and do you like tradational knives? like GEC or Case?
Is the review of the p108 coming soon?
Screws in the slicing path? The pocket clip must double as a seatbelt cutter then, eh?
Hi Nick great vid as usual:-) I have had mine for about a year and it is awesome no issues never fails at any task.
I've always enjoyed Sanrenmu knives. And with Ruike, Sanrenmu just continues to impress me.
If english speaking folks can understand and accept that Jose is actually pronounced as “Ho-say”, I don’t see a problem in understanding Ruike being pronounced as “Rake”
And btw for the guy down below saying Snuike: the actual pronunciation is actually more like “Ru-ay-ke” nat yo snuayke
I gotta say that I have owned 4 different Ruike knives and have loved them all so far, they have also been the easiest knives for me to sell to other people since they look and feel great, but only cost ~40 dollars.
Anybody's thoughts on the Klecker Cordovan?
Ordered mine a couple of hours ago :)

imagine having a swiss army knife in every video to take care of something you can solve much better by googling
how does the value and action compare to a civivi?
I know this comment was awhile ago but I prefer the Ruike a little bit over my Civivi. But overall damn near the same.
I enjoy watching your reviews. They are short. No BS. Straight to the point. Love that. Other youtubers could learn that from you...

Honestly for an edc I want 14c over d2.
Only pro d2 has over it is edge retention. Durability and corrosive resistance d2 doesn't even come close.
11:06 Yo Nick, it's a good point that it's really easy to make things overseas with the labor costs and whatnot, but...don't Kershaw and friends also have overseas factories and ship products over here to sell? Lol.
I Need You I was thinking the same thing lol the kershaw in hand was made in China lol
They do. They just don't do shit for quality control, even though the factories are capable of it.
They sure do.
Absolutely. Yet, somehow, Kershaw's American factory knives wind up feeling like better value. I've often wondered whether it's different factories that differentiate CRKT and Ruike quality, or they're charged different rates, or they're just targeting lower costs for a $35 knife.

For everyone who's wondering, the way you read Ruike, or 锐可, sounds like "rake" /rāk/. Other than that, good review as always, Nick.

@@CatsNBlades Great! Its still in rotation and sees use often. I did sharpen it a few times and it took a polished edge no problem. Im sure you'll be very happy with it.
@@NativeTexMexican thank u!!
I love this knife, the premium version is also fantastic.
So what would it be like if Ruike made a high-end knife, for $150, or $250 or something?
They actually do make higher end premium material/titanium knives. Yes, they’re also very good, and though priced very well, the satisfying perception of value isn’t quite as strong as these great ultra budget versions.
I got the fraction?? I dont really like it.bad buy.but i do love kershaw knives?😊
It's incredible to get a full size blade at such a great price. This one actually fills the hand. I hope to see them up their materials. Do you think they will ever make a $100 knife?

Point well taken. Thanks.
Hi, right now, ruike have made an upgraded model with n690 and titanium!
I thoroughly enjoy my penguin knives.
I contacted the company for confirmation on the pronunciation and received this “Hi Matt, it's /reik/“ which may help someone
Another thing that crkt/kershaw have is they have knives under 3"/2.5". Those length limits plague larger cities here in the US. If these chinese makers ever start making knives in that size...
That woud be theyre end lol
Got It a couple of months ago...no worries about it
I really like the look of that knife. I almost wish they made one model at about $300-500 with some better steel and polish. Yes, I am a crazy man.
Average Joe Real Steel is Ruike as well just a little higher end . Maybe check them out ,they don't hit 300 but the m390 modus I think is 130ish.
I contacted Ruike Canada and they said it was pronounced RAKE-HH with silent h's....????
So I stumbled upon bestech knifes. Look very nice. Any thoughts?
b ach
40$ bestech Buy with confidence great knives! Action and detent make them amazing flippers!
Great knives unless you hate D2. Because everything is D2 with their lower end knives.
Buy them all!
Some of them are great but some are terrible value.
I saw they are mostly d2. I have no problem with that and at $40, if they have good actions, seems like good value. I'm not interested in their $200 knives. Not taking that chance.

Check out the ruike p841 L
Do you know if the detent on this knife is adjustable?
Hi Nick. In terms of the name, I guess the reason might be that "Ruike" is the Pinyin (official romanization system for Mandarin, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin ) of their Chinese name 锐克 (ruì kè - pinyin of 锐克).

I sanded down those hot spots, once I got it, last year. Great knife for the $. Very similar to my Bestech Scimitar.
Thank you for the honest evaluation of the Rake knife, I mean Rauike knife, its a good knife and a lot of times you nitpick the lower end knives totally apartment.
beautiful knives with a price thats very good 👍.
beautiful minimalist looking knife, except for that upcurve blade.
4:47 but you don't have to sand the rat to make it comfortable...
Great review
I like it .coming soon😊
This is their best seller. They're ruiking it in.
I have this blade and 6 more Ruikes. I think they're the best quality for $$ in the budget category .
4th Ruike review? This is the second I've seen.
They're not all live yet.
I need a shirt that reads .....Absolutely 💯%
This knife cut me while it was fully closed. The tip rests close enough to the edge of the handle to slice you if the side of your finger reaches between the scales. Put a nice slice in the side of my thumb reaching to take it out of my pocket. I still really like it.
Me too.
Kinda crazy to have a knife that poses a potential cutting risk even when closed.
Kershaw and CRKT need to step it up. Schrade has always been a train wreck in my opinion. Nick is right if Ruike was in Walmart they would be on top.
Schrade is the mall ninja type brand ive seen in the knife world, most of theyre knives are just gimmicks
Did you realy say mov will be okay lol
Would love to see the 417 Fact Benchmade :)
Nice Video;)
Can't find anything else to gripe about besides the name...damn good knife.
Apparently in Chinese it's pronounced as Ray-ku (a bit like que) also apparently it means "sharp".

great value, looks like a great knife for nonknife people aka normies out there on a budget
why not be :" raycut"?
nice smooth nice smooth nice smooth
If I got one as a loaner I could call it the Hussy. 🤔
Great review! But um, "Ruike people over the coals." Nick, really! LOL
100% Nick!
I would say this is pronounced penguin equally plausible.. Hahahaha!! Love u Nick!
Wow he said festival of ugly re: the kershaw.
We love you, Nick...10:22, a "festival of ugly."
Rrroo-eek. Change my mind.
Rodrigo Teresa well considering it ends in Ike it would be pronounced ror-ike (not I key or eek)
100%
I just say it as it's spelled. Ru-ike (not i-key) but I guess that works too
I pronounce it "Roo - (i) - Kay"
Hahahahaha. I am now calling my Ruike knives Penguins!!
literally butchered the word hussar
OK so he doesn't know. No big deal. Still produces great vids...
Well,m he did have a knife in his hand....what else was he going to do with it?
The fourth reich knife lmao
9:06 Nick getting political on us 😁
Thanks for the review nick. Make ask the wife happen. It’s what the people want
Looks like a Boker Kwaiken.
Nick can you send me one I can’t get them in Canada 🇨🇦,, I will send you money I don’t want it for free...
