I was browsing through comments in this thread related to previous drops of this knife, and I noticed a few saying that this was a great deal for a knife with M390 blade steel. And I dont dispute that necessarily, but if anyone is still looking for inexpensive M390 (and really, any self-respecting knife fiend ought to be looking for inexpensive M390 steel at all times, hence this post), dig on into the list of ended drops and request the Kizer Cutlery Mini Dorado Skully Flipper Knife Titanium. Here's the BladeHQ page for reference, but note that the listed price of $250 is not the drop price, nowhere near it; the MD price I paid, and that has been offered at least twice, and likely more, is $99: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Kizer-Cutlery-Mini-Dorado-Skully--50166
Now, the Rike 1504 and the Kizer Mini Skully aren't a perfectly congruent comparison by any means: the Skulky has a 3" blade. .75" shorter than the 1504; and there's no question the Rike knife is a much better looking knife overall. But both are flippers, both have full Ti bodies, and both are made in China, so if the question is down to the best possible price on a reputable maker's M390, well...not for the first time, Kizer is the best deal by a wide margin. $151 wide, to be precise.
Also, I love my mini Skully. It's one of two Kizers I own that gets regular pocket time, no small accomplishment these days, with competition from dozens of knives from my favorite brands like Pro-Tech, ZT, Boker, Spyderco, Mcusta, and a couple dozen Microtechs (for now), most of which have M390 blade steel. But even still, I carry my Skully--the mini, anyhow; it's big brother stays in the drawer.

Hatuletoh99 is definitely a good price. you can also get cheap but good quality chinese m390/ti knifes on ebay such as the twosun knifes

HatuletohI am sure the Rike is a great knife with great steel. I prefer thumbstuds though( I know I am in the minority these days), so at this price, I think I would rather pick up a ZT 0393. Would love to see it at a discount here.

ponagathosThe 0393 is one of my all-time favorite knives. So much so that I own all three versions, the standard blue bodied one with a CPM 20CV blade, and the two sprint runs, which have S35VN blades. And I've tricked them out with Hinderer hardware and some carbon scales on the blue one. But I seriously doubt we'll see any lower price than the $240 (or $220 for the sprint runs), considering that the MSRP is $300 or $320, something like that. $240 is as low as Kai will let anyone go. The only time ZTs go on sale is when they're being discontinued. Speaking of which, BladeHQ has that Sinkevich/Rexford collaboration (cant recall the #) on sale. It's usually priced at $320, but the sale price is $228, I believe. And I mention it because its. strictly thumb stud deployment Alternately, I just picked up the new Emerson-designed 0640--also thumb stud only, or thumb disc, I suppose. Very nice deployment despite washers instead of KVT; ergos arent my favorite, but I love ZTs so much I just buy whatever they put out, since a bad ZT is still better than most other companies' best.

HatuletohYes, probably wishful thinking on my part. I did get the 0620 Emerson in Elmax for $169 when it was discontinued and I guess was hoping for a similar deal.
