Mine arrived with side-to-side blade play, scratches on the handle, a ding on the pocket clip (under the anodization), and a mushy detent. I put it side-by-side with my friend's 1504A that he bought from a well-known dealer, and they were different in a dozen ways, including the thickness of the blade , the pivot design, and the milling patterns on the handle.

The blue one is beautiful, but I can't understand why buy a pocket knife for $219? the 33 of you guys that bought it - what do you plan on using it for? not trying to be condescending, if I bought a knife for that much it would probably go in a case and shown off. Otherwise, every other knife I have I use for whatever random task comes up.

jumpy.coreMy $2100 Todd Begg sits in display with a custom Bowie. My $500 and under go in my pocket until time to rotate. My EDCs range high for quality in parts, assembling, and standards, to the low just because I like the look and quality. And trust me, there is a difference between "buy 2 for $12" and good $100 knives. A huge difference between there on up.

jumpy.core$220 is cheap fora picket knife using high quality parts and high quality workmanship. That being said, $250 for a Chinese made knife (Or where ever in Asia it is from.) is the upper limit. People rave about the material, but going from the lowest quality steel, to the highest quality steel is <$20. So high quality steel isn't the reason for high end knives. The steel needed to make a knife blade is just around $5-20, even for the highest best steel. Look on knife maker supply sites for process of different steels. And remember the price is fora long piece that you can usually best several knives into. (A 2" wide by 48" long piece will yield 8-10 average knives. So if it's $200, it's really $20-25/knife, and that is very high quality steel. Also, divide that number by 3-4, and that's what the knife maker is paying, even less if it's a Chinese alloy analogous to a high end steel. Not including pattern welded/Damascus stock.) So if anyone, or any manufacturer, tells you, "The knife is really expensive because it uses better steel," they're full of shit. $200 is not very much money, for a high quality knife, either way. I just would not spend much more ona Chinese made knife. Why would you skimp out on something that is in your pocket all day everyday, that you use a lot?

I'm in on the blue one. Pictures show a leather pouch as well as the zipper case. Is this included? Haven't seen it mentioned in the earlier comments.

viramanJust received the blue one. No leather sheath just black pouch. Massdrop.com should change the picture for the next drop. That said, knife is gorgeous and absolutely flawless.

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.

The 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.

To anyone considering this knife. This knife is fantastic for everyday carry ever since I got it it's been in my pocket and used and it requires minimal maintenance to stay sharp. Easy 9.5/10 stars. Minus .5 stars because it's super stiff out of the box but just by playing with it the first week it will loosen up. This deal is a killer for M390 steel and if I lost mine I'm 100% getting another. Amazing knife in every category.

I wrote to Massdrop costumer service about which Rike 1504 model it is. I hope they respond soon, there's only a few days left to decide whether to buy it or not. I'm interested in the sheepsfoot, not the drop point.

DougFLA123Any news? Only 2 days left and I'll join the drop if it's the drop point, but not the sheepsfoot.

KevinLI did hear back from two customer service people (because I wrote two separate emails on two different days). One said, "Unfortunately, we do not have the technical knowledge to provide you with the answer to your specific product question on the Rike Knife 1504", The other one said, "After taking a look at the order, it looks like the knife model for the drop in question is the 1504A".
So, it sounds like it is the sheepsfoot, which is the knife in the pictures, which is the one I was hoping it would be. M390 steel, Ceramic ball-bearing washers, $220...Incredible!

Is this the Rike 1504A (sheepsfoot) or the Rike 1504B (drop point)? The pictures all show the modified sheepsfoot, but all of the text refers to it as a drop point. Go to BladeHQ to see the difference. The difference is huge!
