After recently laughing about ripping other makers designs off on Instagram, Rike can get stuffed far as I'm concerned..... I can see an Ernie Emerson design & Alexy Konygin design had a baby here..... Richard Wu is obviously a great machinist who has little to no idea about making great tools, he's all design, no substance with fat behind the edge blade grinds, this garbage is an overpriced trinket made outta china d2.

GoodTimes"china d2". CPM is a registered trademark to Crucible Industries. I believe all CPM steel is produced in Syracuse, New York, and distributed worldwide through Zapp Precision Metals.
It's on the Crucible Industries website. CPM steel is top tier stuff

Illinois_knife_guyThis Richard Wu laughs about ripping off American & European designers and you really think he's using D2 from Crucible rather than locally sourced in China? I'm in no way having a go at Crucible, they make some of my favorite steels ever, great company, I just wanted to warn the uninformed on here that this maker is about as trust worthy as a snitch. Happy for you to disagree, Rike do great machining, but I would rather support better behaving companies from China than this clown who do it just as well if not better without being a parasite.

GoodTimesBad behavior? From a CNC farm in lawless copycat China? Parasite behavior? China gets a free pass in the global markets. It doesn't seem there's anyone willing to really have a go at making them toe the line in Trade, business ethics (as they thumb their noses at patent holders in Europe and N.America), international law, civil rights, supporting and obeying sanctions, and just being a good global citizen instead of a vast political and diplomatic Jabba the Hutt... I really could write on forever here. Industrial espionage...and old-fashioned boots-on-the-soil espionage. I remember thinking in the last decade or two that maybe it's time for us (Canadians) to stop helping them build their roads and giving them Foreign Aid when they are spending billions to prepare to put someone on the moon... (Yes, they will stick their flag on that big rock.) Now that was a while ago... But they were receiving 'foreign aid' at the same time as they were pumping billions into a space programme. Stuff like that is just craziness and greed. Sorry, I had more to say but I have to get some sleep and let my Huawei phone send an update of me to the Chinese Central Committee or whatever...
