Not made by rike and who done the pricing on this? ππ this drop is $10 more than the hummingbird drop which is a actual rike knife and is titanium with damasteel.
Nugent91This is also S35VN and much larger than the Hummingbird. CH is also owned by the brother of the owner of Rike, which is why Rike is sponsoring this drop.
pyrobunnyIt's not larger by a great amount and it doesn't matter if they're brothers, the company making them are CH not rike so saying it's a rike spinner knife is false advertisement. Using that logic I could easily say that my cyro is actually a ZT
Nugent91Being someone who owns a Hummingbird, this knife has a blade almost as long as the full length of the Hummingbird. Also, it doesn't make sense to compare a Cryo in 8cr13MoV to a ZT, and that's a rather different situation than this. There is a possibility of the CH knives being made in the same factory as Rike, and it's even made of the same materials Rike uses. It's completely different for Rike to sponsor and want to put their name on a knife from a brother company than for someone to say their Cryo is a Zero Tolerance.
pyrobunnyI don't really care what way it's cut, to me the knife/spinner is made by ch and should be marketed as such. It's a different story with the new rike knife that's a collaboration with rike but that knife has both companies logos and is marketed as such.
pyrobunnyWell cars by Honda and Acura are built in some of the same factories, but that doesnβt make your Civic an NSX. Saying this CH bullshit is a Rike is *exactly* like claiming a Cryo is a ZT- or better yet, a legit Hinderer. Hell, he designed it, right? Being a CH apologist does not make you right.
WncYorkshireLadWell it's specified as damasteel on here and blade hq and everywhere else so that's why I wrote damasteel man. The hummingbird is amazing and this spinner is a CH not a Rike.
Jschreiner1349No duh, a Civic isn't an NSX because it's a completely different design. If Honda and Acura agreed a car they both had a part in designing/producing should be named under one brand, would you complain?
WncYorkshireLadNo worries man, all good! It's a tiny piece of Damasteel, which is how they get away with letting sites like Massdrop sell it for $75 haha
pyrobunnyHonda and Acura are an Export market contrivance. In Japan it's just Honda. And many Honda and Honda(acura) models are parts interchangeable. Ask anyone who has grafted Integra parts onto their Civic tuner.
pyrobunnyYes but Honda and Acura are the exact same company. Honda is Asia, Africa and Europe, Acura is north and south America. Rike and CH are two individual companies manufacturing different knives, just because rike built a ch design this time, it's doesn't mean it should be advertised as a actual rike knife. That's like saying that Honda is going to build a car for Toyota and its going to have Toyota badges etc but yet be advertised and sold as a Honda.
