Product Description
Making its official debut on Massdrop, the Rike Knife W1 is a downright beast. Measuring 9.3 inches, this burly flipper can handle anything from skinning and chopping to slicing and piercing Read More
The only way I'd consider AUS8 anywhere this price range would be if it was mirror polished. AUS8 is much better in this regard (pretty polishing) than some of the other super steels, which have better edge holding, but can't be polished worth a crap because of the steel grain and composition. Hence why you always see them with duller "tactical" finishes. AUS8 while not the best edge holder, is not a bad steel as it resharpens extremely easily, and like I said, polishes beautifully without too much work, but if your going to ask this pricing for AUS8, I want to see more than a ugly sandpaper finish with a pretty handle.

$90 for Aus 8? We can get S35vn for $80 right here on massdrop...
Rike is so unrealistic with it's pricing to the point they have become the joke of the Chinese Manufactures. As if the price wasn't bad enough you go tip down, extra heavy, with wonder steel AUS-8. What a joke
Rike is held up as a good quality mid tech company commonly seen with m390, s35vn,and at their lower end 154cm,so did they special order aus8 , this is such a nice shape and titanium handles ,if they just paired this design with 154cm and stayed at this price range I think they would have something here . (and gave clip options) i don't mind that much.
Great looking Knife!! Great Shape, Nice Ano, Good thumb studs, and Spot on Milling BUT being made from Low Quality Steel and TIP DOWN ONLY! well that's a Deal Breaker. Come on Massdrop you do better and so can We foe $90 bucks. Just sayin
Rike’s prices show how full of themselves they are. I own a couple of Rike knives...they are not all that. They seem to have no quality control at all.
