Ruike Hornet F815

[@jesseherbert2585]

Got this exact knife several months ago specifically for the metal. Knife steel nerds reviewed many metals and that steel (14C28N) is very strong. Tougher than most, and still holds an edge decent, easy to sharpen, and fairly stainless. This model is light, orange and a great shape for many tasks that one actually needs to do (with a hatchet for the rest). Absolutely outstanding deal for the price, ready for hunting/bushcraft and food prep. Love it. Oh, I agree about it needing a sharp spine in at least one spot close to tip, I'll likely add that soon as you mention.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for this review, Mark. Love this knife and EDC it around the house a lot.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Right on. Very versatile for sure. Thanks for commenting

[@VortymLichbane]

I won a Ruike L11 and have been very impressed with it. It's ideal for processing small game. Definitely a brand to watch 👍

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree, I have three Ruike knives and they are all well made. Thanks for commenting

As far as edc, I carry a folder on my belt. However if I’m going to the woods and need to grab gas or something from the grocery store on the way I’m wearing a much larger knife. I’m not unsheathing it or waving it around but I’m comfortable being out in public with a larger knife on my belt. So far as I’ve always been taught here in Nova Scotia a knife is just a tool until that intent changes. So long as my intent is to use it as tool I’m good to go. (But I have been confidently wrong before) Not to overshadow a great look at a nice looking little knife there Mark. I really like the versatility of the belt clip for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Yes, Steve. Legality is all about context; when, where, how you carry it and what you are doing with it. Thanks for commenting

[@NomadicHacker.]

Looks like a great hunting knife. It has the right blade shape, it's lite and the orange is always useful. It also would make a good neck knife. I will be adding this to my list of knives to consider Great video Keep up the good work!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree totally. Thanks for commenting

Hi Mark love your work and and the sharing of experience that you bring . I have 4 kids that I and my best mate are about to teach bush craft to . Was thinking this might be a good starter knife for them . But now after your review am leaning towards BSP .

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

The BPS or Beavercraft knives are great value as are the Mora and Hultafors knives. The last two may be better for your situation. They are incredibly tough and available in stainless steel. You may find a knife that will better fit your kids hands (very important). All choices are easy to learn how to sharpen, a very important skill as well. Thanks for commenting

G'day Mark, yep great for around the house, or perhaps a tradies carry I reckon. Mind you, I know many folks take a folder as a secondary on the trail, I'd suggest a small fixy such as this is a better option. Incidentally, quite similar in blade shape to their P105, (also in14C), easily the best "inexpensive" folder I own. Its usually the one I carry in public, hidden away of course, over here and should it ever be confiscated, cheap to replace, ....... on top of a potential fine, lol. Like the swivel clip, though it is quite stand off-ish, not great for concealment, but otherwise useful. Sure, not everyone's cup of tea, though it could do with some jimping on the thumb ramp IMO, Its ideal on the P105. All in all, good steel, light weight, versatile carry ..... and at a very respectable price. Thanks for showing it mate. Cheers Duke.

Great review! I like 14c28 & I love the looks of that knife. I think you didn't mention its price. Is this one a good deal for (what's equivalent to) 60 USD ?

I agree with smaller fixed blades. Far more useful for most tasks than the larger ones. Overall I like the knife, but would prefer a simpler sheath but that's just me.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I expect I will remove the belt carry attachment and use it as a neck knife. Thanks for commenting

Can you strike for fire with the knife ?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Unfortunately, no. Not without modification. Thanks for commenting

[@covenantking]

Knife law in Canada seems to be deliberately vague, i’m guessing to give the police latitude to use their judgment. If you have a legitimate reason to carry and no criminal intent it shouldn’t be a problem but people always seem to get stuck on whether pocket carry might be construed as concealment with criminal intent. What we need is a survey of police officers’ attitudes on this!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

So, I was a police officer for 36 years in a medium size Canadian city (500,000 people) and you are correct about the legality of carry. It is about context; when and where you are carrying and what you intent for it is. Thanks for commenting

[@J.sh_CDN]

​@MarkYoungBushcraft that's what I've always heard too, and one reason I'd never say I carry a knife for self defence. I have one as a tool, for cutting tasks, and in the woods in the off chance I encounter a wild animal or feral dog. I also find, as long as you are waving it around out in public, people don't seem to notice a pocket knife in pocket. I also find opening it slowly freaks out less people than snapping it open quickly

[@jimf1964]

Looks like a good light weight backpacker knife, but not the best bush crafter. I wouldn’t carry a fixed blade in town either, but if people called the cops over a wee thing like that, they should get ticketed for making false calls

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

True, not a bushcrafter but more a utility knife than can do some "bushcraft" tasks. Yes, context of when, where and how you carry this knife is all important. Thanks for commenting Jim
