My man knows how to make a review. Cant believe this channel has so few subs. Keep up the good work!

I can't believe so many watch my vague meanderings! Thank you buddy for the kind words.

@@greencraft4783 I'm with Gg Tt on this. This channel definitely deserves more love! You're a great "meanderer" Neil

Great looking knife. Thanks for showing how to use the corkscrew in a different way than it was designed for. I never would have thought about using it to untie knots.

[@johndagostino2451]

Neil I concur. I love my Swiss Army knife and Barlow pocket knives I may invest in one thanks buddy for sharing it 👍🇮🇹🐾🦊

[@edwincathey5260]

That cork screw can be used as a pole saw. Just cut a branch as long as you need fold out the saw blade and screw the knife into the pole and lash with cordage👍

[@krishoogstraat6866]

I own 2 Ruike knives now. They are very well made. Nice review Neil.

[@ksgonewild]

Hey! This looks really good! I have a classic Swiss Army knife that I love and use all the time but this is tempting for sure! Thanks for sharing 😃

[@tonynapoli5549]

My EDC is my Swiss Army knife had it for years ..... however it’s tempting thanks for showing

[@musicwerks]

I too have been looking for a victorinox replacement - and have just ordered one of these knives for my outdoor and or bug out bags. Can't wait to see how it performs when it gets here. After watching your review I'm feeling better about my purchase - thanks for your time to review.

If i remember correctly Ruike is the knife manufacturer form the chinese Flashlight brand Fenix. Ruike manufacturers the Böker Plus brand form Böker. The Böker Plus are designt in germany and manufactured by Ruike in china. A few years ago Ruike started with the same know how to establish their own house brand. Both Böker Plus and Ruike are affordable and very good knives. Ruike is a bit more beefer and with that a bit more sturdy. And if i'm not mistaken, locking knives are also mostly forbidden in china, regarding the regulations they could be very interesting for British citizens. I live in germany and have only heard good things about Ruike pocket knives, they are good alternativ to the Victorinox 111 and Rangergrip versions.

Excellent video and what a beautiful detailing on all aspects... Hope more such videos were done on such great stuff.. Cheers!

Strap cutter? Maybe? mine's currently a very effective ferro striker. Thanks for the review. :)

[@AlanKRiley]

Cool Penknife!

[@leeendley8009]

Much as I like SAKs and own several, I prefer the shape of the blade on my Boker Tech tool, and it looks identical to this Ruike, there must be some collaboration. It looks really a really decent knife, I might give Ruike a try. Great review by they way.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Looks like a good bit of kit, Heinnie are sold out, if it had orange scales I'd be on it like a tramp on chips!!!

[@Mat-kr1nf]

Believe, on Swiss Army knife saw blades, the saw is thicker at the teeth than the spine, this helps prevent the saw from getting stuck as easily, does the Ruike knife have the same feature, or is the saw blade the same thickness at the top, as it is the bottom?

[@tinderboxsurvival6170]

Nice review, nice knife, I have a Mauser knife made under licence from victorinox like like your German army knife but has two large blades, saw etc.

[@simonh6371]

Those are worth a fair bit now, I'd be afraid to use it.

[@johndoogan3712]

Hi, there's a version of the German army pocket knife which comes with a fork and spoon. I snapped one up.

[@neilredmond1011]

Have you tried the victorinox farmer x ? Brilliant tool got everything you need and is very robust as it is the ALOX version 👍

[@brianschroeder6106]

The only problem I see with it is the fact that it doesn't have a can opener. Yes, I know I could use the main blade but I am not going to do that. I use the Victorinox Rangergrip 57 Hunter. It gives me everything I want. Yes, it is a little bigger and heavier but worth it to me. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a great little knife just not for me. Thanks for sharing Neil.

[@c2c001]

I don't see the point in having a pocket knife that doesn't have a can opener and I especially don't understand the point of putting a bottle opener and not a can opener considering you can use a can opener to open a bottle but you can't use a bottle opener to open a can.

[@ryanlee3024]

Neil, thank you so much doing this review. I am from RUIKE knife and do want to find some stockist or distributors in UK to offer RUIKE knife. However it is not easy, partly because of the law in UK. Therefore, if anyone know some stockist and distributors who are suitable to sell RUIKE, or want to wholesale/retail RUIKE knife in UK, please kindly contact me. Thank you so much.

[@allenwilson5235]

How does the belt cutter tip work on Phillips head screws?

[@soggz4246]

That seat belt saw! Had to laugh when you said you might ‘poke someone with it’! Your cutting someone out of a car! I’m sure they won’t mind. A blade gets the job done quicker, it depends on the idiot holding it!🤣🤣🤣

[@dejanjocic3477]

I was interested to see couple of reviews related to Ruike, thought that they might be worth looking at,. Unfortunately, this review ended for me at something like "I've had couple of Swiss army knives, the little red ones and couple of them snapped on me". I've been using Victorinox 91 and 84mm SAKs for decades for various tasks, including "bushcraft" and they've never snapped on me. And I've seen Victorionox blades well used over decades and sharpened so many times that they start to look more like awl than knife blade. Why would anyone listen to advert from someone who does not know how to use simple pocket knife properly?

[@sharzadgabbai4408]

The GAK saw blade bottle opener also serves as can opener. Is the Ruike similar?

[@grahamblackall6305]

Hi Neil Just a word of caution The small screwdriver is a bit unsafe! If you aren't careful, the strap cutter can slam shut, it's extremely sharp and bites really deeply!! It's the reason that I got rid of mine! Take care Graham

[@simonh6371]

That's what stopped me buying one of these or the Bokerplus / Sanremnu equivalents. All 3 brands are made in the same factory btw.

[@matesematese1572]

Interesting but how much is it ? 👍🐾🦊

A great EDC multi tool without scissors is not great!

[@TheWizardOfTheFens]

Hi Neil. How has this performed a year on?……….

[@colinbrown4008]

Nice edc knife, I'm currently carrying the SAK Soldier. Similar price.

[@simonh6371]

That's a great option if you're allowed to carry it (we're not in the UK as the blade locks). It's been issued to the German Army (with nylon scales and federal eagle embossed) since 2004, taking over from the GAK he shows here. The Swiss Army have had it on issue since 2008, it took over from the old Soldier which is basically a Pionner.

[@colinbrown4008]

@@simonh6371 definitely not "allowed" but whatever 😉

[@simonh6371]

@@colinbrown4008 Yeah I have one, I don't EDC it in the city (London) but I do take it with me on forays into the woods. For EDC with a saw I have a few ''legal'' options like the Vic Hiker, Farmer & Farmer x.

[@4StonesHandcraft]

I wonder if the victorinox mini screwdriver will fit in the corkscrew on this knife?

[@davidjustice1848]

Which one stays sharp longer.

[@antoniosarmaou6177]

Excellent knife review. I was looking for a non swiss-army knife replacement of my wenger. Do you have any experience with the LD32 by the same company? IS it just a bigger version to M32 (w/o the reamer)? Thank you.

[@keithorbell8946]

I love my Victorinox SAK’s, I collect them and have never had a problem with them. A few years ago I bough a couple of Boker Tech Tools, but I had two issues: 1. The blade seemed quite loose against the back spring, I could easily push it forward with my thumb while it was open, and 2. The pocket clip, I hate them, I find them really uncomfortable while using the tool, I prefer to put on a lanyard. What is the blade “lock” like on the Ruike? By the way, if you want a thicker blade, go for the Victorinox “Pioneer” range, 94mm Alox scales, I always carry a Farmer X.

[@reidycruise]

Pioneer X for me. It's a farmer X without the saw. Can't see the point of a two and half inch saw when I have a real one! The scissors though? Damn near perfect.

[@LarsEBruhn]

Where can you get this knife in Europe?

[@woodsmanforlife1677]

A chinese made junker for higher price then Swiss made Victorinox. No Phillips screw driver, a pocket clip that needs taken off. Fail.

[@nunyafuckinbizniz]

Very good review, but I truly disdain your countries despotic knife laws.

[@Horde334]

Yup and the irony is with all those restrictions those same said politicians still have armed personnel in tow cause those same politicians think their lives are more important then those under then them and to think with all those laws in place to they still have stabbings occur gotta love ass backwards politicians.
