Space Combat Knife Ruike P135 #1 Mailbag

[@quinnwarman5139]

I have three ruike knives now in my collection and they get the most use I love them great price function and easy sharpen

[@Lovepreet_Singh93]

I’ve just ordered Ruike P128-SF. Hopefully, it will be nice.

[@tydiggs9117]

Bought mine based on this video over a year ago. It was perfect but just got stolen. I'm back to this channel because I loved the way you put this together.

[@davidwatchesyoutube]

I've been running the Ruike 108-SF for a few months now. Same steel, frame material, and "Beta Lock" in a slimmer, lighter design. I love the heck out of it.

[@BundyPaul]

Just looking at this knife now in 2020, outstanding review, thank you. You've helped me decide! Appreciate your review, no stone left unturned!

[@charlescollier7217]

I've been on the Ruike train for a while. And yeah, Kershaw, CRKT, and others are off the list until they catch up.

[@williamjc7195]

I have 7 Ruike knives. I think they are the best value/$$ on the market today. They have raised the bar for"budget" blades. I do not own this blade, however. I have the P-128 which is very,very similar to the P-135. X-cellent knives all.

[@mikilambastein1449]

Looks like a 120 dollar knife.

[@ArenaAccessories]

Feels like a $120-200 knife, as well... at least to me, it does.

[@EverymanGear]

Dude. It looks like at 1:57 that Jr. is ready to do your knife dimension specs!! Lol 👍🏼👍🏼

[@bobturner3667]

Jr sold me on this knife! What a great little helper and a great looking blade.

[@SullyCortez]

I picked up the Ruike p180 i think it’s called, and I freaking love it. Your recommendations are awesome!! Would love to see more Knife reviews along the lines of the benchmade grizzly or the Homefront. Great video!

[@phatpigeonii]

I got the P801 a while back based on GT's review, and I loved it so much I bought a 2nd as a backup. I also don't see much reason to spend $50 ($20 more than the 801) to get another knife which looks to me to be slightly inferior in many ways. For the money, the Ruike P801 is by far the best pocket knife I've ever owned (and I own at least 20 and have lost or destroyed another dozen over the years). It is one my my 3 primary EDC knives, and the other two each cost over $100!

[@DaltonVann96]

I've been watching your channel for years. Love the vids.

[@huejanus5505]

Very good looking knife. Has a ZTish look to it for a whole lot less $.

[@abc456f]

And the lock won't fail from a simple spine tap like most zt's. ZT's are overpriced, fatally flawed garbage.

[@cylentone]

I bought 2 of these and gifted them, even though it was my favorite - ordering the 3rd one now.

[@The4cp]

Great knife and really super cool doing a video with your son.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Wow, that pocket knife is badass looking. Also 50 bucks for the knife, that's a great deal for that kind of quality. Another great video bro.

[@scoundrel1680]

#MailBag Hey Aaron, in your opinion how do you feel about the saturation of products in the gear community? Positive or Negative? Some may argue that the commercialized "You HAVE to buy this to do ____ " mentality spoils the pure and freeing idea of simply enjoying being outside. Can you have too much variety? Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks.

[@edcreasia8961]

What a great value,and attention to detail. I should look into the Ruike knives. So many quality brands coming out of China. Some have the U.S. steel but produced in China.

[@bennythebossstk209]

Thanks G.T.S. for the lefty consideration. Great vid as always. Luv the knife.

[@BMfins]

Yep Ruike has there shit together. Easily one of the best value knifes. Makes me want to try there flashlights.

[@EarlyMist]

That's the exact folder I took out last wknd for a two nighter. It excelled in all but edge retention but easy as P$$s to sharpen. I like it so much I bought 5 about 6 months ago as collectors. I think I've bought about 45ish Ruikes now. I just see them accruing value down the line as they are one of the companies that are ahead of the pack in terms of value, steel choice and finish, no play up down sideways ever (out of my 45 Ruikes....literally no play in any of them and smooth opening on all of them). etc.

[@Bullshitter000]

Thank you for your video! Great knive presentations in your channel!

[@duncanidaho2097]

Love the design, attention to details and especially blade. But I don’t understand how some peeps like temperature sensitive metal scales. Micarta and G10 feel much better. Thanks for another great review, Aaron.

[@Logan2070]

I want one with a G10 side.

[@grad13nt1]

my edc for awhile good balance excellent quality.

[@WarGrrl3]

I have the p128, it's amost the same knife, a little different blade shape but close n it only cost me $34. Riuke NEVER disappoints. Have had it for almost 1 year and only had to sharpen it ONCE; I keep it razor sharp by touching it up on a ceramic rod n occasionally a strip. The 14c28n is FANTASTIC and I just DON'T understand why other companies arent using it. I now only buy 14c28n or d2 for my inexpensive knives, no more mov for me. Aaron just said it while I was writing it. This IS a superior steel. Especially Kershaw; they are the ones that had the 14c28n developed and are too stupid to use it, they just use that MOV Crap, I won't buy the Squid (kershaw or crkt?) unless it is released it in the 14c28n. I just don't get it. Thanks A for another great vid.

[@jmunsamy]

Would love to see you get their titanium knives for review!

[@jamieliluca9663]

hey just want to say that i'm a big fan from the Netherlands. i also have a question, what do you think of the p138-w from ruike? Greetings Jamie 💪

[@mistersmith3986]

Hey brother, have you ever had a chance to get your hands on a Steel Will Roamer 300 or 350 knife?

[@abnergaldos8695]

Cute kid, must take after his mother. : )

[@lvalle1994]

That is one awsome looking blade!

[@dlovisuals]

Debating whether I want this or the P108 as my next knife

[@radioham6979]

Cool knife and you've got a cool helper !

[@MrBlessed70]

Great review Gideon!! I would love this knife have G10 on the non-pocket clip side.

[@flipflat4814]

Too bad the 14c28n wasn't heat-treated from 60 to 62 hrc that's where you unlock the full potencial of 14c28n without any adverse effects. 63 hrc is the point of diminishing returns and the beginning of adverse effects for 14c28n. Still a awesome buy👍👍👍!

[@PreparedWolf34]

You make a good point on coast and blade steel used. Cool review.

[@bkdesignr]

Would love to see a review on the RUIKE JAGER sometime👍🏼great vid as always.

[@darthblade2016]

#mailbag I have family that lives in Wyoming and I do go to visit them when I can. Can you recommend any good trails for a novice hiker in the Jackson Hole area?

[@1968gadgetyo]

I have a Real Steel with a stainless /G10 body. The milling on the steel body will trap LOTs of dirt. I've been EDCing for 8 months and and have to clean it out. Another function of the Beta -lock to prevent over extension of the locking bar. You can push the locking bar all the way, and it will not 'over bent'. Like you, I also ask myself about getting USA branded knife with AUS8, 8CrMov and 420HC blades for that price.

[@barrybueler3356]

Great looking knife

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Nice looking knife Aaron

[@gabrielramos5498]

Thanks for making lefty's a priority in your reviews. Every time I look at pocket knives and theres an a fpravle one I like it often right hand only. Then the sales guy tells me oh you can make it work. I don't want to make it work I want it to work. Good channel keep up the good work. God bless

[@matthewtaylor9063]

Like the mailbox, liking the lighter knife its talking to me

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

I'm going to get the one with a harpoon shaped blade.

[@alanseran6944]

Love your vids..however you lost me at the 5.8 oz. I would just carry a small fixed blade

[@bp-hx9ts]

Alan Seran same if they started doing more premium stuff with titanium and a better steel then I’d love ruike they have amazing fit and finish And pretty good designs

[@lamprozar1]

Love the design and the price is right I agree very nice 💪👊 👊

[@davidruby6725]

Awesome review I'm now in the market for a few to go with my kissers love the glasses let us know whose an where to buy they're bad ass thanks again keep up the good work

[@theplasticdesert2408]

You had me at space combat knife.

[@benjaminvorhauer3294]

Another nice blade. Thanks Aaron. Greetings from Austria

[@dpax7965]

Great review. You mention that you'd like to see more companies use bearings as compared to washers, I have not found a knife yet that uses bearings that keeps the grit and debris out of the action like those with washers (And I have used many). Have you had the same experience with folding knives that use bearings getting debris in them more than the knives with washers?

[@Jason-hv4eu]

The blade looks almost identical to a Benchmade Loco. Have you reviewed the Loco?

[@Sticky1]

Ruike and Artisan cutlery are the best, around $80 to $120.Au

[@rainmayhem4255]

That knife looks like a cross of a Kershaw and Boker.

[@johnlhigh]

I like their knives but are just to slick for my liking. Seems to be good quality for the cost without a doubt...

[@davidwatchesyoutube]

Their P105-Q and P105-K models have textured G10 scales. A little thicker, but still great knives in the hand or pocket.

[@sski1971]

The Chinese spinner widgets had ballbearings also but when they got wet, they rusted like the tin man. I can guarantee you these are the cheapest rust prone bearings you can have on a knife! For me, save your 50 on a better knife

[@crommy927]

I actually like that 👍

[@jeffwrinkle575]

Really impressed with this knife. Great honest review as always. Other than weight and clip not setup for lefties this knife fits the bill for a SUK knife. #Mailbag: I am researching Get Home Bags. The Van Quest and Maxpedition bags are really nice but also very expensive. How about reviews for inexpensive bags. The good, the bad and the ugly.

[@Sticky1]

Really nice knife I paid $99 au on ebay

[@nerv5th]

It should be like this: Long time well reputable OEM Chinese knife maker Sanrenmu owns Fenix Lights and some time ago they started RUIKE to make medium to large folding knives with all the expertise they gathered in the years they produced rather smaller folders and also knives for well known brands like spyderco they bring to the market a excellent product line with a great price ! I suggest check out their new model Sanrenmu 9015 it should cost around 27$

[@jtuck5366]

How often do you have to tighten your pivot screw? I had to tighten mine daily therefore sold it in a garage sale.

[@informedcitizen8687]

J Tuck Why didn't you use some Loctight on the pivot?

[@jtuck5366]

Informed citizen I didn’t feel the quality was worth the effort. Out of all the knives I have I’ve never had to fix any of them.

[@Hungrybird474]

$50 in 2022 and a great deal .

[@jaydee3885]

Gregory makes women’s bags as well. Think Gregory Deva

[@MrNiceGuy80x5]

Here come the safety vultures

[@JuandelaCruz001]

Whoa!!! Looks like the Kershaw Link's Chinese cousin. Great design too! You should really check out BESTECH; the War Wolf, the Scimitar and the PALADIN.

[@jasoncdonnelly7488]

Your son is so cute. I thought at 2:07 it was his hand reaching for the blade lol

[@brianf9619]

The reason all these Chinese budget knives have ball bearings is because the tolerances don't have to be as precise as they do when using phosphorus bronze washers , so they just throw these bearings in every knife , tork down the pivot , and call it good . So in reality , your getting a lot better tolerances when the knife can drop shut when its using washers . Also , for hard use , ball bearings create a no no , if you drop that knife in the dirt and a single grain of dirt gets in that ball bearing pivot , it's all done , the pivot will sound and feel like it has a pound of dirt in it . I have a few of these BB pivot knives , and there wicked fun to play with , but they have there place , that's all I'm saying.

[@davidtate166]

Wellbuild blade.its shines.

[@0neTwo3]

I disagree with your opinion on bearing pivots... Bronze bushings are superior IF the tolerances are correct. Bushings don’t have space to allow dust into the mechanism and are much better for hard use because the contact surface area is larger for load dispersal. Bearings to me are a sign that a knife is not for hard use.

[@davidtate166]

I like it .it's a 🏆. For 50$ .i would buy this.1428sanvik steel i think.nice .

[@pyshpoak]

I love your reviews,but this knife is trying too hard to be an 50$ Hinderer. Not for me.

[@glamlifeleesh5163]

Awww man stop hatting and crying

[@johnfuller6338]

G.T.jr has gotten so big, pretty soon he'll have his own channel..

[@genoedcknifecollecter1538]

Looks like a isham

[@mealex303]

Love it 🔪😏👌

[@eleven_eleven]

Very nice!

[@KKJae187]

so hard to avoid made in China

[@glamlifeleesh5163]

Not really The Chinese are making some of the best knives in the world..PERIOD

[@bigkane9649]

Hi From Ukriane ! good Son ) nice knife , th for video !

[@mattfinish2196]

Still nothing for us lefty's.

[@GaryHorn]

#mailbag Who have been your theological influences over the years? And GT Junior looks like his Mommy.

[@lino5167]

Thank god! ;)

[@5shotsr611]

I like that 😍

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

yes nice, I have one of their knives, BUT, its chinese. You sure you want to believe all that? Anyone test it, as in test to see if all that rockwell and stuff is for real?? Probably not. You know they like to hide stuff behind glitz, they do it with fishing reels constantly! Oh, they look sweet, b-u-t...you know what Im saying. Believe 1/2 of what ya see and none of what ya read, sometimes via the chinese.

[@fabriziofilippello6350]

Cooles Video idio

[@4lifejeph]

Awesome looking knife. I love those big tank knives but you lost me at Chinese. Make it in America, raise the price to $75-80 and boom I'm buying one of ea model.

[@RealAndyOriginal]

4lifejeph if this was made in America it would be over 150$ easily. Just imagine if bench made made a knife with these materials and fit and finish. Way more expensive just for the name!

[@johnwalll4856]

Lol rake
