Lightweight, stylish and incredibly sharp — all this is about the Ruike P188-B knife. It is designed for EDC purposes but is also suitable as an auxiliary tool in the field if a thin blade is required for certain tasks.
The model has a folding design with a blade made of D2 tool steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC. This is not quite a usual brand for Ruike brand tools, which allows balancing between the quality of construction and its cost.
The steel can be sharpened quickly, effectively resists chipping and deformation under high loads and has good corrosion resistance provided that a simple rule of blade care is observed: wipe it dry after each use. Black stonewash (black stonewash) of the blade, performed at the final stage of production, allows to achieve a perfectly matt surface of steel, matting fingerprints and small scratches.
The blade of the Ruike P188-B knife has an unusual sword tip profile with a thin false blade along the entire length of the edge, which makes the tool look like a miniature sword. When sharpening this type of blade, the main emphasis is placed on the tip to maintain the penetrating ability, which is the main advantage of the shape. The blade with a tapered tip demonstrates smooth cutting and excellent stabbing performance, which is why such blades are often used not only in EDC tasks but also in tactical operations.
The design opens instantly thanks to ball bearings in the axle assembly - to do this, you need to press the flipper fin. The knife is secured by a double lock: Liner lock + Thumb Up lock.
The handle has smooth curves, which improves grip and prevents the feeling of fatigue in the wrist when holding the knife for a long time. The slats on the handle are made of rough G10 fibreglass. The material is not afraid of sharp temperature changes, direct mechanical impact and contact with both water and aggressive compounds.
The ability of the knife to fold up to 123 mm in length and its weight of 106 g has a positive effect on the convenience of carrying. This is further enhanced by the deep-fitting clip, which allows the tool to be completely hidden in a pocket.
