Ruike D198-PB Knife Description:

The product is lightweight, weighing 118 grams, and has a length of 23.1 centimeters in the open position. The compact size of the product allows you to carry the knife with you at all times, and the high-quality materials offer excellent durability and low maintenance, ensuring that the model maintains its original appearance for a long time.

The knife's blade is made from 8Cr13MoV steel. This high-carbon steel has excellent corrosion resistance and doesn't tarnish even after prolonged exposure to moisture. The steel composition is as follows: carbon - 0.8%, chromium - 13%, manganese - 0.4%, silicon - 0.5%, nickel - 0.2%, molybdenum - 0.15%, phosphorus - 0.02%, and vanadium - 0.1%. Due to the high chromium content and the presence of silicon, it prevents chipping and deformation when performing complex tasks. Other elements ensure blade wear resistance, strength, and resistance to chemical environments, allowing the knife to be used in various conditions.

The blade of the knife exhibits excellent cutting properties, and the spine has a thickness of 3.1 millimeters, which is the optimal width for working with materials of varying hardness. The blade allows you to easily cut food at home and sharpen wooden stakes for fishing. The blade's hardness is 57-59 HRC, and it is easy to sharpen with simple sharpening stones, retaining its sharp cutting edge even under heavy use.

The blade has a matte finish due to the Stonewash finishing method. This finish serves multiple purposes: it enhances the product's attractive appearance, concealing minor scratches and abrasions on the blade's surface over time, and additionally strengthening the steel.

For safety, the Ruike D198-PD knife features a Liner Lock mechanism. This is one of the most reliable mechanisms that securely locks the blade in the open position and allows for one-handed opening and closing of the blade. To close the knife after use, minimal effort is required—simply press the small liner plate with your thumb.

The product is equipped with a handle with a tactile surface made of PA66 polyamide overlays. This material surpasses regular plastic in terms of durability and withstands extreme temperatures. The overlays have a wavy surface to provide a secure grip and better tool control, even when your hands are wet or you're wearing tight gloves. To carry the knife conveniently, it has a metal clip that allows you to attach the knife to your clothing or inside a bag. If you need to remove the clip, you can do so by unscrewing two screws.

The Ruike D198-PD knife is classified as an everyday carry flipper. It is suitable for outdoor leisure activities, as it can handle tasks of varying complexity that may arise far from civilization.

Additionally, it has an appealing design that aesthetes will appreciate, making it a knife you can proudly carry in urban settings or gift to someone.
