RikeKnife Alien 4 Dark Gray Titanium, Damasteel by Richard Wu (RK-ALIEN4-DG)

Alien4 Dark Gray Titanium, Damasteel is an unusual and eccentric folder. At first glance you can see what its genesis is, it looks like H.R. Giger's work for the film Alien <ang. Alien>. A monolithic, milled, rigid titanium Handle that looks like the spine or chest of an alien. Includes Protective tool (RK PT-B), a titanium multi-tool in the form of a pen with a glass-breaking pin, cap opener, T6 / T8 screwdriver and pocket clip.

Rike Knife - an independent brand founded by long-time knife enthusiast Richard Wu. With a background in mechanical design and manufacturing, he constantly strives for excellence and perfection helped by his professional design team and his own independent factory. RikeKnife is an unconventional brand, grounded in original design, that dares to be an innovator and challenge the traditional solutions used by contemporary knife companies. It uses only the highest quality materials to produce knives of excellent quality for customers around the world. Enjoying a well-deserved reputation in the world of knives, the brand is committed to high quality workmanship and an innovative approach to design. This has been recognised by, among others, the legendary American brand Microtech, which for the first time in its history commissioned products designed by it to be made outside the USA, precisely by the Chinese company Rikeknife. These include the SOCOM Bravo and Anax folders and Kyroh Pen tactical pens.

Damascus - Damascus stainless steel blade with a unique pattern. A blade consisting of two different types of steel forged and folded together in different ways to obtain this amazing pattern. It is characterised by a high hardness of 58-60 HRC.

Blade - Persian type, finished with an etching highlighting the unique damascus patterns. The long cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade and the high, flat grind give excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearing ceramic supports the opening of the blade with a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper) acting as a stag once opened. We can also open it by means of a hole in the wedge. The Blade overlay is an extension of the Handle pattern and provides a thumb rest for better control of the knife. The whole is locked with a modern Frame Lock.

Handle - monolithic, made from a single piece of 6AL4V titanium milled with 3D CNC machine tools. This provides incredible strength, but requires the highest level of skill and precision in production. The chamfered cover edges and fore finger groove eliminate sharp edges and improve grip ergonomics. On the back of the Handle, stylised circles which, with holes milled below, bring to mind a section of Alien's skeleton. The pivot is decorated with the stylised Rike Knife brand logo. The single-position (right) deep carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket in the tip-up position (blade tip up).

Carrying case - the knife is packaged in a zippered nylon soft pouch with the brand logo for safe carrying and storage of the folder.
