This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

Rike Knife - an independent brand founded by a long-time knife enthusiast, Richard Wu. With a background in mechanical design and manufacturing, he is constantly striving for excellence and perfection helped by his professional design team and his own independent factory. RikeKnife is an unconventional brand, grounded in original design, which has the courage to become 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 relies on high quality workmanship and an innovative approach to design. This was appreciated, among others, by the legendary American brand Microtech, which, for the first time in its history, commissioned its designed products to be made outside the US, precisely by the Chinese company Rikeknife. These include SOCOM Bravo and Anax folders and Kyroh Pen tactical pens .
M390 - a martensitic high-performance chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.
Blade - harpoon type, coated with black DLC coating. The long cutting edge, converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the wide blade. Thethickness of the blade and grain provide high strength. A mixed grind is used here, in the rear part is a concave grind for cutting and precision work, the so-called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front part, we have a high Flat Ground tip reinforcement grind . We can open the knife using a front flipper or an elongated hole in the blade (Thumb Hole). The whole is locked with a modern Frame Lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - made of titanium 6AL4V also coated with DLC, beautifully milled with the help of CNC machine tools . The whole is bolted to an amazingly milled backspacer, also made of titanium. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized screw. A fore finger groove improves grip security. A single-position (right) deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up). It is decorated with an imprint of a dinosaur paw.
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
