I own several Spanish made knives. Several Jokers, Cudemans, and Hydras. This was also not disappointing. Perfect hollow grind blade that was shaving sharp. I stropped it for 5 min and now it's truly scary. A very nice leather sheath made of a heavy saddle leather. Most of these Spanish knives are just smaller versions of their full size models blade is at least 4mm thick. I intend to put this in my EDC rotation. This probably will not be my last J&V, although I've noticed prices starting to creep up on all of them. I guess tariffs are getting into everything.

Ruike is a Chinese company owned by Fenix flashlights. Clearly after building a solid reputation, they are not willing to lose it. Something European and American should try to remember. I own several Ruike knives, and have never had a bad one. The 801 is no exception. I have the dark finish version. Blade is shaving sharp and perfectly ground and centered. Action is very smooth with maybe a hint of grittiness, but after using a synthetic oil, it seems to be even slicker. Frame lock provides a secure lock up. The only real critique, which has also been noted by others, is that they placed the thumb stud on the blade too close to the point of rotation. I rarely use this anyway preferring to flick it open. Overall, decent steel and great attention to details. Can't believe this knife is offered at this price point. Even better with OPs discounts.

I don't know why these no longer seem to be carried by OP. My Strongarm came with a perfectly ground fine edge, that's razor sharp. It's full tang extending through the rubber coated handle. The sheath is a multimount system for different methods of carry. Sheath has its own locking retention in addition to nylon snap strap. Gerber was smart using a proven system and then improving upon it. It's easily the most economical magnacut fixed blade out there. I hope OP will be able to carry it in the future.

I'm actually surprised no one has reviewed this knife. It's a 5+ inch long blade of high carbon stainless steel, similar in hardness to AUS-8 and is powder coated. It's a full quarter inch thick and weighs close to a pound. Blade is full tang with a finger choil and has jimping for the thumb on the upper spine and on the underside of the grip. While the jimping is aggressive, I didn't find it painful. My blade has a perfect hollow grind. Sheath is a black cordura nylon with a kydex liner insert and a nylon retainer with a snap. It has an external velcro pouch that contains a diamond sharpening stone and a decent sized ferro rod with striker. My knife came sharp enough to cut notebook paper and shave the hair on my arm. I imagine when I strop it, it will be scary sharp. Is it as refined as some of the Spanish or Italian knives? No, but it also doesn't cost like them either. If I compare it to say, the Selkirk, which would be a close competitor, I'd say this micarta handle is a lot more comfortable in the hand. The only drawbacks I notice are it's weight and I'd have preferred a sabre grind over the hollow grind for its intended use, but there's certainly nothing wrong with it. If you're on a budget and you are looking for decent knife you wouldn't have to worry about, this is it. Overall, a great bargain.

I took a chance with this knife, but I was familiar with other Spanish made knives. This thing was like a work of art. The photos don't do it justice. It's probably comparable to my Canal Street hand made knives that are no longer made. Mirror finished blade. Perfect, uniform flat grind on blade. A thick leather flap sheath with secure snap. Sheath is similar in quality to the one on the Fallkniven F1, that I also purchased from OP. Now I have the problem, do I really want to get it dirty. Everything is excellent quality, easily worth 3x the price. You won't be disappointed. Savings up for my next Cudeman.

Great little compass. Much better than the typical button compass. Seems accurate as I also have an MC-2G (their top of the line), and they both seem to locate the same magnetic north. I've seen them clipped to watch bands, but I didn't want to overtax the plastic clip on my G-shock, as it seemed a little thin. I think a small piece of industrial grade velcro would probably work better if you do wish to attach it to your watch bands. It also has a rotating click bezel like a full size. Overall, for what it is and it's intended use (emergencies), I'm very pleased.

My first Esee folder that's going into my EDC rotation. Suprising that the coated blade is less expensive than the plain. While not my sharpest blade out of the box, it will shave the hair off your arm. Edge was perfectly ground. Not perfectly centered on closing, but not substantially far off center either. While I don't go crazy with my working knives, I feel I should lay it all out there. Decent size and weight. I can't say it was easy to open one handed,but I could tell after a little synthetic oil (silicone), it should break-in nicely. If you're looking for a quality EDC, an Esee in D2 for under 40 bucks, you will be very pleased with this knife.

I've never had a bad Ruike knife and this is no exception. This was probably designed to complete with the SAK Ranger series. Everything on this is massive. All sharpened blades are razor sharp,so use care. Almost twice as large (and heavy)as an SAK. Locking blade with a thumb stud for one hand opening. Half way stops for safety. Strong springs. Really decent steel and scales. SAK should pay attention. You can put this in a (large) multitool sheath, but it also has a pocket clip. While big and heavy, it's very substantial and I wouldn't hesitate taking this into the woods. You won't be disappointed.

These are great knives especially at this price point. Razor sharp. It does have a slight micro bevel. Probably the most economical convex blade you're going to find. Overall built sheath. Kydex that fits into a large nylon sheath that has an accessory pocket. You can remove the kydex and fix a belt attachment to it. Comfortable grips. You won't be disappointed.

First of all, Saturn is some sort of subsidiary of Lionsteel. It's even marked on the rear of the spine. Its even packed the same with a foam blade guard. The Titano seems to be a shorter version of Lionsteels M7. Same steel and same blade grind. Absolutely perfect and jaw-dropping sharp. The sheath is even the same heavy saddle leather. Its very thick and stiff, so plan on using a lot of neatsfoot oil. They cut corners by using G10 scales, without the Lionsteel wrap around grip. Many don't like anyway. And they don't have 6 or 7 variations of the same knife. I stumbled upon Saturn looking for knives in the same steel. I'm really glad I did. If you wanted a Lionsteel but balked at the price, get the Saturn. You really won't be disappointed.
