Generally, I recommend it. The craftsmanship is of a very high standard. The steel sharpens well, and the knife cuts excellently. On the downside – it is narrow compared to similar G10 constructions. Relatively heavy – 120 grams. The blue color wears off the thumb stud after some time, but the anodization on the clip does not wear off, at least on my piece. Very elegant, minimalist design, somewhat "surgical." If someone likes this kind of design, it is a very good purchase. Technically flawless. You can examine it with a magnifying glass and find no mistakes.

Large folding knife designed for everyday carry (EDC). Equipped with a drop-point blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, renowned for its ease of sharpening and long-lasting edge retention. The blade features a full-flat grind for efficient cutting performance.
Deployment is possible via ambidextrous thumb studs or a flipper, which also functions as a cross-guard when the knife is open, providing extra hand protection against accidental slips onto the blade. Reliable user safety comes from the robust frame lock integrated into the handle construction.
The handle boasts an ergonomic design and is constructed from stainless steel with a Stonewash finish. A lanyard or paracord can be attached through a designated hole at the handle’s end.
A spring steel pocket clip ensures secure and convenient carry, whether clipped to a belt or the edge of a pocket.

Great knife for little money. Very well made. Well sharpened and made from good materials. The blue thumb stud for opening the blade and the blue clip look great. It's hard to find something better for this money. It's worth buying this knife. I recommend getting it while it's available!

Previously, I had a Ganzo G729; it is quite large, the blade is wide – it's inconvenient to peel potatoes and similar things, and the handle, accordingly, is also bulky. So I was looking for something more compact, and the G801 is currently my ideal: the blade is thinner, sharp as a razor, but almost as long as the G729. The handle is also more compact, but most importantly, it's very thin, because instead of a separate liner and scales on it, there's just one metal piece on each side! Thanks to the deep-carry clip, it sits securely in the pocket, and because of its compactness it's unnoticeable — at first, I periodically checked if I hadn't lost it :) Feels like it was made for my hand — my best EDC so far!

Convenient knife, fits perfectly in the hand, triple bevel, solid metal, better suited for a small hand, thickness folded only 9 mm, the thinnest of the folding knives I have seen, anodized blue clip matches the silver metal, deep carry clip - the knife does not stick out of the pocket at all.

This is my next Ruike knife. They are reliable and affordable. I use them every day, they are perfect knives for EDC. They stay sharp for a long time, do not rust, do not chip, and the mechanics work like new. I honestly recommend them to everyone.

Another knife that proves you can buy a really solid tool for little money. Good materials, great operating mechanics, very pleasant steel. This is a knife for every use. A few years ago I bought it as my first folder and since then I've been in love with it. Now I'm planning to buy a second one.

EDC classic - the size and weight of the knife are just right to always have it with you. The materials and craftsmanship are flawless, the flipper works lightly and smoothly, and the frame-lock holds perfectly.
-
A cool knife for everyday use. You can feel it in the hand and it clicks nicely when opening.
-
Strong and solid, I recommend it
-
Probably the best choice at this price
-
One of the best folders you can find
-
Love at first cut. Simple and elegant, perfectly fitted, sharpens well, it runs on bearings so it opens like a dream. It will be hard to beat at this price.
