Curves the Right Places
Published: 10 months ago
Its finally back in stock and its updated! The Rike Knife Lamella caused quite the stir when it was released last year (and for good reason).
The machining on this thing is bananas. The handle frame comes as two pieces - one of those pieces that acts as somewhat of an outer shell. When unlocked by a small switch at the bottom of the knife, the outer shell slides off to reveal an interior framing with screws for disassembly. When the frame “shell” is on the knife, it all looks like singular-pieced frame with no external screws. Every part of this knife design flows together. It looks tactical and straight up menacing, with elegantly upswept blade that has a Persian feel.
This updated version has a much easier and safer disassembly. If you are going to attempt to disassemble, I absolutely recommend taping the blade the first time you do so. The New blade material is M390, hardened to 59-61. The blade length is just shy of 4” which makes it a sizable EDC if that's what you're going for. The blade came absolutely razor sharp (so sharp I was a little nervous handling it). Price is 355.00 which yeah isn’t cheap BUT for what you are getting, absolutely worth it in my opinion. I'll have to throw another video of this blade up because the quality is hard to showcase in this summary video. Rike Knife has just been on a whole other level the past couple of years.
