Showing the Ruike M61 multifunction knife, which has a tool set similar to a Victorinox Craftsman or Tradesman. Ruike has said this knife is going to be available on Amazon and at Fenix Outfitters, however I have not seen any in stock yet. In the meantime, check out the text box for the Ruike Website as well as Boker Tech-Tools and Victorinox Swiss Knives.
Ebay has the ruike m61 for around $59-69. I have the LD51, very nice 3.25" blade, pliers, saw, scissors, Phillips and straight driver and serrated seat belt cutter. I like it better than my victorinox Handyman.
The Ruike line is a nice small step up from SAK models with equivalent features. The knife blade is the main upgrade, and it takes and holds a better edge than the ones on a Vic. I swapped out the corkscrew for a Phillips head, as the potions I drink require a winged cork remover. The serrated blade it moderately useful, and I did consider swapping it out for a can opener, but any can opener I use puts too much pressure on the spring, even after some grinding. I’ll keep playing till I can make one fit.
I ordered one of these from Amazon, and they sent me the $40 M-31 instead of the $65 M-61. Hopefully they send me the right one next time, because it seems like the perfect knife to keep in my work/"get home" bag. I wish it had a can opener, but I'm planning in carrying a P38 can opener anyway.
I got the Ruike Hornet(small fixed)not to long ago and I love it, really good quality. They're a Canadian company but manufacture in China, over all I would say they are a good company
sergio perez I have medium size hands and it fits good, the handle would be to small for xl hands. They do have a larger one with a way bigger blade but it's to big to EDC
Sergio Reyes thanks for the reply I was looking and it has a 4.25 handle so I'll give it a shot my hands are long so I might be able to use it comfortably have carried a crkt minamalist wich looked pretty funny in my hands
The tip of that rescue cutter does not appear to have been designed to be a screwdriver, but rather to slip between a person's body and a safety belt. It's intended to be used in a pulling motion which forces the blade open, not in a pushing motion where it could snap shut on the user. The LD51-B is similar to a Vic Workchamp, except it lacks a file, but is still 1.24 ounces heavier than it. The Ruike's best features are the thumb stud, the pocket clip, and that rescue cutter, which has kind of grown on me.
Love the almost full size tweezers! I keep losing my Victorinox tweezers. There so damn small they jump right out of ur hand and disappear. I wish the high end brands would take note. Those tweezers would be a sweet upgrade to the old faithful Victorinox knives!
Yeah the tweezers are a great addition, the Boker Tech-Tools do not have them, they have a depression to reverse the pocket clip instead. I think in the future the Bokers might add the tweezers though, maybe on the opposite scale.
Good review and nice job figuring out the origin of the Böker multitools. There are also Sanrenmu multitools that look very much alike. Pretty sure it comes from the same factory. But who is really producing all these multitools? My bet is that it is Sanrenmu or perhaps another company producing anonymously for the 3 of these brands...
I have several of these Ruike multi-tools, and found them to be very well made...noticabley stronger (steel liners) than Victorinox. My only problem is the inclusion of the offset serrated smallblade/screwdriver...a useless and dangerous tool for the most part (except for a rescue tool). These Ruike's are a viable alternative to SAK's. Also check out the Evogrip & Rangergrip SAK's (made in Delemont, the old Wenger factory), as these are also something a bit different, with the Rangergrip knives having 4" blade & saw.
All I've heard from my Friends who got some Ruike Knives is very positive. Had no reason to suspect the multitool would perform otherwise. Interesting stuff about the Böker Branding though.
An interesting item that. I'd be more tempted with it if it had a cross-head driver though. Still, if they start to sell them here in the UK I might be tempted ( depending on the price of course ).
Yeah, they ought to add a flat driver head to the end of the file, and replace the cutter tool with a cross driver, and they should make the corkscrew able to accept a Victorinox micro driver, this would give them 4 useful drivers vs. the 2.
They are all made by Sanrenmu. When the Ruike guy said "we do" he was bullshitting you, not wanting to reveal that they contract Sanrenmu. Ruike is just another company buying out of the catalog like Boker did, with some changes in tool options/scales.
as in spain u cab carry a knife, if you can explain why u needed it. so around built up areas you can't just carry a folder. so if I could find a decent sized bladed knife, that could pass for a multitool, then I still have a decent edc knife
I think that Screwdriver Tip on the Serrated Blade was a "Why Not? It'll fit." Me, I'd just round it off with a File and use that Blade to cut Rope, strike a Ferro Rod and as an Emergency Seatbelt Cutter. Nice Vid.
Hey Israel. I don't me to be a pain in the ass but, I've loyally watched all of your videos and have never seen a video on how to sharpen a fixed or folding knife without scratching the spine. Not all of us are knife experts. I have a Work Sharp portable field sharpener and would appreciate if you could demonstrate the procedure. All I can do is ask.
If it's a small knife, with fairly thin blade (like a Spyderco Delica or Victorinox SAK), I use the Spyderco Sharpmaker. I am not as good at sharpening as some of these guys on here that can actually charge money for their sharpening, but here is my old video on the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker: th-cam.com/video/Pv0zcNx4BDg/w-d-xo.html
They are not in US stores yet, but sit tight. I am sure that soon they will be. BladeHQ, Knifecenter, and Fenix Outfitters are official Ruike distributors, so eventually they will have them up.
I like the looks of that tool. But I have just never been a fan of that style of multitool. I like the Leatherman style of multitool. Between my Leatherman wave, Squirt pliers, scissors & electrical I am more than covered for any situation I encounter that needs a quick fix or some repair or persuasion.

WeAllJuggleKnives Any idea of cost for the M61? Can't find anywhere.
i got one and may it be helpful: www.fenixoutfitters.com/fenix-ruike-knife-m61-stainless/
Do they do this model with a Philips on the back a la craftsman?
Ebay has the ruike m61 for around $59-69. I have the LD51, very nice 3.25" blade, pliers, saw, scissors, Phillips and straight driver and serrated seat belt cutter. I like it better than my victorinox Handyman.
Very nice tool set. I like the size of the pliers on this multitool because it complements the pliers of a common multitool.

The Ruike LD51-B is also awesome, you need one . Thanks.
Very nice knife and brand I am thankful of you for introducing them I'll keep them in mind next time I am in the market for a new multi tool

Is the metal file actually a saw too like the some Victorinox knives have?
I got the Ruike Hornet(small fixed)not to long ago and I love it, really good quality. They're a Canadian company but manufacture in China, over all I would say they are a good company
Good to know! I am definitely going to keep an eye on them!
Sergio Reyes how's that knife been working out for you I plan on buying it I have xl hands do you think it will fit ok
sergio perez I have medium size hands and it fits good, the handle would be to small for xl hands. They do have a larger one with a way bigger blade but it's to big to EDC
Sergio Reyes thanks for the reply I was looking and it has a 4.25 handle so I'll give it a shot my hands are long so I might be able to use it comfortably have carried a crkt minamalist wich looked pretty funny in my hands
Great vid, this tool appears to have everything I need
I'm glad you found one for you!

Now I have some new problems for my budget!.....Thanks to you ;)
Very good video, as usual.
Welcome, buddy!
Love the almost full size tweezers! I keep losing my Victorinox tweezers. There so damn small they jump right out of ur hand and disappear. I wish the high end brands would take note. Those tweezers would be a sweet upgrade to the old faithful Victorinox knives!

But who is really producing all these multitools? My bet is that it is Sanrenmu or perhaps another company producing anonymously for the 3 of these brands...
I think it is San Ren Mu, because years ago SRN they had some of these type tools for sale in other countries.
Is the Craftsman and the Handyman the same? I don't see a difference. Just ordered the Workchamp and a set of black scales.
They are the same except one has corkscrew in place of a phillips driver.
Any idea where I can find a Victorinox Craftsman? There's a couple in rough shape on eBay. Looking for a new one.
Ruike is Chinese pinyin. Their Chinese name is 銳可.
Its proper pronunciation sounds like Ray Ker.
I have several of these Ruike multi-tools, and found them to be very well made...noticabley stronger (steel liners) than Victorinox.

Where can I get one of these now? The amazon link is dead.
If I removed some of the tools from the knife and put it back together would it still function?
I think it would still work, and there would just be an empty slot there, but not 100% sure.
All I've heard from my Friends who got some Ruike Knives is very positive. Had no reason to suspect the multitool would perform otherwise. Interesting stuff about the Böker Branding though.
I like the M series in interms of size, but sadly they don't have any M series with one-hand opening blade like the L series does
I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
An interesting item that. I'd be more tempted with it if it had a cross-head driver though. Still, if they start to sell them here in the UK I might be tempted ( depending on the price of course ).

I am sure you are correct. Their wording was ambiguous when I asked them, but as long as it's not a counterfeit I'm okay with it.
Found this knife over at Battery Junction for $64.95. Might have to grab one and check it out.
what's the largest bladed multi tool?
as in spain u cab carry a knife, if you can explain why u needed it. so around built up areas you can't just carry a folder. so if I could find a decent sized bladed knife, that could pass for a multitool, then I still have a decent edc knife
I think the XL size Swiss Army Knives have the longest blades, likethe one-handed Trekker knife, I'm not sure if Spain considers those a multitool.
Thank you, will check them out#
I think that Screwdriver Tip on the Serrated Blade was a "Why Not? It'll fit." Me, I'd just round it off with a File and use that Blade to cut Rope, strike a Ferro Rod and as an Emergency Seatbelt Cutter. Nice Vid.
It's not even sharp ,it's for cutting the foil on wine bottles.
i want one of these more and more!
Do you have any experience with the Biker Plus Hunting Set?
Yes, made in Germany right? I have the LD51 ruike
Boker does sell the same knives, but they are all made in China, same factory, just different branding.
It’s awesome! But for me, a can opener is more essential than a bottle openner…
much better if had the can opener and replace the cork screw into philips screw driver. anyway nice video man
Exactly what i was going to comment, if they did it would be perfect.

how or where to buy them

cool tool how much?
I like the looks of that tool. But I have just never been a fan of that style of multitool. I like the Leatherman style of multitool. Between my Leatherman wave, Squirt pliers, scissors & electrical I am more than covered for any situation I encounter that needs a quick fix or some repair or persuasion.
Pocket clip is a problem makes a bad handling
You can remove it easily
this knife is good only if it doesn't have scissors and / or pliers
Sweet I like that man good review
Thank you ,bro!
"WE'VE ALL KNOWN A GIRL LIKE THAT" NICE!
No tin opener,,,no purchase for me
it's rikki
Cool. What does it mean?
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ruiki, it confuses me also, just have a fin on skype that corrected my pronunciation.
I think it's Chinese or Japanese though.
then i have no idea. was associating the middle europe/ scandinavian aspect. have one of those bokers, saw this one, so i asked him about it.
pretty sure my boker was made in romania, but not certain
they don't made this whit the metal file, because it gona make bankrupt victorinox!
