I believe that this knife is a work of art and shows the capabilities and extreme precision of Rike, however I won’t be getting one because my budget is limited and I have no real-life use for it. I do believe that it is worth every penny of MD price though. I was debating in getting one for my old lady but reality is that she couldn’t care less about knives and I would be getting it for myself LOL!
Which brings us to the point I am trying to make. I think Rike made one mistake with this offering. People that are most likely to be USING this knife will most likely be women that don’t carry an EDC knife but wouldn’t mind having a tiny knife to cut something the odd time they’ll have to (plus, it’s so preeeeeeetty!) The kydex sheath, while cool, was a bad choice IMO. Most women will not carry a neck knife. Most men that will carry a neck knife will most likely carry something a bit more …. huuumm …. manly and useful. IMO, what should have been included in this offering, is a nice tiny fitted leather pouch to match the knife instead of the kydex sheath (or even better, to complement the kydex sheath). This would have been a better match towards the demographic that this tiny knife targets to. Women could carry it in their purse. The odd men that would actually use this tiny knife could drop it in their pocket. This tiny work of art would be protected all around.
Just my 2c.
bdpfI agree but you gotta admit there's just something entertaining about a tiny titanium framelock ball bearing flipper with damasteel.

bdpfAs a man, I carry a larger knife when I know I’m going to be using it a lot or if I’m wearing jeans.
But if I’m wearing dress pants, I prefer a smaller and more decorative knife like this one.

Cyn1cTotally understandable and that's why my point was to explain why a small leather pouch would have been a better idea than the provided kydex sheath. It would take less space in your dress pants, protect the knife better and a leather pouch is classier than the kydex sheath, especially when wearing dress pants.
