To add, Rike are high end knives with examples like the tiny but awesome Hummingbird coming in around $150 and many of their offerings $300 and up, while Ruike, which is awkwardly apparently intended to be pronounced "Rake" if I understand correctly, is perhaps best known for the P801 which costs around $30 and is an all around excellent knife that looks great and works well.

essentially it’s apples to oranges. Ruike is a more budget friendly Chinese knife company with prices ranging about the same as American made Kershaws. Rike on the other hand is one of the high end knife companies based out of China that produces some really nice looking high end pieces. They are both pretty well known in their respective markets. I know more about Rike personally and have handled a few. They have really good machining in their handles but as far as blades they generally are form over function. They have really thick stock and aren’t the best cutters on the market. but overall if you’re ok with high end Chinese knives and you like their designs go for one because they are very high quality.
