I went through a period where folding knives and multitools couldn't be heavy and mean enough. Now, I have rediscovered the simplicity and quality of the Swiss Army Knife. I was curious about this clone because it seemed to be the perfect size, falling between the tiny "rambler" (on the left) and the larger "waiter" on the right, both of which I keep on my desk. To the right of the waiter, I have added a "Compact", which is the more common 91mm. This Ruike, however, seemed to be an ideal in-between size: a bigger and sturdier knife and scissors than the rambler, but still smaller than the relatively small waiter. I am not disappointed. It has a lot in common with Swiss Army Knives: it looks and feels well-made and sturdy, it has a satisfying "snap" when you open or close it, it doesn't wobble, and it is sharp out of the box (although not as sharp as a Victorinox). It is heavier, even than the waiter, and because its three tools open to the same side, it is also fatter; however, there is a case to be made for a little more heft in the smaller knives. We'll see how it stands up to the ruthless abuse it gets at my desk (ie, cutting paper and the occasional hangnail), but I am pleased with it so far.
