236,02 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Venom Dark Gray Titanium, Battle-Worn DLC LE, designed by Six Fingers, is an example of an EDC tool that combines precision craftsmanship with versatility in an extremely compact form. This is not a classic folding knife—the design was developed as a hybrid of a folder and a multitool, in which every component serves more than one purpose. As a premium manufacturer, Rike consistently prioritizes material quality and attention to detail, which is clearly evident in this model. The blade, made of Böhler M390 steel, features a B tanto (front edge)B profile and a B flat grindB , resulting in excellent control and edge stability. The Battle-Worn DLC coating enhances surface durability and gives the design a rugged, technical look. The entire knife has been optimized for precision tasks and work in confined spaces. The handle, made of 6AL4V Titanium, serves as the central element of the system—it integrates a pry bar, a flathead screwdriver, and a bottle opener, expanding its applications beyond typical cutting tasks. Its compact form, distinct industrial aesthetic, and multi-functionality make the Venom appealing to both EDC users and collectors seeking non-standard designs.
Rike Knife – an independent brand founded by longtime knife enthusiast Richard Wu. With a background in mechanical design and manufacturing, he constantly strives for excellence and perfection, aided by a professional design team and his own independent factory. RikeKnife is an extraordinary brand rooted in original design, with the courage to be an innovator and challenge the traditional approaches used by modern knife companies. It uses only the highest quality materials to produce top-quality knives for customers around the world. Enjoying a well-deserved reputation in the knife world, the brand focuses on high-quality craftsmanship and an innovative approach to design. This has been recognized by, among others, the legendary American brand Microtech, which, for the first time in its history, commissioned the production of its own designs outside the U.S.—specifically to the Chinese company Rikeknife. These include the SOCOM Bravo and Anax folding knives, as well as the Kyroh Pen tactical pens.
M390 - a high-performance martensitic chromium steel produced using powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy composition, it features exceptionally high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to its high wear resistance, it retains its edge shape well, allowing the blade to stay sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another advantage is its resistance to “wire” formation during sharpening. Steel with a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr), alloyed with 1.9% carbon (C) and 4.0% vanadium (V), hardened to a range of 59–61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter’s CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) enhances the blade’s surface durability with a black, matte nanocomposite coating that exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion resistance. It is one of the most scratch- and wear-resistant coatings used in industry, including the cutlery industry.
Blade - with a tanto (front edge) profile. This geometry facilitates precise tip work and increases effectiveness in tasks requiring point pressure. At the same time, it maintains functionality during linear cuts, making the design more versatile than one might expect given its compact form. The flat grind is responsible for the cutting properties, ensuring smooth entry of the blade into the material and good control during use. This type of grind supports precision and allows for effective utilization of the short blade’s potential in EDC tasks. The surface is coated with Battle-Worn DLC, which increases wear resistance and reduces light reflections. The spine features finger grooves (jimping), which improve grip stability for more controlled operation. The mechanism is based on a slipjoint design, meaning there is no traditional lock and the opening is smooth and controlled—a solution consistent with the minimalist character of this tool.
Handle - made of 6AL4V titanium, it serves as the functional foundation of the entire tool. The surface texture improves grip and supports control despite the small size. The form is distinctly technical—with sharp lines and geometric transitions that emphasize the industrial character of the design. The most important element is the integration of additional functions. The handle features a pry bar, which allows for prying tasks without straining the blade, as well as a flathead screwdriver and a bottle opener. This solution significantly expands the range of applications and makes the model a practical tool for everyday use, rather than just a compact knife. The design is complemented by a lanyard hole, which enhances safety and customization options. The precision of craftsmanship and attention to detail remain at the level typical of Rike Knife, ensuring that the handle not only looks good but, above all, supports the functionality of the entire construction.
