RUIKE P108 (P108-SF) Frame Lock Knife w/ Beta Plus Lock
The Ruike P108 is a stylish and modern pocket knife, with a great price-quality ratio. The design of the Ruike P108-SF is rather striking in terms of shape, but because of the modest use of colours very sleek. The handle has geometrically been shaped and enhanced with a couple of tactically placed facets, which makes it feel great in hand!
The RUIKE P108 knife features a solid stainless steel frame lock handle and an elegant flipper blade made from 14C28N stainless steel. This folder is equipped with the “Beta Plus” lock alongside the frame lock, which adds security and reliability to the overall blade lockup. Easy one-handed operation and a deep carry clip make the P108 a great addition to your everyday carry.
You can open the Ruike P108 with the flipper. Because of the steel ball bearings the blade will be released from the handle. When opened the frame lock will lock the blade, making it practically impossible to close when you don’t want it to. With the secondary lock, on top of the frame lock, you can secure it even better, which makes this blade feel really safe.
The neatly stonewashed metallic body is complimented by little details making this an exquisite EDC pocket knife.

(1) Sandvik 14C28N Stainless Steel, 58~60 HRC
Sandvik 14C28N is a martensitic stainless chromium steel with a chemistry optimized for high quality professional knife applications which put very high demands on edge sharpness, edge stability and corrosion resistance. As to this knife, the 14C28N is intensively processed by RUIKE using quenching and subzero treatment, which features an ideal hardness of 58~60 HRC.
(2) 3Cr14N Stainless Steel Handle, Stonewashed
The 3Cr14N stainless steel features high standard in toughness, abrasive resistance and corrosion resistance. In addition, the stainless steel handle is stonewashed, allowing authentically fine and comfortable sense of touch.
(5) “Beta Plus” Lock
Deploying the blade and pushing the “Beta Plus” lock can transform your pocket-size folding knife into a fixed-blade knife to handle more harsh conditions.
(6) Ball Bearing
The pivot that connects the blade and handle is a ball bearing structure, which ensures that deploying the blade is a safe, quick and smooth action.
Nick –
Pretty decent knife for the price point. I carry it every day. Comes with a very sharp edge and can be sharpened no problem. I like the “steam punk” appearance of the knife.. The finger trigger works very well, opens right up and very quickly. Feels well built, not flimsy at all. I think it’s a solid choice.
Apparently, the RUIKE brand owned by Fenix Lighting, so the quality and warranty is great.

This is a really excellent quality folding knife. The fit and finish are top notch, and it arrived hair popping sharp out of the box. The sand blasted matte frame, blue anodized fitting on the pocket clip, ball bearing rollers on the pivot and sliding lock to make it more secure when open make it seem more like a high end pricey knife from Microtech then a budget folder. When open it’s about 8 1/2 inches long and the shape is very much like a slim steak knife. The flipping action takes a firm effort but it snaps smoothly open with a nice loud click. It’s so nice I don’t want to carry it yet and it’s my letter opener right now, but eventually it will make it into my pocket for every day carry.
