    Default Knife recommendations.

    What does everyone think about Ruko knives. Have a chance to get a camo fixed blade reasonably cheap. Give me your thoughts.

    They look cheap compared to what they are copying. For the same price range a Mora would be a better tool, IMO.

    i'm not personally familiar with the company. they look like a place to get budget imitations of other maker's knives. like a flea market; i'd expect you get what you pay for.

    Cool Well, since you had to ask...

    I wouldn't own one, they look like cheap knock-offs of name-brand knives. Quite frankly I had to look them up because, until you posted, I'd never heard of them. No RH # is listed either. Remember, you get what you pay for. I'd recommend the Mora 2000 Survival knife over one of these.

    ps: Check out "Crashblades," word has it that he made the prototype for the Gerber/Bear Grylls knife!

    Can you give a review of them?

    Sometimes a guy can get a good'un for cheap.

    I highly recommend Ka-Bar knives. I have been using them for years and have never had a problem. They also come with a lifetime warranty. Dont buy them in stores because they cost a little much I think. I recently bought one that sells for around $100 in stores for $56 on the internet. They do have cheaper ones if that is still a little much for you. Go to www.tomarskabars.com. They are excellent to work with and ship very quickly. I hope this information may help you.
