Ruike M661-TZ Folding Knife — Overview and Key Features
The Ruike M661-TZ is an updated version of the popular P661-B from the Ruike brand, designed as a reliable EDC tool for tourism, camping, and everyday use. The model retains the familiar design of the base knife but features improved materials and structural solutions, making it more durable with reduced weight.
The blade uses premium American 154CM steel with a balanced composition (approximately 1.1% carbon and about 14% chromium). The blade undergoes cryogenic treatment, increasing hardness to 58-60 HRC, ensuring long-lasting edge retention and enhanced corrosion resistance. The blade shape is a normal blade with a plain edge, the cutting edge length is 74 mm, and the blade thickness is 3.5 mm, ensuring reliable performance under increased loads without the risk of chipping.
The model's mechanics include smooth opening with a ball bearing and quick deployment with a flick of the wrist thanks to the thumb stud. A reliable Frame Lock is responsible for securing the blade in the open position. Multiple jimping is located on the spine of the blade, serving as a thumb rest for forceful or piercing tasks.
The handle combines lightness and strength: one side is made of TC4 titanium alloy, the other features a heat-resistant G10 fiberglass laminate overlay. Thanks to the use of titanium, the knife with a deep-carry clip weighs only 60 g. The full length of the knife when open is 169 mm. A one-sided metal clip is provided for convenient deep carry.
This folding EDC knife is suitable for a wide range of tasks: from daily parcel opening to complex outdoor work during hikes and camping. The design takes into account user needs for quick deployment, reliable locking, and comfort during prolonged use.
