The Hunter 1 is a bold expression of Rike’s modern design language, combining sweeping lines, premium materials, and refined ergonomics into a knife built to perform as confidently as it looks. Sculptural yet purposeful, the Hunter 1 balances elegant form with a strong cutting presence, resulting in a platform that feels equally at home in collection and carry.
Its 3.54 inch blade is crafted from CPM S90V, a high performance stainless steel chosen for exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion performance. The blade features a compound ground drop point profile, pairing a hollow ground belly for slicing efficiency with a flat ground tip for added control and durability. This dual purpose geometry gives the Hunter 1 both visual distinction and practical versatility, whether used for detailed work or everyday cutting tasks.
The handle is built from 6AL4V titanium and enhanced with striking carbon fiber inlays, creating a clean contrast between structure and texture. Offered in two colorways, Carbon Rust and Blue/Green Marble Carbon Fiber, each configuration is paired with anodized pivot accents that add an extra layer of depth and individuality. The handle’s curved, ergonomic profile is designed to sit naturally in hand, delivering comfort and control through extended use.
Deployment is smooth and versatile, utilizing both a front flipper and thumb studs for multiple opening options. The liner lock engages securely and reliably, while the overall proportions of the knife provide a balanced feel that remains substantial without becoming cumbersome. At 4.94 ounces, the Hunter 1 carries with reassuring presence while maintaining the refinement expected from Rike.
Bold, elegant, and unmistakably modern, the Hunter 1 stands as a confident new addition to the Rike lineup.
