When you're packing your kit for a weekend in the backcountry, space and weight are everything. You have your heavy-duty fixed blade on your belt for the serious chopping, but you always need a reliable, fast-deploying folder in your pocket for the dozens of small utility tasks around camp.
The original all-steel P801 has been a budget darling in the everyday carry (EDC) community for years. But its full-steel construction made it a bit heavy for weight-conscious hikers and portage enthusiasts. Ruike answered that problem with the P801-G, swapping the presentation side of the handle for a textured green G10 scale.
Does this weight reduction make it the perfect backcountry pocket knife? Let’s dive straight into the hard specs.
