Rapid Utility Knife (RUK) V2
The RUK V2 is a pocket size utility knife that uses standard utility blades and can be controlled all by one hand. It has a simple design to extend and retract the blade like you would with a sliding USB Flash drive but also locks in both the retracted and extended positions. It also has a bottle opener built right into the end that will never let you down. It also has a slot for a lanyard to be attached if needed.
Made in the USA
The second version of the RUK keeps the simplicity of the original RUK but has some added features that everyone has been requesting.
• Pry bar (Aluminum is for Light Duty tasks)
• Fishing line/string cutting opening
• 1/4″ hex for driver bits
• Plastic Pins for the blade to ride along (Edge saver) and keep the body together
• Easily disassembled for cleaning and care
From Tyler @ Gil-Tek:
I carry a knife on me every day and I had noticed I mainly use it for small things like opening boxes and such. I rarely use the entire edge of a blade and that is why I decided to design and build the RUK.
The RUK is a pocket size utility knife that uses standard utility blades and can be controlled all by one hand. It has a simple “Patented:10,919,164” design to extend and retract the blade like you would with a sliding USB Flash drive but also locks in both the retracted and extended positions. It also has a bottle opener built right into the end that will never let you down. It also has a slot for a lanyard to be attached if needed.
The body of the RUK is CNC machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum with a color anodizing finish. It is so slim and light you can’t even tell it is in your pocket!
