What is a RUI knife?
RUI knives (an acronym for RUI Tactical Knives) are modern tools designed for tactical, military, outdoor, and rescue use. These knives are made by an internationally recognized Spanish brand that has earned a prominent place in the cutlery world thanks to its innovation, durability, and ergonomic design.
Manufactured by Tactical Knives RUI, these knives are inspired by the military, but have been adopted by hikers, campers, law enforcement, and discerning collectors.
RUI knives stand out for their use of stainless steel with special coatings, anodized aluminum or non-slip rubber handles, and robustness designed for extreme conditions.
Although they are modern knives, they inherit the tradition of quality from Spanish cutlery, which dates back centuries.
Types of RUI knives and their uses
RUI offers a wide variety of models, adapted to different uses. Here we review some of the most representative ones:
RUI Energy Tactical Knife
One of the most popular, designed for law enforcement and demanding tasks. It features a tanto or drop-point blade, an ergonomic handle with a non-slip grip, and a quick-release system. Its design allows it to cut seatbelts and glass in rescue situations.
RUI Titanium Coated Pocket Knife
This line includes models coated with titanium , which increases resistance to corrosion and wear. It's ideal for those who engage in activities in extreme conditions, such as mountain or humid climates.

Pocket knife with a combination blade (smooth and serrated), a built-in flint lighter, a glass breaker, and a belt cutter. Perfect for backpackers and adventurers. Includes a Molle nylon sheath.
RUI K25 pocket knife
One of the best-selling. It has a clear military aesthetic and often includes a serrated blade, a glass breaker, and a quick-locking system. Widely used by police and rescuers.
RUI camouflage knife
With a digital camo or multicam finish, these knives combine functionality with tactical aesthetics. They typically have a rubber handle and a blade coated with anti-reflective paint.
All RUI knives are designed to offer reliability, a firm grip, and resistance to daily or intensive use, without sacrificing design or accessibility.
Basic maintenance of a RUI knife
Although they are built to last, RUI knives require care to extend their useful life, just as with other types of tools and, particularly, bladed weapons, and it does not differ particularly from the care required for the maintenance of other knives:
- Frequent cleaning: Remove dirt, mud or debris after each use with a damp cloth.
- Immediate drying: Avoid leaving moisture on the blade or mechanisms.
- Light lubrication: Apply specific oil to the hinge to maintain smooth opening.
- Moderate sharpening: Use a stone or diamond-type sharpener to maintain the edge without damaging it.
- Store in a sheath: Protects the blade and opening system from unnecessary bumps or scratches.
A brand that integrates the classic and the modern
The RUI pocket knife represents the union of Spanish knifemaking tradition and modern tactical design. It's durable, functional, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing, earning the trust of both professional users and outdoor enthusiasts.
Whether in the wild, on rescue missions, or as part of a collection, RUI knives are a reliable and durable tool, although, of course, they are not the only ones that can meet these standards of quality and design.
