Reate Knives designs and builds its high quality knives with immaculate fit and finish. The founder of Reate, David Deng, is a long time knife enthusiast with a background in mechanical design and manufacturing. Reate uses only the best blade steels gathered from around the world and never compromises on materials. Reate is changing the way the industry looks at knives made in China.
This K-4 Flipper features a blade made from satin finished M390 stainless steel, a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it due to its high concentration of vanadium and chromium carbides. Its unique powder metallurgical process also promotes a uniform carbide distribution and clean steel properties, making M390 a popular steel used in surgical cutting instruments and in applications requiring a high finish. It offers excellent corrosion resistance due to its high concentration of chromium. The blade can be easily deployed using the ambidextrous flipper and it has smooth action thanks to the bearing system pivot. The compound grind features a recurve, hollow ground edge and a piercing tanto tip.
The machined titanium handle has a sturdy frame lock and a tumbled anodized bronze finish. Stainless damascus forged by Damasteel is flawlessly inlaid into the show side of the titanium scales. The pivot collar is made from matching Damasteel. The ergonomic handle is chamfered to provide a comfortable grip -- even during extended use. The inside of the scales are skeletonized to reduce overall weight, making it easy to keep this knife close at hand. The titanium backspacer is notched to complete the handle. A lanyard can be added if some extra grip is desired. The titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Each knife comes with a zipper storage pouch, a small pocket pouch, a Reate patch, and a cleaning cloth.
