Reate - an independent brand synonymous with the construction and production of unparalleled quality knives. Its founder, David Deng, a long-time knife enthusiast with experience in mechanical design and manufacturing, constantly strives for excellence and perfection, helped by a professional design team and his own factory. Reate Knives an unconventional brand that has the courage to become an innovator and challenge the traditional solutions used by modern knife companies. It uses only the highest quality materials to produce perfectly crafted tools. Enjoying a well-deserved reputation as a leader in the world of knives, the brand relies on the highest possible quality of workmanship and an innovative approach to design.

Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and sickle-shaped blade, which is characterized by tremendous cutting efficiency. Hawkbill mimics the way an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw rips through, piercing and cutting simultaneously. Used as a working knife and for defense.

N690 - Cobalt-rich 1.65% (Co) corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C) martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened in the range of 58-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) - the resistance of the surface of the wedge and cutting edge is enhanced by a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.

Blade - Hawkbill type, covered with scratch-masking black PVD coating. Plain blade allows effective cuts with the entire cutting surface as well as with the ultra-thin tip. The high Flat Grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Opening is both simple and impressive, Release the lock, a slight swing to one side, the blade unfolds, a slight swing to the other, the lock stops them in the open position. A reliable and proven button lock is used here.

Handle - non-slip textured grips for better grip made of aluminum. The chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges and the textured surface improves grip confidence. Fore Finger Groove, a deep cut under the index finger and a finger ring back ring / tail ring / pommel ring prevent the knife from slipping when the going gets tough. If you don't want to use the ring, you can simply unscrew it. A novel solution is the possibility of moving the lock button to the other side, so we really get a knife for right and left-handers. A two-position (right/left) clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position.

Accessories - the knife comes with a training knife in blue, with a blade without a cutting edge. Before playing tricks with opening the real blade, you can practice it "dry" with the trainer.
