Reate EXO 2.0 D/P Black PVD Titanium / Black Micarta, Black PVD Elmax (EXO BLK.PVD.DP.BKM)

EXO 2.0 OTF Gravity Drop Point Black PVD Titanium / Black Micarta, Black PVD open intuitive, the largest folding knife in the EXO series produced by the legendary Reate Knives manufactory, a display of engineering in design. Gravity OTF (Out The Front) Blade extends from the front due to the force of gravity. Modeled on the design of the Luftwaffe gravity air knife, commonly known as the knife of German paratroopers. Intuitive blade ejection / retraction with one hand (under the influence of gravity) and the best materials, perfectly combined with the unmatched quality of the Reate brand !

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 is committed to the highest possible quality of workmanship and an innovative approach to design.

Elmax - considered "the best all-round knife steel" a modern alloy steel with a high content of 17.30% (Cr), carbon 1.70% (C), vanadium 3.00% (V), molybdenum 1.00% (Mo), silicon 0.80% (Si). Hardened in the range of 57-62 HRC. Produced by powder metallurgy method of mixing finely powdered materials, pressing to the desired shape, and then heating to sinter or bind the material. It is characterized by extreme edge holding, high wear and corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. Manufactured at Böhler-Uddeholm steel mills in 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 - Drop Point type . Covered with a black PVD coating . The backbone extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the slender blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. Thethickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Mechanical locking by snapping a section of the Handle onto the oval locking pin.

Handle - CNC-milled titanium Exoskeleton, an external skeleton with a movable top section responsible for opening and closing the knife. The chamfered edges of the sheaths eliminate sharp edges, and the perfectly matched Micarta composite inlays improve grip security. On the right side, an artful knife opening lock slider. After moving it to the secure "lock" position, the knife will not be opened/closed by accident. The single-position titanium (right) deep-carry clip allows you to discreetly carry the knife in your pocket in tip-down position (blade tip down).
