532,83 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
K-4 Blue Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Satin, folding knife from the legendary Reate Knives manufactory. Titanium Handle with Carbon Fiber inserts, RWL34 blade steel. Stunning workmanship and the finest materials are the hallmark of knives from this company. Such quality is something many western manufacturers can only dream of. And we are writing about a production knife!
Reate is a brand synonymous with the construction and production of high-quality knives. Its founder, David Deng, has been a knife enthusiast for a long time, with a background in mechanical design and manufacturing, constantly striving for excellence in all knife designs produced by Reate. Precision EDM wire cutting, high-speed CNC engraving, laser engraving, milling operations, CNC grinding, low-temperature tempering ovens, custom hand finishing, to name just a few of the professional tools they use in the manufacturing process. High-quality blade steel and production materials are purchased directly from the USA, Germany and Japan. Common steels used in our manufacturing process are: Bohler M390, S35VN, S30V, S90V, VG10, RWL34 and Damascus. Handle materials we use include: 6AL4V titanium, carbon fibre, G10, copper, aluminium, wood and also natural materials.
RWL34 is a steel produced by powder metallurgy based on ATS34 steel. ATS34 steel was developed by Japan's Kobe Steel for ball joint applications. Internationally renowned knife maker Robert W. Loveless started using this Japanese steel for knives because of its amazing properties. Damasteel improved the properties of the ATS34 steel by powder metallurgy, producing a purer material. The version produced by powder metallurgy was named RWL after Loveless.
Blade - drop point type, finished in a strikingly elegant Satin method. The generous belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade, converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The blade has a mixed grind, the back end is a high, concave grind for cutting and precision work known as the Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front, we have a high, flat ground to reinforce the Flat Ground tip. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade is brought out at the top. A multi-row ball bearing system ensures an extremely smooth opening of the blade with the index-finger flipper when opened acting as a stag. A section of the back of the blade is covered with the upper jimping, a notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole thing is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert that prevents the face of the lock from rubbing off.
Handle - in 6AL4V titanium, the artful Carbon Fiber inserts contrast beautifully with the titanium. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The grips are joined together with a titanium backspacer. A section of the back and the backspacer are covered with upper jimping, a notch that improves grip confidence. The simplicity and robustness of the construction offer the assurance of many years of use. The single-position (right) clip, milled from a single piece of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in the tip-up position. Behind the clip is a place to thread a safety or decorative cord.
Carrying case - a soft zipped nylon case with the manufacturer's logo is included for safe storage and transport of the folder.
