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.

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.
M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - Drop Point type, finished with a scratch-masking Bead Blasted texture. The elongated belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. A mixed grind is used here, in the back part is a hollow grind for precision work called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front part we have a flat grind for heavier work. To improve piercing capabilities, there is a tapered swedge in the upper part. Ball bearing ceramic supports the opening of the blade with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper) when opened acting as a stag. We can also open the knife using a hole in the wedge. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face. Additional security is provided by two steel cylinders above the pivot, which, when pressed, positively lock the Blade giving the confidence to use at par with a fixed blade.
Handle - made of solid titanium 6AL4V, perfectly milled on CNC machine tools. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. On both sides there is an inlay (insert) made of Zircuti (damast made of titanium and zirconium). Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! The grips were joined together using a backspacer made of Zircuti. The single-position clip (right), from Zircuti, allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. On the back, a slide releases an additional lock in the form of two steel cylinders located above the pivot. The lock also works when the knife is closed, preventing accidental opening. The protruding section of the backspacer can be used as an improvised glass breaker and also has a hole for a safety or decorative cord.
