Reate EXO-U V2 Diamond Pattern Gold Aluminum, Stainless Steel (EXO-U-V2 DGO) is a utility-style gravity knife designed for users who need a precise EDC tool with a replaceable trapezoidal blade. The stainless steel blade mount, Slide system mechanism, and Manual, gravity opening create a design focused on quick readiness for work and controlled cutting of utility materials. The handle, made of aluminum with a diamond pattern texture, provides a more secure grip, higher mechanical resistance, and good visibility in your gear. The Handle Lock, right-side clip, tip-down design, and compact size make the EXO-U V2 model well-suited as an everyday tool for packages, plastic wrap, cardboard, and technical tasks.
Stainless Steel – housing for replaceable trapezoidal blades
Stainless Steel in the EXO-U V2 model serves as a working frame for replaceable trapezoidal blades, rather than a classic knife blade with a fixed profile. This solution allows you to quickly restore full cutting efficiency by replacing the blade, without the need to sharpen the edge. The design works well for opening cardboard boxes, cutting film, tape, packaging, and disposable materials, where consistent sharpness and easy maintenance are important.
Slide system and Handle Lock – blade movement control
The Slide system ensures smooth extension and retraction of the blade housing in the EXO-U V2 gravity-fed design. The Handle Lock mechanism utilizes a movable handle element and a safety slider that helps reduce the risk of accidental opening or closing of the knife during transport. This combination gives the user quick access to the blade while requiring conscious operation and control of the mechanism’s movement.
Aluminum Diamond Pattern – grip, lightness, and visibility
The aluminum handle, constructed using the Exoskeleton design, provides the rigidity, low weight, and durability needed in a tool carried daily. The Diamond Pattern texture increases friction under the fingers, improving control when cutting cardboard, tape, and plastic film. The orange finish makes it easy to quickly find the tool in your pocket, bag, or toolbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I maintain and replace the blade on the Reate EXO-U V2?
With the EXO-U V2, you do not sharpen a traditional knife blade; instead, you replace the worn trapezoidal blade with a new one that matches the handle’s design. After use, it is recommended to clean the guide, remove dust from the cardboard or plastic wrap, and dry the steel components to ensure the mechanism operates smoothly.
How does the Slide System gravity mechanism work?
The Slide system allows the blade housing to slide in and out through the movement of the handle and the force of gravity. The mechanism requires careful handling, as the blade moves along the axis of the structure, and the user controls its position with hand movements and a safety lock.

The Reate EXO-U V2 is best suited for opening packages, cutting cardboard, plastic wrap, tape, labels, and disposable materials. The replaceable trapezoidal blade is particularly practical when quick sharpening is needed without having to sharpen a traditional blade.
