Reate T2500 Gray Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Satin M390 by Tashi Bharucha – a compact EDC folding knife with a Titanium / Marble Carbon Fiber handle

The Reate T2500 Gray Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Satin M390 by Tashi Bharucha is a compact EDC folding knife, designed for users looking for a lightweight premium folder with refined mechanics and an elegant gentleman carry profile. The Bohler M390 steel blade, drop point profile, flat grind, and satin finish create a combination focused on high edge retention, corrosion resistance, and precise cutting for everyday tasks. The handle, made of Titanium / Marble Carbon Fiber, combines the rigidity of a titanium frame with the lightness and decorative texture of a carbon fiber insert. The Frame Lock, flipper, ceramic ball bearings, and a right-side titanium tip-up clip emphasize the technical, pocket-friendly character of the T2500 model.

Bohler M390 – powder-coated steel for long-lasting edge performance

Bohler M390 is a premium powder steel, valued for its very high wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. In the T2500 model, it performs well when cutting cardboard, tape, plastic film, cord, and small utility materials, where the consistent performance of a small blade is crucial. A hardness of 61 HRC supports edge stability, but requires a diamond sharpener or a high-quality ceramic system for sharpening.

Drop point and flat grind – compact geometry for everyday cutting

The drop point profile provides good tip control and the versatility needed in a small EDC folder. The flat grind facilitates smooth blade glide through cardboard, envelopes, tape, and plastics, minimizing resistance during precise cuts. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, technical look that complements the elegant titanium and Marble Carbon Fiber handle.

Titanium / Marble Carbon Fiber and Frame Lock – lightness, rigidity, and a secure lock

The Titanium / Marble Carbon Fiber handle combines the high rigidity of a titanium construction with low weight and the decorative character of a carbon fiber insert. Bead-blasted titanium creates a subdued base, while Marble Carbon Fiber enhances the visual appeal without detracting from the knife’s practicality. Frame Lock stabilizes the blade when open, ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth flipper operation, and a titanium clip facilitates discreet pocket carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to care for and sharpen the Bohler M390 steel in the Reate T2500 model?

Bohler M390 steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, sweat, or debris from cut materials. For sharpening, a diamond sharpener or a high-quality ceramic system works best, as steel with a hardness of 61 HRC and high wear resistance requires an effective abrasive and stable angle control.

How does the Frame Lock work?

The Frame Lock uses a part of the titanium handle construction as a locking element to secure the blade when open. To fold the knife, slide the lock bar away from the base of the blade and carefully close the blade, keeping your fingers out of the path of the moving edge.

What makes the Titanium / Marble Carbon Fiber handle stand out?
