The Pivot Lock, ceramic ball bearings, double-sided thumb stud, and reversible tip-up clip reinforce the practical nature of this folder.

Nitro-V – stainless steel for everyday use

Nitro-V is a stainless steel developed with a focus on good corrosion resistance, edge stability, and high impact resistance in everyday use. In the PL-XT V2 model, it performs well when cutting cardboard, tape, plastic wrap, cord, packaging, and small utility materials. A hardness of 60 HRC provides a practical balance between edge retention and the ability to efficiently maintain the blade using ceramic, water stone, or a diamond sharpener.

Drop point and flat grind – universal EDC geometry

The drop point profile provides good tip control, predictable blade guidance, and the versatility needed for everyday tasks. The flat grind facilitates smooth gliding of the blade through materials, making the knife well-suited for longer cuts through cardboard, plastic film, and plastics. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, technical look and complements the natural character of the olive wood handle.

Olive Wood and Pivot Lock – a natural grip and intuitive lock

The handle made of Olive Wood provides a warm, natural feel in the hand and sets this model apart from designs made of synthetic materials. Beveled edges reduce sharp pressure points, and the textured surface improves grip stability during everyday cutting. Pivot Lock is integrated into the pivot axis and allows you to unlock the blade by squeezing the mechanism with your fingers, providing convenient operation without the need to slide a traditional lock bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to care for and sharpen the Nitro-V steel in the Reate PL-XT V2 model?

Nitro-V steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, sweat, food, or debris from cut materials. Ceramic, a water stone, or a diamond sharpener with a moderate grit are good options for sharpening, as Nitro-V allows you to efficiently restore a sharp, even edge.

How does the Pivot Lock work?

Pivot Lock is a lock integrated into the pivot axis, which is released by squeezing the mechanism with your fingers. This solution allows you to quickly unlock the blade without the classic sliding motion of a liner lock or frame lock, but when folding, you still need to control the blade’s movement and keep your fingers away from the cutting edge.

What makes the Olive Wood handle stand out?

Olive Wood gives the knife a natural, elegant look and feels pleasant in the hand. Olive wood is a good fit for an EDC folder because it combines the aesthetics of a natural material with a practical grip and greater individuality in each piece.

What tasks is the Reate PL-XT V2 Olive Wood best suited for?

The Reate PL-XT V2 Olive Wood is best suited for everyday EDC use, opening packages, and cutting cardboard, tape, plastic wrap, string, and small utility materials. The drop point profile, flat grind, and Nitro-V steel create a versatile combination for light to medium-duty tasks.

Does the right/left tip-up clip make it easier to carry daily?

Yes, the right/left, tip-up clip configuration allows you to adjust how you carry the knife to your preferred side. This is a practical solution for both right- and left-handed users, especially in a knife intended for regular EDC use.
