Remette RT-Cool Whale Gray Titanium, Pearlescent M390 (RTCL-T1) – a premium folding knife with a Reverse Tanto blade

The Remette RT-Cool Whale Gray Titanium, Pearlescent M390 (RTCL-T1) is an advanced EDC folding knife that combines a titanium frame with high-performance Böhler M390 steel. The model features a Reverse Tanto blade profile, a Hollow Grind, and a Pearlescent finish, which gives the blade an elegant, technical look. The handle, made of Titanium 6AL4V, ensures rigidity, durability, and low weight, while the Frame Lock stabilizes the blade during use. Opening via a flipper or a thumb stud, operation on ceramic ball bearings, and a titanium tip-up clip make this model a refined EDC folder for users expecting premium quality.

Böhler M390 – premium steel for demanding EDC

Böhler M390 is a powder-metal steel valued for its high wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. In the RT-Cool Whale model, it performs well when regularly cutting everyday materials such as cardboard, tape, packaging, cord, plastic film, and small plastic items. A hardness of 60–62 HRC enhances the blade’s performance, particularly where edge durability and reduced sharpening frequency are key. This steel is suitable for a premium folding knife designed to combine elegant craftsmanship with practical performance.

Reverse Tanto, Hollow Grind, and Pearlescent Finish

The Reverse Tanto profile gives the blade a strong, technical character and improves control during precise scoring, tip work, and cutting along a designated line. The Hollow Grind supports a more aggressive edge geometry, facilitating smooth entry of the blade into the material while maintaining good control. The Pearlescent finish highlights the quality of craftsmanship, giving the surface a subtle pearlescent effect. As a result, the blade combines the functionality of an EDC tool with the aesthetics characteristic of more collectible premium folding knife variants.

Ceramic ball bearings, flipper, and thumb stud

The pivot mechanism is based on ceramic ball bearings, which support smooth, fast, and consistent blade opening. The user can open the knife using the flipper or the thumb stud, choosing the method depending on the situation and personal preference. The two opening methods enhance the folder’s practicality, and the manual design remains intuitive, precise, and comfortable for everyday use. Once open, the blade is secured by the Frame Lock, which is well-suited to the titanium handle construction.

Titanium 6AL4V – Lightweight, Rigid, and Technologically Aesthetic

The handle, made of Titanium 6AL4V, ensures high rigidity, resistance to daily wear and tear, and a favorable weight-to-durability ratio. The gray finish emphasizes the model’s industrial character, while the milled surface adds depth to the construction and improves grip control. The titanium backspacer maintains the material consistency of the entire folder, while the clip made of Titanium 6AL4V in a right-hand, tip-up configuration allows for comfortable carrying of the knife in a pocket. This is the solution for users who expect not only functionality but also refined details.

Pouch included – protection during transport

The included Pouch makes it easy to store and transport the knife outside your pocket. The pouch protects the folder from contact with other gear, making it ideal for a bag, EDC organizer, or when storing a collection. For the model with a titanium handle and Pearlescent finish, this accessory is particularly important, as it helps preserve the tool’s appearance during transport. It’s a practical addition to a premium-class folder.
