If you wanna buy it, buy it. If you don't, just leave this page. Simple. Before anyone of you guys freaks out. I can attest to their quality, reate's knives are actually very well put together. Steels were well treated and tempered. their knives have been in my carry rotation for months on end. Seeing alotta pocket time and use, required no sharpening, edges retention's good. Just stropping them is enough, Definitely on par with my direware and bodega. Have owned lousier made knives from striders and hinderers, sure, theyre built like "tanks", but the tolerances just werent there guys. blade plays, lock sticking, or what have you. have never experienced these sorta stuff from reate. and im sure most of you agree too, USA made knives doesnt necessarily mean its better in build quality.
