Reate EXO Exoskeleton Design Tanto CPM 3V Dark Burlap Micarta Manual OTF Knife

This product only ships within the 50 United States.

The Exoskeleton Design Reate EXO is a simple and ingenious manual out-the-front knife. Essentially a three-piece construction, the EXO consists of a blasted gray titanium frame, matching Micarta inlaid yoke and the blade. Operation is simple: hold the yoke in a pinch grip and let the frame drop. The blade slides freely in its track in the frame, tip the handle down to deploy and up to retract. Hold the frame and yoke together to secure the blade pin for use or carry. This version has a plain single edge Tanto blade of two-tone CPM 3V and dark burlap Micarta inlays.

Brand new directly from Reate Knives.

Blade: The Tanto blade is made from ultra tough CPM 3V with a balanced high saber grind, two-tone satin flats and dark stonewashed grinds, and a clean slicing plain single edge. The forward edge of the Tanto works well for cutting on flat surfaces and creates a secondary “point” useful for a variety of tasks.

Handle: With integral billet titanium construction on both yoke and frame and a large titanium pivot/stop pin the handle delivers exceptional strength. The simple design is easy to clean and maintain. While the knife is non-locking, the blade holds secure in position while gripping the handle. Strategic jimping and milled Micarta inlays ensure positive retention during use.

CPM-3V: A high carbon alloy steel that is extremely tough and has enough chromium to have some corrosion resistance. Care and maintain is required. High toughness translates to a stable edge that can be ground thin for enhanced performance. 3V has good edge retention, approaching VG-10 and CPM-154, with more than 3x the toughness.
