Reate EXO Exoskeleton Design Tanto Serrated CPM 3V Black 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 single edge Tanto blade of partially serrated two-tone CPM 3V and black canvas Micarta inlays.

Brand new directly from Reate Knives.

Blade: Made from two-tone CPM 3V with satin flats and dark stonewashed grinds the single edge Tanto blade is equipped with a balanced high saber grind, partially serrated edge and robust point for piercing. The forward edge of the Tanto works well for cutting on flat surfaces and creates a secondary “point” useful for a variety of tasks. CPM 3V provides exceptional durability and partial serrations handle any tough, fibrous materials.

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.

Carries via black leather belt sheath.

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.
