Details

Reate Knives brings us this full titanium version of Faisal Yamin's wicked Persian flipper the Valhalla. High quality construction and materials allow the Valhalla to perform exceptionally complementing the striking, ergonomic design. This version comes equipped with plain titanium handle scales and a rugged Stonewash finished RWL34 blade.

The Blade: Produced by Damasteel of Sweden, RWL34 takes an amazingly sharp edge with enhanced performance thanks to David's proprietary cryogenic heat treatment technique. During grinding, the temperature on the edge is controlled to a precise degree which helps maintain hardness after heat treat assuring optimal performance. The sweeping Persian-style blade comes with a high height saber grind for durability and a nearly full length, clip point swedge. Decorative fullers on the blade add another level of detail to this already spectacular blade. The blade rides on a ceramic bearing pivot for fast, smooth flipper deployment.

The Handle: Two solid slabs of titanium are milled and chamfered for in-hand comfort and precision fit with the milled titanium backspacer for rock solid construction. The integral frame lock is secure and smooth with a removable steel lock face insert for longevity. The backspacer is jimped for enhanced traction and a generous hole is provided for lanyard attachment.

A 3D Machined Ti Pocket Clip follows the curve of the handle and is set up for right hand, tip-up only carry.

Ships in a Reate zipper pouch with microfiber cloth.
