birdave can you tell me the model of this Reate? Very nice. As always, love your pics

 

[birdave]

Terry,
Thanks for the compliments. It's a Reate Tiger with Arctic Storm scales. No hardware is visible, other than the pivot. They make six models of these. One with Black Camo carbon fiber, the one I posted here, one with copper Camo carbon fiber, one with red lava carbon fiber and two all titanium...one checkered and the other with lines. The four models with the cf scales have mokuti pivot rings and the two all ti. versions have zirconium pivot rings. Merry Christmas to you and yours and All the Best in '24! Stay safe.

This one is still in the mail. Will be here next week I hope. My first customized preorder.

If that's the Mini Kephart, I've been EDC-ing one for a few years now. Excellent weight/performance ratio (never mind the "politics"). I think you'll enjoy it.

I need to ask about those ropes at the end of the handles. What's the function or purpose?

Thank you! It's the 4" for kitchen duty. I already liked how the Bravo 1 LT, the Tundra and the Aurora 2 performed in that role, so I thought an even thinner blade will be really outstanding.
I EDC an ULB, PSK and mini Tundra. Pretty happy with those too.

Got one of these yesterday, RICKSTER!
I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Those are called lanyards. They can make it a bit easier to get the knife out of your pocket or sheath. Or on a small knife it can give your pinky something extra to hold onto
A lot of people like the way they look too
