Chen is saying it is 50% new original design, 50% copy. very interesting to look at picture of original
s35vn, titanium, ball-bearing












 
ahaha some guy bought 100 pcs, (total 156 pcs made) and selling for 300$ in China and he don't want Chinese guys to know it is made in China. It is TWICE MORE higher than Chen's price=))) high profit...
 
What makes this a Reate knife? There is nothing on his facebook page about it, nor is it branded as Reate.
 
PLEASE! really need your help, guys. want to buy this design, but don't like replicas at all. if it is not very similar to original, i would buy immediately. any name or link will do...

If you like the knife just buy the knife. It looks more or less like 10 other titanium folders being produced right now. And those 10 folders all look more or less like each other as well.
 
Reminds me a bit of some the Shirigov 95... not sure at all. May not even be the right knife I'm remembering. Good luck on your search.
 
Thank you, but shirogorov 95 flipper is all different.
regarding similarity - fake is fake. not similar. stealed design. i don't like fakes. if it is just similar, then not stealed design.
 
i couldn't find any picture using google. Can you give a link? Who is manufacturer, at least?
 
The manufacturer is my friend of China who named Biaoge(BG), his logo just on the flipper.

The "BG" mark is by me.
I keep the 100 pieces.
Chen will release the other 56 pieces out of China,he doesn't release on his site,because there is no need,this knife is built excellent.
What you saw is semi-finished product
I can show you some photos about the Muntant with handmade works,and this is the version selling in China at $300,and it is of course made in China!
Why is the custom XM18 2-3 times more expensive than a production XM18?

That's right,it's not a copy.
Maybe when I designed it,I would reference from other great designs,like frame lock,ikbs,or replaceable lock insert,but that does not mean COPY
My partner chen did not explain too clearly.
Here is another version after final custom works.
I locate Mutant flipper is Mid-tech with highly customized.

Do you have a website or a place we can go to get more information on this design?
