Hi guys, here are some brief introduction of Horizon-D (Horizon Ti & CF)
We use flat grinding instead of hollow grinding, which makes the blade stronger. The process of blade surface finishing, the satin finishing, the brushing of the upper part and finely honing of the flute are all done by hand. The line on handle beautifully matches the flute on blade when flipping open. The decorative pattern on the clamp can prevent slippery as well as a shining piont of this knife.

Now lets take a look to the small parts. All screws were newly custom made for Reate, all stainless steel and high strength with smoothand bright surface. The pillars were upgraded to 6AL4V titanium with golden anodizing.

Now lets see the inside. We make important changes for the inside structure.
Ball Bearing System
As for the most important part of the knife,we constantly strive for better. In Horizon-D,we use the newly developed multi-row ball bearing,36 beads, and of curse still black ceramic beads,
high-strength and never get rusty. And it is no need to talk about the advantage of multi-row ball bearing, you know it.

Reate Knives would like to talk a little bit about one important techniqueFreeze Edging Skill
As the final process for a blade, edging has a great effect on the performance of the knives, after all, the edge part is the main function area when using a knife. Normally, edging is operated on a high-speed running grinding wheel or grinding belt, which produces a very high temperature. Without a cooling system, the temperature on the edge goes up instantly to hundreds of centigrade, when it gets worse, it will burn and leave heat marks on the blade. Tempering or even annealing will happen on area of the edge where the temperature increasing instantly. It will harm the hardness and durability of the blade. Thats why some knives passing the hardness standard test but still easily get worn in actual use.
Reate Knives are using the freeze edging technique. During grinding, the temperature on the edge is controlled in a certain level of degree, which helps keep the hardness after the heat treating. Therefore, the sharpness and durability of the blade are assured. This helps bring the performance of the material to the best.
