Reate Knives would like to talk a little bit about one important technique—Freeze 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. That’s 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.

Thanks for your time.

Wow, that knife looks pretty incredible. You guys are doing a great job!

 

[Spinny]

At 3.76 oz, most impressive. I'll almost certainly be picking one of these up. Hopefully they'll be priced below the Begg Steelcraft line.

 

[Basp2005]

All it needs is the wave feature.

 

[JackalopeSTICKER]

Is it made in China or USA?

ReaTe is a Chinese company, so most definitely China.

 

[stonproject]

hoping this will be affordable! looks good. any ideas on street price?

 

[Muet d'hiver]

It's supposed to be 375$

 

[Hackenslash]

I wish this was 3" and looked..."simpler". I might pick one up anyway if the price makes sense.

 

[victorinox]

Looks great! Will there be colour options?

As a knife company using this forum to promote their wares, would it not stand to reason that they should be a supporting member?

It is a nice looking piece, but due to that oversight, I will pass on it.

There are plenty of knives in that price range that I would be happy to carry.

Seems that they are paid members, just didn't have their user group updated when I originally posted the above.

I would be willing to give it a shot if I had the funds available due to their willingness to support the place they choose to advertise on (and that we frequent).

 

[sharp_edge]

There is even a Reate subforum so I guess it is a supporting member, isn't it? Still, it is knid of rare to see a manufacturer advertises in the General Discussion Forum.

They have a subforum. Quick to judge and pounce aren't we. I guess now you will buy one? Lmao

Nope, it's just on the radar. But the sentiment stands, just the target isn't an accurate one.

I don't think you have to be sponsor to have a subforum. You just need to provide an employee moderator, and the subforum is free. That was the impression I got from one of Esav's recent posts.

I agree. What if all the makers and dealers and companies posted their newest items in General Knife Discussion? The place would soon get flooded.

I would like to see a less ornate version with S35VN, so it could be sub $300.

Yep! +1.

And as far as posting a knife announce in General; in the past Reate has posted knife announces in their sub-forum, I think this was put in General in error. I'm sure it will find its way to where it needs to be...

They did it a ton before they got their own forum. They have also done it since. Again, imagine if all companies did this. General would be one big add.
