They are very different knives. The beacon is thin and minimalist. The Seer is more hand-filling with a thicker handle and nicely rounded contours. Both have good action. The Seer has a better detent but the Beacon falls shut with less effort. It feels like the 3.63oz Beacon has a heavier blade and lighter handle while the 3.75oz Seer has a lighter blade and heavier handle. The difference in blade shape doesn't look like much visually but in actual use in context with the handles, they feel very different.

Interesting… Maybe I’ll have to pick one up.

Small custom shop out of the PNW by a dude named Ilya. This was a very limited batch of midtechs that were made by WE knife and finished by Ilya in his shop. Quality is phenomenal. I think only 100 were made.

Daaang. Now I’m wanting one. Always an unhealthy pastime.

Says the guy with the Starboy. 😉 I don’t know what you payed for it, but I’ve never seen a Reate sell for less than $200.

Lol you ain’t wrong! It was over $300. It was a tough buy for me though. I’m a knife steel junkie and the Starboy was the only RWL-34 knife that I could find at the time...

Great purchase though. Reate and We do make top quality products. Nothing bad to say about them at all. I just dislike communism.
