I just had an email that these are in stock. I am curious about these. I'm hung up on a Chinese knife costing this much but I love the look of these. Any feedback good or bad please folks. Oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I've never heard of them before, so checked it out. I do like the blade shape, I'm not sure if the package is worth ~$350 though. M390 (not D2 as I mistakenly said) blade and Ti handle, it is up to you. If you really like it and you can get it at a cheaper price than RRP, go for it?

Yay.
If the model suits your taste don't let the origin hold you back.
The Ultramar line is made by Reate, top quality.

I'm seeing M390?
 
They are in demand and great knives. A Chaves custom will be north if $1,000. I see they bumped the price up from $299, not surprising. I cant imagine you will be disappointed.
 
I bought one used recently and I'm very happy with it. Been carrying it since I got it. I'd get one new if I could as they're persistently out of stock.
 
Reate makes nice knives.

I see they come equipped with the duck-billed skull pocket clip, lol.
 
It doesn't appeal to me; so, nay... but I don't doubt that the quality is there. If you like/want it, go for it.
 
They look like nice knives, I don't mind the clip. I'd get it in the tanto version but I think that's very hard to find.

Chaves custom for 1k?? I wish, a CAMK 228 midtech will cost you 800-1200. A Chaves custom will cost you north of 2,500, his customs are ridiculously expensive and rare. I paid 850 for my CAMK 228 and have been looking for custom for a long time and haven’t found one yet. You can find a liberation custom for under 2k, but the cheapest Redencion I’ve seen was right at 2,500 for a Gen 3 and Gen 4s are 3-4k. If you see a Redencion for just over 1k buy that thing in a second cause you got the knife deal of a lifetime.
