Reate PL-XE, PVD Nitro-V, Black Micarta, pocket knife

The Reate PL-XE, PVD Nitro-V, Black Micarta is an elegant EDC pocket knife from Reate's PL series. PL in this case stands for 'Pivot Lock'. This innovative locking mechanism is similar in operation to CRKT's Deadbolt lock, but differentiates from it by retaining the smooth feel of a button lock. The knife can be opened quickly using the thumb hole combined with the 'oversized' ball bearings. When open, there is the option to push the slider forward, which prevents the Pivot Lock from being pressed. This prevents accidental folding during use! The kink in the handle means ergonomics are more than excellent, and you can use the full blade for cutting vegetables while camping, for example, without obstruction by the handle. The attractive deep-carry pocket clip allows you to carry the PL-XE discreetly and effortlessly.
