It features a 3.5-inch clip point blade made from 154CM stainless steel—tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maintain. The belt satin finish enhances the blade’s clean lines while delivering dependable edge performance for everything from daily utility work to backwoods tasks. A ball-bearing flipper mechanism provides fast, fluid deployment, with a framelock to keep it solidly in place once open.
The bead blasted titanium handle scales offer a subdued, matte finish that feels smooth without being slippery. Topping them off is a carbon fiber overlay that adds visual depth and structural strength without excess weight. At 4.7 inches closed and just the right amount of heft in hand, this knife carries comfortably while still feeling substantial when in use. The integrated and removable Quick Draw system gives you fast access when time matters, and a precision-machined titanium pocket clip secures the knife for tip-up carry.
Built with the precision Reate is known for, the District 9 V2 brings together high-end fit and finish with field-ready features. From the streamlined handle profile to the balanced blade geometry, every inch of this knife is tuned for control, strength, and purpose-driven performance.
