CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Reate District 9 V2 with black DLC-coated blade and DLC-coated titanium handles is a no-compromise tactical folder built for those who demand stealth, strength, and precision in one streamlined package. Its 3.5-inch clip point blade is forged from 154CM stainless steel and treated with a tough black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating that resists wear, corrosion, and glare. Fast, decisive deployment is made easy with the ball-bearing flipper system, while the hardened framelock ensures a solid, confident lockup every time.
The handles are titanium with a matching black DLC coating that pairs perfectly with the blade for a cohesive, low-reflection profile. Carbon fiber overlays not only lighten the load but add structural strength and aggressive modern styling. At 4.7 inches closed, the District 9 V2 offers a full grip without overfilling the pocket, and the knife includes a removable Quick Draw system for fast deployment when every second counts. A DLC-coated titanium pocket clip rounds out the setup, offering secure, low-profile carry.
Every line, surface, and lockup on this knife is tuned to Reate’s exacting standards, making the District 9 V2 a blade you can depend on when conditions are unforgiving and failure is not an option. Whether you're in the field, on duty, or building out a top-tier EDC, this is a knife that brings relentless function with high-end fit and finish.
