The Reate EXO Performance delivers an innovative combination of rugged construction, distinctive styling, and versatile cutting capability in a compact gravity knife. Built around the concept of “2 knives in 1,” this unique design contains two sharp blades, giving the EXO Performance added versatility while setting it apart from conventional folding knives.
Each 3.1-inch blade is crafted from Nitro-V steel and hardened to 60 HRC, providing a well-rounded combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The two blades feature contrasting finishes, with one receiving a rugged stonewashed finish and the other sporting a satin finish with serrations. This pairing gives the knife a purposeful appearance while offering two distinct cutting configurations in one compact package.
The green aluminum handle adds a bold yet rugged character to the design, while the distinctive diamond pattern provides texture and visual depth. Lightweight and durable, the aluminum construction keeps the EXO Performance easy to manage without sacrificing the solid feel you'd expect from a well-built knife. The diamond pattern reinforces its modern, mechanical aesthetic and gives the handle a distinctive look that stands out in any collection.
A stainless steel pocket clip finished in black PVD complements the green handle and provides a durable carry option. The contrasting black hardware gives the knife a clean, cohesive appearance while adding a subtle tactical edge. At just 4.58 ounces (130g), the EXO Performance offers a substantial feel without becoming unnecessarily heavy.
Measuring 7.6 inches open and 4.5 inches closed, the EXO Performance packs impressive capability into a compact footprint. The 0.118-inch blade thickness provides a practical balance between strength and cutting efficiency, while the 3.1-inch blades offer a useful working size for everyday cutting needs.
The gravity-operated mechanism is a defining characteristic of the EXO Performance, giving it a distinctive personality that separates it from traditional folding knives. Combined with its dual-blade configuration, the result is an unconventional design that's mechanically interesting and visually striking. It's an excellent choice for enthusiasts who appreciate innovative knife mechanisms and want something that stands out from the crowd.
Each knife comes packaged in a special box, making it ready for collection, storage, or presentation. From the green diamond-pattern aluminum handle and black PVD stainless steel clip to the dual Nitro-V blades with stonewashed and satin serrated finishes, every detail contributes to a rugged and contemporary package.
