REATE PL-7 Folding Knife 3.5 Inch Plain Belt Satin Drop Point REPL7-3

When you're searching for a high-performance everyday carry folding knife that combines refined aesthetics with unwavering reliability, the REATE PL-7-3 deserves a top spot in your rotation. Designed with precision and crafted from premium materials, this manual folder brings together cutting-edge craftsmanship and practical functionality in one sleek, modern package.

At the heart of the PL-7-3 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade forged from Nitro-V stainless steel—a high-performance alloy known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It’s finished with a clean and elegant belt satin treatment that not only enhances its visual appeal but also resists wear. The blade’s plain edge and .15-inch thickness strike a perfect balance between slicing efficiency and durability, making it ideal for everything from daily utility tasks to more demanding cutting needs.

The flipper tab paired with the pivot lock mechanism offers smooth, intuitive one-handed deployment and solid lockup, so you can rely on the knife to stay firmly in place during use. Whether you’re breaking down boxes, preparing food on the go, or simply handling everyday tasks, this knife is ready when you are.

Its handle is built for comfort and style, crafted from textured black Micarta that offers a secure, confident grip in all conditions—even when wet. The handle’s clean lines and ergonomic contours feel great in the hand, while also giving the knife a distinctive, understated elegance. And weighing in at just 4.5 ounces, it won’t weigh down your pocket, no matter where your day takes you.

One of the standout features of the PL-7-3 is its blue titanium tip-up pocket clip, which not only adds a bold touch of color but also ensures discreet and secure carry. The knife sits deep in your pocket, always within reach, yet never in the way. At 4.5 inches closed and 8 inches overall, it hits that sweet spot of size—large enough to handle serious work, yet compact enough to carry comfortably every day.

REATE is known for producing knives that punch well above their weight in terms of fit, finish, and performance, and the PL-7-3 is no exception. Every detail—from the precision-machined pivot to the cleanly sculpted liners—speaks to the brand’s commitment to quality and design excellence. It’s a knife that feels just as at home in a jeans pocket as it does on a high-end gear shelf.
