SHOP CASE KNIVESThe REATE PL-7-7 is built for those who demand more from their everyday carry folding knife. With a bold all-black finish and precision-engineered performance, this manual folder offers the kind of sleek sophistication and rugged utility that’s hard to find in a single package. Whether you're an enthusiast looking to upgrade your daily lineup or simply want a knife that does it all and looks sharp doing it, the PL-7-7 delivers in spades.
At its core, this knife features a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel—a high-performance steel known for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and toughness. The blade's black PVD finish isn’t just for style; it offers added protection against corrosion and reduces glare, making it an excellent choice for tactical, work, or discreet everyday use. With a plain edge and a blade thickness of .15 inches, it’s designed to slice cleanly, withstand pressure, and stay sharp longer, no matter what the day throws your way.
Deployment is smooth, fast, and satisfying thanks to the blade flipper combined with a rock-solid pivot lock. You’ll get confident, one-handed opening every time, along with the security of a tight lockup during use. It’s a system that works as seamlessly as the knife looks.
The handle is wrapped in black Micarta, chosen for its durability, grip, and natural feel in hand. Whether you're working outdoors or opening packages indoors, the handle offers excellent control and comfort without any added bulk. At 4.5 inches closed and weighing just 4.5 ounces, this knife disappears into your pocket while still providing full-sized performance when opened to its 8-inch overall length.
Adding to its stealthy appeal is the black titanium tip-up pocket clip, offering secure and discreet carry. It's built to ride comfortably deep in your pocket, so the knife stays out of the way until you need it. The titanium construction ensures lightweight durability, and the all-black profile enhances the knife’s clean, modern look.
Every detail of the REATE PL-7-7 speaks to high-end craftsmanship—from the precision machining to the premium materials, it’s designed with intention and built to perform. It’s a knife that doesn’t just meet expectations; it quietly exceeds them. Whether you're navigating the urban grind or heading off-grid, it’s ready for the journey.
