SHOP CASE KNIVESThe REATE PL-7-6 stands as a bold statement in both function and form, offering the kind of performance, style, and durability that serious everyday carry users expect from a premium folding knife. With its expertly tuned mechanics, rugged materials, and eye-catching handle design, this manual folder brings sophistication and grit together in one versatile package.
At the heart of the PL-7-6 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade made from Nitro-V stainless steel—an advanced, high-performance steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The blade features a striking black PVD finish that adds another layer of durability while also reducing glare and boosting its tactical appeal. With a plain edge and a .15-inch blade thickness, the PL-7-6 is designed to power through daily cutting tasks with precision, control, and confidence.
Quick, intuitive deployment is made easy with the integrated blade flipper, and the pivot lock system ensures solid lockup every time. Whether you’re slicing rope, opening packages, or handling more rugged chores, you’ll appreciate the knife’s responsive action and reassuring stability. This is a knife that’s built to work hard while offering the kind of smooth, satisfying operation that turns everyday use into a pleasure.
The handle is where the PL-7-6 really sets itself apart. A dynamic combination of green and black Micarta provides excellent grip and visual appeal, delivering both traction and comfort in a range of conditions. The ergonomic shaping allows for a secure, natural fit in the hand, while the layered color pattern gives it a distinctive personality that’s both bold and refined.
At 4.5 inches closed and 8 inches overall, the knife offers the perfect size-to-weight ratio for reliable, pocket-friendly carry without compromising on capability. It weighs in at just 4.5 ounces, striking a balance between durability and lightweight convenience. A black titanium tip-up pocket clip ensures a discreet and sturdy carry option, keeping the knife ready to go without drawing attention. For added versatility, the PL-7-6 also includes a lanyard hole—ideal for those who like to customize their carry setup or add quick-access retention options.
Every detail of the REATE PL-7-6 is carefully considered and flawlessly executed, from the finely tuned pivot action to the rugged yet refined handle materials. It’s the kind of knife that not only gets the job done but does so with unmistakable style and presence.
