The REATE PL-7-2 brings together practical functionality and clean, modern design in a premium everyday carry folding knife that feels right at home in any environment. Whether you're heading to work, out on the trail, or just handling everyday tasks, this manual folder is built to deliver dependable performance with a refined edge.
At the center of the PL-7-2 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a high-grade steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. It’s finished with a sleek belt satin polish that enhances the blade’s clean lines while offering a subtle, sophisticated sheen. With a plain edge and a .15-inch thickness, this blade is ready to tackle daily cutting tasks with precision, strength, and ease. From slicing through packaging to more demanding utility jobs, the PL-7-2 stays sharp, steady, and reliable.
The knife opens smoothly via a flipper tab, and the pivot lock mechanism ensures the blade locks securely into place with confidence. This combination offers a quick and satisfying deployment that’s intuitive and safe, making it a tool you’ll reach for again and again. The mechanics are tight, smooth, and tuned to the high standards REATE is known for.
Complementing the premium blade is a rugged yet refined handle made from green and black Micarta. This dual-tone material not only looks striking, with its layered texture and organic pattern, but it also provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip in all conditions. The ergonomic contours of the handle feel natural in the hand, making long sessions of use comfortable and controlled. It’s a handle that doesn’t just look good—it works hard, too.
Closed, the PL-7-2 measures 4.5 inches and fits comfortably in the pocket without adding bulk. At 8 inches overall when open and weighing just 4.5 ounces, the knife strikes an ideal balance between compact carry and full-sized performance. The blue titanium tip-up pocket clip adds a flash of color and a modern touch, while ensuring deep and secure pocket retention. It's lightweight, strong, and complements the green and black handle perfectly. A lanyard hole adds yet another layer of versatility, letting you customize your carry with a cord or bead for fast retrieval or personal flair.
The REATE PL-7-2 is a knife built for those who value both function and form. Every detail, from the precision machining to the thoughtful ergonomics, reflects a commitment to quality that’s evident the moment you put it to work.
