SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Reate PL-XT with Tan G10 handles and a Black PVD Nitro-V blade is a compact powerhouse built for serious daily use. Designed with rugged functionality and high-end materials, this knife brings Reate’s renowned fit and finish into a lightweight, easy-to-carry platform. Whether you're on the job or heading off-grid, the PL-XT delivers confident cutting power in a streamlined design.
The 3-inch drop point blade is made from Nitro-V stainless steel, a tough, high-performance steel known for its corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. The black PVD coating adds extra durability while minimizing reflection, giving the blade a clean tactical finish that holds up to repeated use. A thumb stud offers quick and smooth one-handed deployment, making the PL-XT as fast in the hand as it is tough in the field.
Reate’s pivot lock system offers rock-solid lockup with minimal effort. It’s ambidextrous, intuitive, and built to withstand hard use without compromising safety or performance. The smooth pivot action paired with secure lock engagement makes this knife a joy to open and close, whether you're working with gloves or bare hands.
The handle is constructed from tan G10, offering excellent grip and resistance to wear, moisture, and impact. G10’s lightweight strength makes it a top choice for working knives, and Reate has shaped this handle for both comfort and control. The profile allows for a natural hold in various grips, and the textured surface adds confidence during extended use. A black tip-up pocket clip provides deep, secure carry and adds to the knife’s low-profile look.
At just 6.9 inches overall and weighing 4 ounces, the PL-XT is compact enough for everyday carry but tough enough to tackle more demanding tasks. It’s a great fit for users who want a high-performance folder that doesn't sacrifice durability for size. Order it today from SMKW!
