The Reate VK-FUX Folder Darkwashed is built for knife enthusiasts who appreciate rugged styling, premium materials, and precision craftsmanship in a capable everyday-carry design.

Its darkened finishes and durable construction make it an excellent choice for collectors and users who want a premium folder that stands out through understated toughness.
At the heart of the VK-FUX is its Elmax stainless steel blade, a high-performance powder metallurgy steel recognized for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Hardened to 60 HRC, the blade is designed to hold its edge through repeated cutting while providing dependable performance for everyday utility tasks. The versatile drop point profile offers a practical cutting edge and a controlled tip, making it well suited for opening packages, cutting cordage, and handling a variety of routine jobs. With a blade thickness of 0.133 inches, it delivers a solid, capable feel while maintaining the versatility expected from a premium folding knife.
The darkwashed titanium handle complements the blade with a rugged, industrial appearance and premium construction. Titanium is valued for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making it an excellent material for a dependable everyday-carry folder. Its darkwashed finish creates a unified look with the blade while giving the knife a distinctive, worn-in character. The combination of Elmax steel and darkwashed titanium reflects Reate's emphasis on quality materials and carefully executed design.
Measuring 7.8 inches overall when open and 4.5 inches when closed, the VK-FUX offers a practical balance between cutting capability and convenient carry. Its 3.3-inch blade provides useful reach for everyday tasks, while the compact closed length makes it easy to store when not in use. Weighing just 3.7 ounces, or 105 grams, the knife remains lightweight enough for regular carry without compromising its substantial feel. The carefully considered dimensions make it a versatile addition to an everyday-carry setup or a premium knife collection.
Combining high-performance Elmax steel, a darkwashed titanium handle, and a rugged all-dark finish, the Reate VK-FUX Folder delivers a purposeful blend of durability, portability, and modern styling. It's a compelling choice for enthusiasts who demand premium materials and distinctive design in a dependable folding knife.
