Just got mine with the elmax dagger blade and its absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't put oil anywhere near it though. It would seriously gum up the action even if you never carried it and if you did carry it, it would be a mess of oily dirt and pocket crap in the tracks, killing the glassy smoothness. The exo just doesn't need oil. A q-tip and some rubbing alcohol is all you need for cleaning. Otherwise keep it dry. Cheers 🍻

It just need a flush screw on the pocket clip. Knife binds up on pocket seam and doesn’t allow to sit flush. Also an update with locking switch maybe spring autolock. Maybe a simple button press to open and when let go it auto locks.

Im so tired of looking for this knife. I’ve spent nearly 9 months looking for it to be in stock, particularly as I’m not on the USA, it’s practically impossible to find even imported. Every time I look whenever it’s posted on a video or comment, it’s always out of stock, it’s not like I’m not keeping an eye.. i check constantly. I’m fairly sure at this point reate are just not making enough of these as I’ve never had any issues with any getting any other knife as a collector outside the usa.

I would be interested what your thoughts would be on tacknives OTF, reading through their website they seem very transparent about what they are doing. Sourcing parts and putting it all together here in the USA. I have been eyeing their TK pro Hornet with 154cm blade material for $169.

Recently picked one of these up for myself for Christmas (Elmax Drop point, black micarta), coming from mostly benchmade folding knives this thing had some serious "fidget factor" as you stated. I thought that would wear off and I would be annoyed with the slow mechanism, but no, you can flick this thing open so quickly it is awesome. I have been carrying this thing every hour every day and I love it, legality of carrying is questionable in my state but more of a grey area hopefully I dont run into any trouble. Great review!

What size did you get the mini of regular size and which would you recommend and where did you get that one

@00shockwavez 4 ай бұрын

@@jackharrison9756 I ordered off of a Canadian website and had it shipped to the US, thankfully with no issue. I couldn't find them in stock anywhere else. I have the regular size, I think the original REATE exo was larger than the one I have, then they made the regular size and the mini. As far as I am aware they dont sell or produce any of the original size (largest), only the mini and the regular Reate EXO. I think the regular size is the perfect sizing for carrying, maybe even a little short on the blade length so I definitely wouldnt order the mini personally. Im still very happy and it is still holding a great edge 2 months on, so I definitely recommend if you can own it legally.

@zig9449 Жыл бұрын

What looks like “extra steps” to you looks like combining steps to me. You don’t have to press a lock every time you open most other knives, but I kind of look opening the handle the same time you press the button as 1 single step. And that closing mechanism doesn’t seem so bad. The unlock mechanism on most knives change. Sounds more comfortable to repeat the same simple move twice than 2 different moves twice So it looks to me anyway.

@texyat7388 Жыл бұрын

I love this knife. The lock almost seems unnecessary as it’s not going anywhere when you’re gripping it. Having said that, I am glad they added the lock. I wish they had some additional options to the micarta like the original has. Maybe they’ll add that later. The only issue is that I really wanted to pinch grip it and then shake it side to side while sneaking up on my adversary. 😂

@Obsidian-One Жыл бұрын

I prefer the original with the leather slip, it's bigger. & I definitely can't figure out why people are concerned with it not locking WHEN YOUR NOT HOLDING IT...? When you hold the orginal it's completely locked & when your not it goes in the slip. I think the lock completely kills the idea of being a gravity knife not to mention that will be the only thing to quit working!

@wes.killed.it.5511 Жыл бұрын

I kind of disagree with that. Although I will say that the original one "needing" a lock was probably unnecessary to begin with, but the new one having the lock feature does absolutely nothing to infringe upon the user experience. I mean, can you not just forgo the entire lock and operate it like it wasn't there to begin with? Yes you can; however it is there for people who do decide that they want to utilize it. And for everyone else, the thing operates exactly like the original. Just don't flip the lock switch if you don't want to use it, simple as that.

Benchmade broke our bones on that one for sure but they always have. I know they're different knives, but I had to mention the Benchmade in case whoever is reading this comes up with the stupid:"just say you're broke" line whenever I'm honest about a knife 😂 which always cracks me up.
