“Pounding on railroads with the back of you knife as an occupation… not sure how you got that job” this made my day😂😂😂
I really enjoy this knife. I got the satin and green version initially, while I waited for my copper and black version to arrive a couple of weeks later. I also wish it was a little bigger, as the position it naturally takes in my hand before I open it requires me to move it up a little first, in order to get my thumb on the studs. I have to shift it that same half inch in my hand to do the reverse flick as well. I think that 8 inches with a 3.5" blade would be perfect. Move it from Ritter Mini RSK size to full size Ritter RSK size.
Looks nice. A little small for my taste. Cool colors.
Im liking this one of all the current pivot lock knives...
Been daily driving this baby a few weeks now, love it. I agree that the little lock switch is...well...little. Almost feels like an afterthought. Thanks MC!
If they made it higher then people would be saying that the secondary lock switch was too big. Can't win em all.
I have this exact model thanks to EKnives. I do wonder if some places consider it a gravity knife because if you push the pivot in the blade will open with no resistance.
Each state unfortunately define gravity knives completely different from one another. I will say that it's mechanism (pivot decompresses allowing blade to swing freely) is no different in theory than all of the button locks (plunge locks on a spring) that are on the market currently. I haven't heard of any instances yet where someone had an issue with a button lock being considered a gravity knife, so I'd think that this would be categorized similarly. Especially since the main form of deployment is obviously the thumb studs and it doesn't solely rely on the pivot button swinging the blade out.
Ill wait for the bigger one.8 inches is my sweet spot with my hands.😄
NC Blade has the copper pvd in stock
Yep, still there. Wish I'd known about that store earlier. I do like that copper PVD but not enough to have two of these so I'll just stick with the one I've got.
Belle vidéo 👍 , est ce que le PVD cuivré de la lame est de bonne résistance aux rayures et autres ? Excellente revue , excellent couteau Reate , j'attendais ce moment depuis longtemps de la part de Reate que de fabriquer de bons couteaux à budget inférieur à 150 € , j'adore son système de verrouillage et déverrouillage avec le pivot ou avec le bouton juste au dessus du pivot , un parfait EDC solide et fiable , j'aurai aimé le voir avec un autre acier que le Nitro V , même avec une belle lame Damas celà aurait été super . Bravo 💪
I just wish they had Polished the DLC Copper Blade like CJRB did their Pyrite Bowie.
For the steel, design and lock mechanism it feels about right for price. Nice EDC.
I wasn't ready for how thick it is. It makes sense with the locking mechanism, but it's pretty wide for the profile.
Yeah... my small knife fix has been quenched over the last decade. I'll wait for a larger version to drop.
The bigger one is going to be a flipper fyi
Yet another cool knife that is too small imo
I really like the PLXT (wish they gave it an actual name tho lol) it actually has a little detent ball in there that makes it feel like firing out a liner lock. I was worried I wasn’t going to like it when I realised how thick it is but it isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be on paper. The contouring on the scales goes a long way to mitigating the thickness and stopping it feeling too blocky. The blade is thick but well ground so it still feels pretty slicey.
You can absolutely take it apart the whole way too lol. Dunno what freaked MC out so much 😂
I hate the PLXT!
Because I spent my CC limit this week. I realized the difference between the Reate PLXT and something like my Kansept Shard Tiger ... No hate on Kansept I have 18. Here is the list. Manix 2 M4, Ritter Mini RSK, Bugout silver/grey aluminum M390, Shark Cub BHQ exclusive, mini Griptilian, Rose Gold Pyrite, Kirby Raine Lava ... it feels like an assisted but isn't. Back to the list; Kershaw (my hook that started back in 97) BelAir, OGK Blackout Baby Rhino, the next knife I blame on MC, Kunwu Chad CF with PM60 ... Not a Tao I know but man is it beautiful. MC if you have any thoughts on PM60 wade on in. Back to the list hmmm oh yeah a purple penguin plus and a green penguin. As of this post I have all of the Benchmade items the manix 2 and Chad. I am waiting on the remaining orders to arrive. I blame this squarely on Reate and you MC! Where can I send the bill?
Definitely grabbing the bigger flipper version, Thanks MC 😎
Great knife, at least for the time being it’s kicked my Spyderco Yojimbo 2 out of my pocket & into the knife case. In about two weeks of carry, I haven’t yet found a flaw. I use it often and play with it perpetually, super fun & fidgety pocket companion! Great review MC!
"Thats a fat boy"😅 Def need a bigger version in that colorway.
I really like this offering...if they offer it in an upgrade steel, I'm in.
Hey metal- it seems like the internal frame lock it’s fixed in there kind of like a spyderco, but it’s not. Definitely worth opening just to see the massive bearings! I had no issues breaking it completely down and getting it back together and I’m pretty sure you’re better at dissessembly than me 😅
PS- one of the interesting things is that the smoothness of the action is coming from a very very sticky lubricant they are using- basically knife grease. I was a little disappointed by this because I felt like it’s kind of cheating
Great work knife from Reate!
Literally just ordered this knife from DLT!
I was able to find a copper one on Knife Center before they sold out. Pretty happy with it, and seems plenty strong to me, I spine whacked it reasonably hard and nothing. Great knife especially for the price.
Also available at NC Blade.
My Reate PL-XT from DLT had bad button stick. I sent it back, and they said there was a burr on it which they fixed. I haven't received it yet, so I don't know how well it is fixed. It was so bad, I couldn't push button in to release the blade. If it worked at it, eventually I could get it closed.
I picked up one of these on the drop. Snagged this one with the copper PVD and while I really like the knife, something was wrong with the pivot lock. It would be good at first then it would get crunchy and sometimes lock open without the switch being engaged and sometimes it would lock closed. I had to return it. With Reate's normal quality, I'm sure I just got a rare dud.
I could have been. But this does happen with mine as well occasionally and I have 3. You have to push the pivot in and spin it down more to fix. Maybe adjust spring. It takes a little finking with sometimes. It’s definitely not a perfectly refined system yet with this knife. I’d give it another go though
Mine did the same and I was frustrated for the amount of money. I thought it would be better. I returned it as well. Too much adjustment with no use and just some fidgeting.
I've had a lot of trouble with mine too, but jkurtzz is right. When the pivot is screwed all the way down (below the lip when closed) stick doesn't occur.
Thanks for the vídeo MC; i buyed the tan g10/black blade versión im waiting to test it but it looks great
Definitely one of my next purchases.
I bought one and love it!
Does anyone know when the flipper version is dropping?
Cool little knife. Not a fan of the holes in the handle. But I like it otherwise.
I’ve had mine for a couple months. Like it don’t love it.
Seems like a great knife for the $$. I really like the design.
Does no-one else have severe lock stick with theirs? Did I just get a bad one?
Mine was horrible. I had to tinker with it for 30 minutes to get it closed. Didn't wanna take it apart, so just returned it.
I have 3. I do have occasional lock stick. Try taking out the pivot completely and cleaning it down and swapping with their replacement spring. Respin down pivot and get it almost as deep as it will screw. In closed knife position the button should be low enough to be lower than the small lip of of the scale that protrudes. Hope that helps
It was new, shouldn't need to fix it
@@michaelwallace9583 classic. stick to benchmades and zt's bud. I'm sure berg appreciated the advice.
Didn't realize it was supposed to be in so far. Guess I'll have to get some lock-tite, the pivot keeps backing out.
Hot dog I’m gonna need me one of these
My man is out there manipulating, operating and gaining access to. Damn Jason Bourne.
Jokes aside, I agree with you in the sensationalist / extreme comments and videos, very common are things like "enticing knife but I hip they heat treat their magnacut properly" (or similar), okay me cardboard slayer calm down..
Sooo..... apparently when we were moving my mom mentioned that one of her ex bfs left behind a supposedly 200peice+ knife in one of the hundreds of identical boxes we had while moving.....guess I'ma tear the whole garage up going thru box after box looking for this collection 😅
Wish me luck!
I, for one, am interested in what your treasure hunt yields.
Enjoy
You're either going to find the gas station hall of fame or the haul of your dreams; good luck.
@@jamesruth100 umm yeaaaa definitely not 200 peices lol BUT....
3 very high quality butterfly knives.....can't tell the manufacturer on any of them.....but these things are each incredibly well made. Dam I wish they were folders :/
@@chelseapeters7187 That's still a solid find, imo. Besides, you could always try to sell them or swap them with someone for knives you _do_ want.
There are people that pound inives on railroads and are people who weigh little knives.
Lot of people doing dumb things
Anyone know when this PL-XT copper will be in stock (again?) anywhere?
NC Blade has them in stock
@@HaroldVerzier Excellent, just ordered one. Thank you!!
Meh. . .
Yeah I bet water will get trapped in that lock mechanism, if you don't take care to blow it out and oil it you could have some issues
Imagine sand or concrete dust in there instead. All of my knives are users and stuff like that happens regularly. I really like that thick/rounded handle though, would love this knife in a larger model with a crossbar lock.
I would've bought the smaller one in copper when mc dropped his first video about it but it was already gone everywhere. Got one in-stock e-mail notice a week or two later and it was already sold out when I checked literally a minute later.
The internal system is very sealed off. I could see water making it's way in, but not likely debris or dust very easily
Thanks
