It doesn't get much cooler than the **Reate K4**. What a fantastic knife this is! Here Reate demonstrates once again that it is one of the best manufacturers on the market. The details and sublime finish on this pocket knife are truly awe-inspiring. Reate combines clean lines with an excellent eye for detail, and has used only the best materials to bring this magnificent design to life.


The most eye-catching feature on the Reate K4 is its Damascus steel inlay. There are two beautiful pieces of Damascus steel on the side of the handle. You'll also find the same steel in the pivot collar around the pivot. The whimsical Damascus contrasts beautifully with the clean lines milled into the handle.


There is a dotted line along the top edge of the handle, where five ceramic balls have been pressed into the handle. A subtle reference to the ceramic ball bearings that make this pocket knife run so incredibly smoothly. The number five is also reflected in the backspacer, in the subtle grooves that have been added there. You can see them again on the back of the handle above the pivot.



The blade is made from Böhler M390 steel, a stainless powder steel made in Austria. It is incredibly stainless and has excellent sharpness retention. The beautiful hollow grind has a lovely satin finish in two directions. The transition from this *grind* to the flat-ground part at the tip has a very Japanese feel.


The contours of the handle and the clean lines of the blade are sublime. The differences in finish on the blade also show that they really know what they're doing at Reate. Many Western producers can only dream of this quality. And all that from a production knife! 



You open the blade with the flipper. The ceramic detent (which typically holds the blade in the handle) is perfectly adjusted. Sturdy enough to flip easily, but soft enough to feel pleasant against your finger. The ceramic ball bearings around the pivot allow the knife to open super smoothly. When opened, the blade is locked in place by a solid frame lock. As we've come to expect from Reate, the lockbar has a steel insert. This prevents the lock from going too far, so it will stay in great condition for years to come.




The Reate K4 comes in a luxurious storage case. This includes an additional pouch with two steel rings and some extra screws. So if you ever damage one of the screws, you already own a couple of spares. Very user-friendly!

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
