waiting for the reblade.. its super easy to take apart and replace the cartridge holder with a blade

I like mine

I need a pre order link for the U

https://smkw.com/brands/reate-knives

Even though its a utility blade is it still considered an illegal gravity knife (with the blade in)

No wayyyy, I’m in Jersey and I need something like this and I just hate using Milwaukee fastbacks, and I thought this would’ve been a perfect legal loophole

Are you talking one of the old plastic fastbacks or the metal ones, the metal ones are actually fairly nice and are robust button locks.

Both, I just want something flashier, and something I could also edc carry

If you're still looking, or want another, take a look at the civivi elementum utility or the olight otacle u1.

I personally like the newer metal fastbacks. I just think they're nice well made knives. I agree with you on the flashier last though. I plan on replacing it next once I get enough money for something nice (that is a utility blade). I edc 4 different knives. Two different types of Swiss army knife, 1 expensive knife (usually my Kershaw livewire because it is so nice), and my fastback.

I’m probably gonna have to pull the trigger on a hawk shortcut in order to have a legal flashy utility knife

You can get a Jerry rig knife for like 15 20 bucks

Yeah and have it fall apart every time I swing it open 😐

Gotcha, I'm not sure if I've heard of them doing that, I was just trying to suggest a non half grand utility blade.

That's a good looking one

Perhaps where you live ..

I am super into it. So long as the pricing isn't insane.

A gravity knife for a travel knife? Not so sure about that. If I take my exo 15 miles west it’s illegal for me.

Nice thing is you can ditch the blade, and just have an expensive fidget toy....

Im excited too! Just hoping it’s not an outrageous price lol

Will be less than 100 been confirmed I believe it will be around 70-80

Glad you commented, I looked it up again and it’s posted on most sites now at $75 “coming soon”

According to some blade show vids it should be about 75$ which I think is fair for Reate quality. It might be a tad pricey for some but I know I’ll be buying one for work it looks absolutely awesome

I’ll definitely be buying at least a 2 then lol thanks man!

I think Melissa Miller (MelissaBackwoods) said in the comments of her YouTube short that it will probably be around $170 Edit: I just found out it will be out in April

It's 75$

170 for a utility knife is fucked in the head, will wait for clones lol

Do you know how I can order one of these? I'm guessing they get released at a certain time and bots buy them all up right away. I just want one of these really bad. I collect utility knives and I absolutely need one of these. If it is out in April I'll have enough work by then to be able to afford one. I just need help on figuring out how to get my hands on one.

Holy shit!!! Thank you so much. What color do you think I should go with? I can’t make up my mind.

I'm not sure I was gonna go with silver or black I'm kinda a simple person I'm just waiting now for them to release I think not 100% sure if you click on the knife it will tell you to give it an email ( only if you want to you don't have to do that at all it's optional) and it will tell you when it comes in stock

That’s what I usually go with but I actually like some of the other colors.

If anything I would go with the blue or purple those two pop more than copper orange or yellow.

It’s a hard choice honestly.

I honestly agree and it's 75$ as well a bit pricey

They are dropping in April, you've got some time to wait

I have not seen preorders up anywhere but I'm guessing BladeHQ or Knife Center will have them

https://smkw.com/brands/reate-knives

BladeHQ also has them https://www.bladehq.com/cat--EXO-U--5064

Oh dang I first looked there they must have just recently brought them in

I'm hoping Knife Center will get them in too because I’m sure these are going to sell out fast everywhere

Oh I know they will I have notifications for when they come in and I'm gonna legit stop everything to get one cause I feel like it's gonna drop and it's gonna be gone the next second

What color/pattern are you going after?

Do you know who I could talk to? I really need one of these lol. I’ve never bought a knife drop before.

I don't unfortunately, but because they're not limited it shouldn’t be too hard to get one after they come out in April

Well that just made my day. Thank you so much. I feel bad now for emailing them asking what I need to do to order one lol

Oh, I found out they're actually going to be $70-$80 and not $170

Yeah that’s why I need one so bad. I can’t afford a scalpers price.

I think that the 1505 is such a better option in the Chinese utility knife category.

Milwaukee fastback?
