RET3500BBR: Tashi Bharucha T3500 Folding Knife - Black PVD Stonewashed Brass
Reate Knives
The T3500 is yet another excellent design from Tashi Bharucha and the mid-size brother to the compact T2500 EDC masterpiece and T4000 full-size tactical piece. It features the same stylized handle and blade shape but comes in at a hair under eight inches overall with a three-and-a-half inch slightly recurve tanto blade. It's made from Bohler M390 stainless steel that rides on ceramic bearings and the sharp detent creates some pretty swift action. The milled 6Al4V titanium handle is inlaid with various selections of your choosing and it has the appearance of an integral design without the exorbitantly high cost of machining a handle from a solid billet of titanium. What you have here are two pieces of titanium where the backspacers are integral to the scales and that gives you the unique look you'll find here. It feels great in the hand, carries easily in the pocket, and performs like a full-on tactical knife - it's truly awesome.

Titanium Handles
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
M390
A go-to option for premium knives. Made by Bohler-Uddeholm, this 3rd generation powder-metal alloy offers high edge retention and excellent stainless properties.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
