Reate Bushido

The Reate Bushido features a 3-inch blade made from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel paired with FatCarbon handle scales. The blade is ground into a sleek trailing point profile and finished with a horizontal hand-rubbed satin. Depending on the version, the handle scales showcase different FatCarbon patterns, including Arctic Storm, Lava Flow, and Dark Matter colorways.

The Reate Bushido opens using a top-mounted front flipper tab. The placement at the top corner of the tang allows you to roll the blade open with your thumb or reach over the spine with an index finger. This top-style design provides positive leverage, making it easier to operate than standard low-profile front flippers.

The Bushido is built with a liner lock mechanism housed inside lightweight titanium liners. The titanium frame structure provides secure lockup while keeping overall weight minimal, and the build is rounded out with a matching milled titanium pocket clip configured for right-hand, tip-up carry.

Despite its compact 3-inch blade, the Reate Bushido provides a surprisingly full and secure grip. The handle is contoured with enough girth to prevent the knife from feeling cramped or fragile, giving you confidence during routine cutting chores.

The Reate Bushido stands out for custom-grade touches rarely seen on factory folders, most notably its horizontal hand-rubbed satin blade. Combined with tight manufacturing tolerances, titanium liners, and exotic carbon composites, it offers enthusiast-grade fit and finish in the sub-$300 price bracket.
