Reate Gents #9 FAQ

The Reate Gents #9 series is defined by its screwless titanium handle construction and high-performance M390 blade steel. This folder combines sophisticated engineering with a deep-bellied blade profile optimized for efficient slicing.

What steel is used in the Reate Gents #9 series?
The Reate Gents #9 series features M390 stainless steel, which is prized for its high edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blades are finished with a hollow grind and a crowned spine, providing a high level of refinement and cutting efficiency.
How is the handle built without visible screws?
Reate utilizes an innovative internal threading system in the Gents #9 series where a circular backspacer pulls the titanium handle scales together. This design hides all assembly hardware except for the pivot screw, creating a clean aesthetic that extends to the pocket clip mounting.
What tasks is the Gents #9 best suited for?
The Gents #9 is designed as a hard-use EDC knife that excels at slicing due to its upswept blade geometry and significant cutting belly. The handle includes subtle cutouts that act as traction points for a pinch grip, making it effective for precise cutting and surface work.
Can the Reate Gents #9 be disassembled for cleaning?
Yes, Reate includes a specialized wrench with the Gents #9 to allow for disassembly and maintenance. This tool interfaces with the threaded backspacer, enabling users to take the knife apart to clean the pivot and ball bearings.
Does the Gents #9 have a smooth opening action?
The Reate Gents #9 uses a ball-bearing pivot system to ensure a fast and smooth manual opening. As a dedicated flipper, it offers the consistent and snappy deployment characteristic of high-end Reate production knives.
