Understanding the Reate Mantis

The Reate Mantis series is a premium folding knife line known for its distinctive sheepsfoot blade and world-class manufacturing tolerances. It features specialized hardware and a robust inset liner lock designed for enthusiasts who appreciate high-end engineering and unique aesthetics.

What blade steel does the Reate Mantis use?
The Reate Mantis series features a 3.6 inch blade crafted from Elmax steel. This high performance stainless steel provides an excellent balance of edge retention and toughness, making it well suited for the powerful sheepsfoot blade geometry found across the series.
Is special equipment needed to adjust the Reate Mantis?
Yes, you must use the proprietary wrench included with the knife to adjust the custom pivot. Standard Torx drivers such as T8 or T10 are not compatible with the unique hardware used in the Reate Mantis series, so it is important to keep the provided tool for maintenance.
What are the deployment options for the Mantis series?
The Reate Mantis offers dual deployment through a flipper tab and uniquely shaped thumb studs. While the flipper tab provides a traditional high speed action, the thumb studs require a specific outward pushing motion to engage properly due to their unconventional shape.
What type of locking mechanism does the Mantis have?
Every variant in the Reate Mantis series utilizes a thick inset liner lock. This design provides a large contact patch for a very secure lockup while maintaining the sleek appearance of the titanium handle scales.
How do the handle finishes differ in this series?
The Reate Mantis series offers several handle options, including bead blasted titanium and black DLC finishes. Some models feature intricate milling patterns for added texture, while high end variants may include Zircuti accents or hand rubbed satin blade finishes for a more custom look.
