I went and fixed that for you
You didn't fix anything. No more insults. Stay on topic or don't post.

I'll pass.:barf:
I'll pass.:barf:
Me too but I'll do it with style, gas pedal to the floor and fist on the horn, shouting obscenities like a Manila taxi driver.
The only Sarenmu I held felt like junk. I won't support a knife company from China regardless of the value or quality which is very much a crap shoot anyway.
I am very surprised they are charging that much for that China crap.:barf: What is up with tip up on a flipper?
Looks like China junk to me.:barf:
If it has anything to do with China I pass on it. Too much crap.
Maybe you should stay with your Chinese crap then. I will take an off centered blade that doesn't rub over inferior steel, inferior handle materials, inferior locks and all the other garbage that comes with those $10 knives.

It's not about disagreeing with the sentiment. I personally am not into Reates or whatever either. Just not sure if this has a place here. Especially in a knifemaker sponsored thread. Politics and all. There is a point when it becomes trolling when opinions shared aren't constructive and or objective.
Knifemaker sponsored? This is the General forum, not sponsored by any brand. Reate needs to follow Kizer and get their own forum here. Objectively, As long as I still can buy American made knives I won't buy any knife made overseas. This includes really good knives imported by Spyderco, Buck or Kershaw as well as the recent offerings from Reate and Kizer. That is my prerogative and I don't mind doing it and talking about it. I'm not xenophobic or sinophobic, just tired of sending business off shore.
BTW, you listed, "The only Sarenmu I held felt like junk. I won't support a knife company from China regardless of the value or quality which is very much a crap shoot anyway." twice.
bottom line is that as long as I can buy American made knives at competitive pricing.... I will 10 times out of 10 over a Chinese made knife. Im sure they are nice, but no thanks when I can get the same thing for half the price. There are too many better options out there.... sorry
What knife is the same thing at half the price? And since you're speaking generally about all knives made by China-based makers, what, pray tell, is better than or the same as, say, a Kizer Sunburst, which has a 3.5" blade of CPM-S30V and has an incredible fit and finish, for $61?

I eagerly await your response.
Last i checked this thread was about the reate high end line.... so lets keep it in context shall we? These are for some people but not most. Reading butt hurt fan boy responses in this thread is nothing short of amazing like my previous response.... ill take my ZT0562cf over these every day of the week.
As far as the sunburst.... what an ugly knife that is. It's also s35vn not s30v.

Your comment appeared to be about all Chinese knives. If it's not then it could use some serious rewording. The S30V thing was a typo. But even to keep it specifically about Reate, you have never owned one of their knives, so why are you commenting on their quality? Do you go into LionSteel and spout negative generalities about Italy-made knives? If not, why not?
The funny thing is that as the quality goes up so does the price. They're already up into BM and Spyderco price range. The piece the OP shows is just an attempt to get into Seb/Hinderer/Strider territory.
Negative, no re wording necessary as it was obvious I was talking about the HIGH END LINE of Reate Knives which is the topic of this thread.

I totally agree with this. The issue most people are having is that the horizon A came out in m390 mid 200's and now they want 4 bills for it..... no sir
Perhaps Blade Forums should sponsor a workshop on pronoun reference.
