Reate/Pena X Series

kaput · May 29, 2018

I understand that Enrique Pena will be partnering with Reate knives to manufacturer his designs for a lower price point (non custom) knife.

Does anyone have anymore input on this partnership?

Thanks.

hadn't heard of it until now -- thanks for informing at least me!

i don't know what to think about it. i've never handled a peña before but i do have a reate-made liong mah lanny, and the knife you linked in your post looks an awful lot like the work they did for liong. i imagine they'd feel pretty similar, too. can anyone chime in on a comparison?

I like it. I see some similarity to the Lanny in the handle design- in fact this one is called Lanny too. The blade is quite different from the other one. This one is intriguing.
So is it sold out or has it not been produced yet? I'm guessing the latter.

OD green G10 is still available. Carbon fiber and Ti jigged both sold out on Monday.

Oh ok, thanks. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of these.

There are some Ti and OD green available now at the Center and the HQ if anyone interested. I picked up a CF one but they appear to be sold out of that one now.

I would like to see the Swayback flipper get a more production version

That CF one is the best, IMO and apparently most people agree. But I don't like the stonewashed finish.
I'm saving my pennies for the Lambert and/or Jack.

The Lambert X Reate collabs look awesome.
