Not your grandfather's gravity knife

[hso]

Reate's smaller Exo Titan gravity knife.



I was close to SMKW and needed some scissor springs for SAKs and made the mistake having a conversation with am employee at the Heretic counter. Next thing I know I'm headed for the Reate counter. <sigh>

That's pretty dang cool.

Nice looking knife, I think the model is described as Exo-M.

Yep.

To be precise, Reate Exo-M Safety Lock Tanto Titanium SMKW Exclusive Nebula Fat Carbon (I feel like I just gave the name of a show horse ).

Sorry, I don't get it. What's it for?

What's it for?

My amusement.
A close examination of the mechanism and the quality.
A different gravity knife than the ones I have.
To answer the question in my mind of whether it is just clever or has any practicality.

It locks up well, the knife won't fail without abuse, it is elegantly simple in form and function if a bit unusual. I wouldn't have any qualms using it for even some tasks around the farm or woods.

Interesting to me that these were/are illegal in so many places. This looks like it might actually take a bit more finesse to open than basic folders, let alone flippers and assisted openers. Mechanically it is pretty cool though.

Wish gravity knives and autos were legal in Minnesota. Really love the Fat Carbon... the red/white/blue Nebula pattern and the orange/green/back 80's pattern are my favorites. Looks like a great desk fidget knife.

While switchblades are expressly illegal in MN, gravity knives are not even mentioned. They'd be treated as any knife would under the law.

Once you handle it a bit, opening and closing becomes easy and intuitive. It is so easy it becomes a fidget toy.

And now the 2.62" blade Mini version is available!
