T1000 v2

The Reate T1000 v2 is a robust pocket knife that goes 110% on lock strength and 120% on general beefiness. Its hollow-ground tanto blade—now with a slight recurve and made from Bohler M390 steel—flips open smoothly on a ball bearing pivot. There, the frame lock engages. For a normal knife, that would be enough; with the T1000, we're just getting started! You can engage two other optional locks: a button on either side of the pivot. Push these in, and there are now three points of contact keeping the blade secure; you can also engage the two button locks when the knife is closed. These buttons aren't traditional button locks. To disengage them, push up on the slider on the spine of the knife's handle. Despite its size, the T1000 is ergonomic and smooth to operate. Its chunky, beautifully styled titanium handle will comfortably fill a larger hand, and its near-quarter-inch thick blade will take a beating and dish out an even bigger one. For cutting jobs small, large, or mammoth, the T1000 v2 will perform like a champion. Without a doubt, this monster of a flipper knife is worthy of its namesake.
