REA130 Reate Knives PL-XT Green Micarta Handles Nitro-V SW Drop Point Blade IKBS Pivot Lock Clip

The PL-XT, a compact and high-value design from Alvin Lee and Reate Knives, offers a unique pivot lock mechanism. The "PL" in its name stands for pivot lock, which operates similarly to the Deadbolt lock from CRKT and resembles a button lock design. Simply depress the pivot screw to swing the blade closed or open, bypassing the need for the dual thumb studs if they're not your preference. This lock type necessitates the PL-XT to be thicker than your typical button or liner lock, which may not be ideal for everyday carry. However, in use, it proves to be exceptional. The added thickness fills the hand nicely, making it comfortable even for those with larger hands. With its classic profile, the PL-XT appeals to a wide audience and is available in various colors and materials. Act fast to secure one for yourself, as production was limited on this run. There's no guarantee it'll be available again, especially not at this price point.
