Swedish damascus and rainbow Mokuti on the K1 MokuTi flipper
The Reate Knives K1 MokuTi is the classic K1 model with bold rainbow Mokuti inlays and a damascus steel blade. This custom is produced by the young, high-tech Chinese company Reate Knives, which shook up the knife world by delivering top-tier quality on their made-in-China knives.
The blade profile is unusual — with a long, sweeping cutting edge and a tip positioned almost on the blade's centerline, it cuts and pierces superbly. The first-class damascus from the Swedish company Damasteel not only adorns the grinds with a hypnotic pattern but also guarantees high cutting performance and corrosion resistance.
The knife's flip is confident and crisp. A light press on the flipper tab — and the blade shoots from the handle like a bolt of lightning. Once open, it's held securely by a robust frame lock. The K1 handle is crafted from high-strength titanium and inlaid with an artistic Mokuti insert, whose pattern harmonizes with the damascus motif of the blade.
The knife is visually stunning — its silhouette is worthy of discussion among seasoned collectors and professional designers alike. And the K1 MokuTi's practical qualities are more than adequate for a tough multi-day hike.
