Just picked-up this Reate Zoro (#54/300) with a M390 Belt Satin Blade. The handle is crafted from bead blasted titanium while the framelock mechanism is designed for right-hand users only with a tip-up clip for convenient carry. Weighing in at only 4.7 ounces, the Reate Zoro is my new EDC. Not your grandfathers made in China knife.

Very elegant looking knife, Tom.

In your last two pictures, do you have something behind the knife propping it up?

Here is the Emerson Super-8. Got it yesterday, it's really big, even a little bigger than comfortable. This is the second knife my wife picked up and said "wow, it has such a comfortable handle! Is it for cutting people?" I reassured her that it would only cut food. The first was #3-5 Stag FG in 2015

Awesome group shots! I would tell my wife, it's for whatever needs to be cut. 😉

Thank you! I'll take a picture of what she uses in the kitchen sometime)) As for what the operators use, there was a question somewhere at the very beginning of the topic, one of my friends has been to Iraq several times and even to Saddam's palace. His favorite folder is the Benchmade Osborne 940, green handle with black coating, bought with own money, still uses it every day. I think it's all marketing. If some really cool real special forces guy (William Ewart Fairbairn) or movie hero like Rambo used a bright pink with white hearts Mercator K55K, everyone would think it was a tactical knife

Yeah, you have a great knife! The translucent G10 is very beautiful ::tu:: My friend's green handle was made of aluminum and anodized or painted

I just thought, if there are tactical knives, then could there be a strategic knife? That is, the knife is not for action, but rather for reflection or meditation. So far the only knife that comes to mind is Washington's knife, I once found information about it here
https://aw22.org/george-washington-penknife/

Well and also all the knives from the topic about comfortable knives are also suitable for this, probably, or letter openers ::hmm::
