Was almost there but China? Nope
well folks since I’m the only one that posted the China issue I’ll leave it up. But thanks for taking the time to inform me and help me from missing this opportunity.

ryanburbridgeUnless I’m missing something. Can anyone explain more details that would convince us made in USA only guys. Are the makers some 3000 year old sword makers?

ryanburbridgereate is one of the finest production knife outfits in the world -- i say that with neither hesitation nor qualification. the skill they exhibit in each of their productions is rooted in extensive training and guidance from custom makers such as Mark and Todd Begg, Liong Mah, Tashi Bharucha, and other collaborators. they're essentially a Chinese company that was groomed by established designers and makers to build the very best production knives in the industry. they're arguably at or not far from that mark. forget what we all once believed about made-in-china knives -- these are a different generation of makers altogether.

eugeeeeenekwonThank you for the reply. I enjoy skilled craftsmanship of any origin... but am always careful of what people call skilled. Great looking knives. I’ll be doing som research on the manufacture.

ryanburbridgeDefinitely do your own research, Reate are top level production company. and are coming out with new knives all the time. most of the common YouTube knife guys own multiple Reate knives.

ryanburbridgeIt appears you're coming at this from a place of xenophobia rather than one of knowledge. Reate make incredible knives. Like it or not, we exist in a global economy. Did you research where the steel in your car was manufactured? What about the chipsets in its ECU/ECM?
This anti-Chinese bias may have held some water a few decades ago but these days, top tier Chinese manufacturing can compete with just about every other country in the world. The sad irony is that bottom of the barrel chinese OEMs used by so-called American companies like Kershaw and Gerber tend to be what gives knives from that country a bad name.

ryanburbridgeYou definitely owe it to yourself to check out a Reate. A Reate made knife for $150 has got to be the cheapest knife they make. I had a Reate Wave and it was gorgeous.

ryanburbridgeJust look at the milled G10 and CF scales, they're better than the Benchmade Bone Collector. I don't have one of their knives yet but they have a well-earned reputation and they are one of the top production companies in the world, with maybe three or four actual competitors.
