TashiBharuchaI love your designs and own a couple. I like this one also. I guess I'll be opening this one with my thumb. I lost part of my middle finger to an overly aggressive lawn chair as a kid making the middle finger flip impossible. How is it with the thumb flick?
mforrest1508Regarding the manufacturer, the knives will be made in China by an established and respected company. Because our selling price is well below normal for their high-quality work, the manufacturer has asked us not be disclosed. We are fully aware that the community would prefer to know exactly who is making every product, and we share this desire. This is written above where they show you the price.
mforrest1508As Jonas stated, we can’t disclose who the manufacturer is but all I can say is the are the best in my opinion and they freakin’ nailed it!
TashiBharuchaReate was once quoted to be your top fave Chinese knife manufacture, i’m sure i’ve Read this but can’t find where lol

Do.4lifePlus Reate has done Bharucha collabs before (the Future), this looks nothing like anything Rike has ever done, and WE has no problem being named on $100 collabs - that pretty much narrows it down :)
TashiBharuchaJust got my Prism and I gotta say..... I am BLOWN AWAY. Love everything about this thing. As an engineer who's an artist in his spare time, I get way too excited when things are able to blend those two worlds and this thing does that perfectly. Everything from the perfect centering, ergonomics, solid construction/materials to the beautiful milled design, faux integral spine, and clean flowing lines.
@TashiBharucha I know you said during your Q&A that you always like to hand your customers their knives so you can see the smile on their faces. Well, I wanted to tell you that I have a huge grin on mine. Your designs are truly something else and you, Reate, and Massdrop killed it with this one. Keep doing you man, and keep up the great work!
TashiBharuchaThis is one awesome knife. Great design, the attention to the details is outstanding and the execution is phenomenal. Every time I pick this knife up I smile. Best knife purchase of the year for me. The finger flick deployment is surprisingly easy, fun, and addictive to do. Thank you.
Gunnersmate2I got it from Hero Outdoors here in Canada. Yeah, I agree, I love it. Interesting to see them side by side after the initial speculation on this drop of the manufacturer. They are exactly the same in terms of materials, fit, and finish.
CaponeIt wasn't the greatest. Expect waits similar to Massdrop. They don't have everything that's on the site in store, so they have to order the item in from their warehouse which can take up to 2 weeks (more now because of the postage strikes). Then they inspect before shipping which can take up to another week. Shipping times vary depending where you're from and once again because of the strikes. And during this whole process, you can't cancel your order and their return policy is practically non existent. Luckily, I'm happy with my purchase so the whole thing was just an exercise in patience but I'd imagine it'd be a huge headache if that wasn't the case.
BknguyenThat's what I fear. I'm going to assume you're in the GTA area. I've had pretty good luck with S&R knives in Etobicoke (also has the eBay store Caledon2). They're cheaper than Warriors and Wonders anyway but man, we don't have a lot of options here. Thanks!
BknguyenI was trying to reply to tashi not you apologies. Try to order the model that is pictured. You cant and they dont intend to offer that model even though its the model people want
Mithras3I mean out of stock is out of stock. Just gotta keep waiting for it. Also, what do you expect Tashi to do? He's just the designer. Contact customer support at Drop
Mithras3Woah woah woah, slow your roll buddy. Why so defensive. I'm saying Tashi is the designer. He doesn't deal with stocking, manufacturing, whatever. So all I'm saying is you're asking the wrong person. Ask Reate or ask Drop.
Secondly, I was in on the very first pre-drop and they did have the all black as well as for a while afterwards so not sure where "they never intended on offering that model" is coming from. Don't talk to me about vitriol when I'm legitimately trying to help you and you're calling me an idiot.
