This knife was loaned to me for this review by

This model is the Reate Knives New Torrent Dark Stonewashed handle Stonewashed/Satin RWL-34. - Věda a technologie
Thanks for the information on RWL-34 steel, keep up the good reviews!
Reate makes a great looking knife. It's good to hear the knife is built well also. Thank you.
Who wouldn't buy a "used" knife when Michael Christy simply sharpened and reviewed it. That's "used" lol
You beat me to it man...I'd drop 400 with a smile on my face
Yep, makes it worth more to me simply since it was in Michael's hands!
YO!!! Carry that puppy for 4 weeks if you'd like to. That is up to you my friend! If you'd like to dabble with it for a few weeks or a month give 'er a go. I'm pretty sure the knife will love it.
It's great to see the knife put to some hard use on camera! Very good!!
Great review. I had the original Torrent with m390 and it was a great knife. I'm a huge Reate fan, everything they do is top notch.
Vextos glad you liked the review.
Awesome video Michael
RWL-34 is BADASS steel brother!
Big Brown Bear I’m impressed with it.
@@michaelchristy4982 bruh, that knife does look sweet. I'm used to all the goofy over the top stuff they do. That looks like more of a workhorse.
Big Brown Bear yeah, it’s really not bad. And it really takes a nice edge, even at 45 inclusive.
Got a jack in the other day and it’s very well done. Awesome video as always.
Great review. Was interested in checking out RWL-34 so picked one up.
I like what you do, especially when you re-sharpen the knife with your hands
Love the videos! Keep em coming
Awesome!
2 videos?? Awesome!
Thanks! Interesting. 👍
Good video !
I need some Reates...I keep meaning to pick one up but I can't stop buying Spydercos
Alan Nemtsev spydercos are great
Great review, my Norseman is RWL 34, it strops easily back to a very good edge.
ToddGajewski hope you got a Norseman when they were like 600 bucks
bp69 Yep, mine is serial #250, had it several years.
ToddGajewski good for you there insanely expensive now
Now I want rwl, with m4 zdp, maxamet, rex, and s90v. Fuck my dreams
Reate switched from M390 to RWL34 recently for torrent and some other knives.
From someone who has been into custom knives since 1999 and have own a bunch in all types of steels (also EDCing them). RWL-34 is easily my favorite. In my option 154cm is not even close, even if they look like they are via specs or at least anything Ive owned with 154CM has been pretty terrible.
Artby2wenty 154cm and cpm154 are different.
Yes. Still don't like either.
Artby2wenty oh ok thanks for the reply. I’ve never tried either 154. But I’ve heard nothing but positive things about rwl34
Great looking knife, titanium frame lock flippers just scream "high end". I had my eyes on Pekka Tuominen RWL-34 puukko some time ago, but i didn't pull the trigger because i soon would have to eat oatmeal 3 times a day because of all the knives. coming in 😄.
You should get a Lil Nilakka...that super thin zero grind with the rwl34 is a wicked slicer... especially once you get your hands on it
Alan Nemtsev I think I’m a little late for that party. What did they RC those at? I’m curious.
Alan Nemtsev didn’t they have problems with rolling
Great review!
I'm a friend of Travis' and I've also got a torrent I can loan ya if you'd like to spend some more time with it.
I don't mind if you put it through some hard use!
I want a reate in this steel. Have you tried cpm154? How does it compare. I feel like the cpm steels are not as good as their carpenter or European counterparts. I could be wrong. I’ve just has several knives in 20cv and it sharpens closer to S90v than M390. I feel like M390 is more fine grained. Again could be wrong. Would like to see you sharpen some 20cv
Matthew Forrest m390 is a 3rd gen powdered steel so it should be a little bit better then 20cv but the 20cv you sharpened could just be soft
You should try knives from Kizer those are good too and less expensives.
Réjean Gadbois yeah, I’ve seen a few models that look interesting. Is S35VN the only steel they use?
Anyone else thought the thumbnail was him hitting a massive bong?
goldnav I think you’re the first.
Michael Christy I’m honored 😃
High quality and great looking knives but definitely overpriced , especially for something that is made in China!
Tsosmits777 Tsakous so if the same knife was made somewhere else the price would be fine?
Michael Christy No ! What I'm saying is that prices should be lower because labor costs and oparating expenses are lower there and Companies based in Europe like lionsteel and Manly make the same quality knives with almost half the prices of Reate knives .
I am from italy and i tell you something...lionsteel doesn't make knives with the same quality level like reate im sorry to tell you this...and a lionsteel knife with the same materials like reate costs 300 + ....so what are u saying there has no sense for me...
WHHHAAATTT THEEE FFFUUUCK IS GOING ON TODAY!!?!?!?!??? Is god really real??
Made in China...Next.
p g so is your toaster.
Who cares where it’s made. When quality and performance are at the forefront...what’s the difference? Drink Budweiser? The Chinese own that ....and countless other consumer items. Might be time for a re-think.....
