Reate T3000
The Reate T3000 is the mid-size dress folder of the T series, a 3-inch blade over a full titanium frame at 3.5 ounces. Reate machines it with the same attention that defines the rest of the line, but sizes it like a knife you actually carry: big enough for real cutting, light enough to forget, and finished well enough to be a statement piece for enthusiasts.
Reate T3000 in M390 and Damasteel
The satin builds run M390 on 0.157-inch stock, the powder stainless that pairs outstanding edge retention with corrosion resistance for everyday tasks. The dress build steps into acid wash Damasteel over a carbon fiber inlay, turning the pattern-welded Swedish stainless into the visual center of the knife, an in-house Reate design per DLT's own listing.
Micarta Inlays and Blue Hardware on Titanium
The M390 builds are where the T3000 gets its own character in the lineup: bead blasted titanium frames carrying green or brown micarta inlays set off by blue anodized hardware, warmth and color on a dress platform that usually runs cold materials. Every build locks up on a titanium frame lock and carries on a right-hand tip-up clip, with the precision machining and finish work the legacy copy on this page always promised and the current builds deliver.
Where the T3000 Sits in the T Series
The ladder makes the choice easy. The Reate T2500 below it is the 2.375-inch, 2.5-ounce dress mini, and the Reate T1000 above it stacks a 3.5-inch blade on quarter-inch stock at more than ten ounces. The T3000 is the middle bet: a 3-inch, 3.5-ounce titanium framelock sized like a normal EDC, which is exactly why it's the T series knife most people should start with. Whether you're a collector or simply need a reliable knife, it's a versatile, stylish choice you can depend on for years.
