Reate T3500
The Reate T3500 is a stunning medium-sized folder designed by Tashi Bharucha, and it wears the collaboration well: a 3.5-inch blade over a full titanium frame at 5.1 ounces, sleek enough to be a statement piece and sized right for everyday carry or whatever tasks come your way.
Reate T3500 M390 Flipper
Every build in the grid runs M390 on 0.160-inch stock, in straight satin or hand rubbed satin finishes, the powder stainless that holds a working edge and resists corrosion through daily pocket time. Deployment runs off a flipper tab riding ceramic ball bearings, giving the T3500 the seamless, fast opening action the design is known for.
Titanium Frames with Snake Skin Carbon Fiber, Brass, and Fat Carbon Inlays
The inlay work is where the T3500 outdresses the rest of the T series. The hand rubbed builds carry carbon fiber snake skin inlays shot through with copper or gold, the satin builds run a jigged titanium inlay or black camo Fat Carbon, and the blacked-out version pairs a black stonewashed titanium frame with a black stonewashed brass inlay that will develop its own character with carry. Every build locks up on a titanium frame lock with a right-hand tip-up pocket clip, per DLT's own product write-ups.
Reate T3500 vs T1000 and T3000
The fork inside the T series is now a clean one. The Reate T1000 runs the same 3.5-inch blade length at more than ten ounces on quarter-inch stock, the overbuilt statement version, while the T3500 delivers full-size blade with half the mass and the Bharucha lines. Step down instead and the 3-inch Reate T3000 trims another inch and a half of ounces for lighter carry. If you want the full-size dress flipper of the family, this is the one, and whether you're a collector or a practical user, the T3500 deserves the serious look the legacy copy always promised.
