Reate Zoro
The Reate Zoro is the minimalist of the current catalog: one build, a 3.3-inch belt satin M390 blade over bead blasted titanium at 4.7 ounces, with nothing on it that doesn't need to be there. Reate lets the machining carry the whole knife, and on a maker with this reputation for fit and finish, that's a confident bet.
Reate Zoro M390 Frame Lock
The blade runs Bohler M390 on 0.157-inch stock, hardened to 60 to 61 HRC per DLT's own product write-up, the range where this powder stainless delivers its full edge retention without giving up toughness. Lockup is a titanium frame lock designed for right-hand users, with a tip-up clip for carry, at 8.1 inches overall and 4.7 inches closed.
Bead Blasted Titanium, No Distractions
Where the rest of Reate's lineup trades on inlays, bolsters, and anodizing, the Zoro runs a uniform bead blasted frame front to back. That makes it the working answer in a catalog full of showpieces: the same tolerances and the same lockup discipline, in a knife you don't have to think about scratching. The belt satin blade over the matte frame is the whole aesthetic, and it wears daily carry better for it.
Reate Zoro vs Velocity
The Zoro's nearest neighbor is the Reate Velocity, the 3.25-inch Elmax frame lock flipper at 4.1 ounces with the sport-milled holes through its frame. The two split on personality more than size: the Velocity is the machining show and the lighter carry, the Zoro is the solid-frame M390 worker with more blade stock and the quieter face. Either way you get Reate's frame lock at a normal carry weight, which the rest of this catalog rarely offers.
