Reate Kirby Lambert Augustus Knife Titanium Carbon Fiber M390, Great Value
An Exceptional compound ground blade matched with a superb bolster lock!
The Reate Augustus is a collaborative effort between custom knifemaker Kirby Lambert and Reate Knives. It is Kirby's outstanding design and Reate's superb build quality combined, at a fraction of the price you'd have to pay for a custom Kirby Lambert knife.
The titanium framelock features beautiful carbon fibre scales on both sides for a neat and uniform look. The titanium lockbar is mostly covered by the CF scale, creating what's referred to as a "bolster lock". The framelock mechanism benefits from the stainless steel lock insert for durability and smoother operation.
Reate has gone the extra mile to add a stunning custom pivot and anodised pivot collar to knife, making the Augustus as close to the custom version as it gets. No cutting corners, no shortcuts, Reate has even created a floating backspacer with anodised accents, as well as polished and anodised hardware.
The real masterpiece here is the outstanding compound ground blade. This Kirby Lambert signature blade looks like a work of art, at the same time it is a tactical beast.
Reate's precision, quality and consistency is showcased once again in the ultra-smooth action of the Augustus straight out of the box. With no breaking in, no fiddling and no adjustments, the blade flips super-fast and the closing action is drop shut smooth.
