This Reate is now mine. I recently purchased it from Jeff after talking with him on the phone asking numerous questions about his customization process. He was patient in answering them all. The knife is everything and more than the pictures show. Just beautifully made, essentially perfect all around. And the best part--all the beautiful custome polishing and anodization work by Jeff. He knows what he is doing and has an artistic eye--just look at the online photos of all his work. This knife is a definitely a special one in my collection.
