Reate Exo-Utility prototype

[@CombatBanana]

Man if they made one with a real blade for less than a hundred then the Vision FG would actually have some competition for the coolest sub 100 knife. Still the coolest box cutter tho

[@Stahlwerk88]

Turned into a rattlesnake when it hit the bench! Haha. I want one of these. Is it aluminum?

[@vucachon]

Hahaha rattle snake! Hahahaa! Yeah this guy is aluminum. A titanium one would be sick

[@tj-kv6vr]

monkey see monkey do

[@tronclay]

would love one of these but having that separate piece to hold the blade in is a big mistake imo.

[@vucachon]

I do wonder how much it can take before it needs replacement. I don't expect heavy duty work out of this, not because I think it can't handle it, but because I have other took I can use that I know can handle the work! This piece is all novelty with some light use capability.

[@halvelife]

Is there a reason the entire blade comes out? Most box knives extend halfway to expose only the sharpened portion of the blade. It would be cool if there was an option - a switch or screw that stopped it at half-extension. It is a very cool product, though. Thanks for sharing.

[@vucachon]

Only half the blade is exposed

[@halvelife]

Right but the carriage slides all the way out. It just seems odd, like a blade on an extension.@@vucachon

[@vucachon]

@halvelife I'm assuming it's for the ease of switching the blades out. But a half stop would be good too. I expect a design like that would have more strength and durability for a cut!

[@halvelife]

That makes sense. It probably adds to the fidgetability too lol.@@vucachon

[@vucachon]

@@halvelife yeah! I don't think this piece, or the Exo line, is meant to be actually efficient. Hahaha. Fidgety and fun, with cutting capability. Hahaha 😆.

[@AceK21]

What's the weight on this bad boy?

[@vucachon]

I'm not sure, I'll have to check!

[@brandonrichardson5123]

Same f**** problem with all of these utility knife brands. The cutting edge of the replaceable blade can and will contact the little metal edge that contains it dulling half the blade before you even flip it to use it.

[@vucachon]

It's not dull at all. Lol. I swapped mine over and it's still razor sharp.

[@blessedoba9716]

Have you had any trouble with certain razor blades not fitting? What blades do you use?

[@vucachon]

@blessedoba9716 these are just standard sized ones!

[@blessedoba9716]

Thank you bro

[@invest_9361]

When is it going to be available? I keep looking it up but it says coming soon or out of stock.

[@vucachon]

They are available for preorder. Ships beginning of May. Check out these 2 sites: cranescutlery.com/product/reate-exo-u-utility-blade-purple-speedhole-handle-pre-order/ bcapone.com/search?q=Exo-u

[@invest_9361]

@vucachon I want it in black, purple doesn't fit me 😅

[@vucachon]

@@invest_9361 check out the other colors

[@tj-kv6vr]

or you could just buy the box cutter that has been and is still used today. You can get 2 utility knives for $8

[@vucachon]

Or I could buy this one? Why spend on an 8 dollar one when I want this one?

[@CombatBanana]

Yeah no fun knives allowed

[@vucachon]

@@CombatBanana hahaha 😆

[@jdtheone]

Overpriced toy not impressed

[@vucachon]

It's not for everyone! I enjoy it!

[@Subaru69420]

Delete this comment. Embarrassing yourself.

[@jdtheone]

@Subaru69420 delete yourself my opinion is just that and that is all that matters
