New Utility Blades For 2024 | Reate EXO-U & Civivi Elementum Utility

[@MI_Prepper]

Just got the Civivi in green from you guys. Love it. Very comfortable in the hand, easy to deploy, get to use the whole blade! My first Civivi knife!

[@SMKWcom]

Nice! Hope you like your Civivi as much as we like ours 👍

[@ttattx]

tell us how you like to have to remove and replace a screw to change the blade. that is a design deal breaker for me... I understand it but don't want it... better designs abound...

[@MI_Prepper]

@ttattx I won't need to change the blade often enough to care, probably to be honest, but a thumb screw like on the Olight model would be better. Forget the name of it.. it is like $25...

[@aydan7901]

The screw only needs to be loosened 1-2 turns to change blade, so it's not that bad ​@ttattx

[@Secretly-Based]

Love the EXO-U, will be buying a couple!

[@rwe1]

Finally, a Reate I can afford. But i really like those Elementum and their price too.

[@BillyJBailey]

I have the purple reate exo u and I love it. My only complaint is as a lefty, I wish there was a lock on both sides. I have to use my index figure.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for weighing in as a lefty on these

[@Settledownsally]

Milwaukee has a button lock flipper as well! And a blade quick release!

[@Settledownsally]

And deep pocket carry

[@nd4spdbh]

Been rocking Gerber EAB lite for years love it, I switched Serrated Utility blades (I went rapid tools / rapid edge) and it made it even better.

[@NickyDiesel]

what are the ones on your site that say coming soon? I see it says the blade is slightly longer, when are those coming?

[@aydan7901]

Love my Civivi utility and just picked up a silver Exo-U, as I couldn't resist. Can't wait to see it in hand. Also you only need to loosen the screw a couple times not completely remove it to change blades.

[@reaper2thejohn]

Just got my black exo u, super dope!

[@juncho1977]

Are these gravity utility knives considered the same as a restricted gravity knife?

[@Jesus.X]

I agree seems sketchy to carry a gravity box cutter in any metropolitan area speaking legally.

[@jaimebalubal]

I kinda understand the hate, but not everyone is living in the backwoods needing a survival knife, lets be honest. Some of us, me included, just need a utility blade for packages and the like. Price wise I get it, but to each thier own. Used and abused Milwaukee fastback, now to throw some money at the fancy fidgets 😅

[@FWCaptain-kv6sm]

i bought the olight can't get civivi knifes in canada

[@AGV8R]

Black is my choice, Reate!

[@flhandster4395]

What's the thought between the diamond pattern versus speed hole scales? Any real practical difference either way? Or, just a preference thing? Thanks in advance.

[@SMKWcom]

Preference and texture

[@ugachaca5972]

the amazon basic ones are good?? cause they are really cheap

[@josephgroff4131]

without a doubt i need one of these

[@SMKWcom]

Fun and fidgety while helping out at work!

[@SMS2884]

Not sure why people knock on this. I just got a reate EXO-U. Amazing for opening packages. Literally what i use it for at work. If i need to do more than i have other knives.

[@KyleTheDalek]

Are they easy to sharpen? Also really need to see more designs with mass production of different blade styles (seen one knife like that.) Also a slip joint version, both modern and traditional. The modern one with a choil would be really nice for areas with crappy laws.

[@The_RC_Guru]

To. To sharpen? They’re replaceable utility blades.

[@KyleTheDalek]

@@The_RC_Guru I know but some times it’s a waste of materials.

[@The_RC_Guru]

@@KyleTheDalek i imagine they’re easy to sharpen with stones. I’ve stropped new ones a couple times for my pocket folding one. But I don’t think many folks sharpen them they’re so cheap.

[@CDXRK]

Take a look at the razorgen2 by surge panchenco. It's a slip joint utility blade holders made of g10 and TI. Perfect for UK edc imo comes in at around 150 quid

[@dansaenz1825]

Civivi really screwed up with that T8 screw. Who walks around with that tool? The whole idea behind a utility blade is changing out the blade quickly. They fix that issue, they got a winner.

[@Cynocehali]

To me it's a collector/tool thing. It just encourages more tinkering. I wouldn't carry extra blades anyways.

[@strikenryken]

Can they cut and peel an apple? If not I stick to a regular knife.

[@tomfoil5590]

Be careful using that Reate Exo-U. The blade pops out super easy with very little pressure while cutting. I believe it's due to the butterfly clip that holds it in place. Has anyone here ever experienced this issue? It happened to me twice yesterday while using it.

[@doktorb3at]

I've been using mine for cutting tons of boxes and re-purposing plastic bottles without any problems.

[@glenngoins3100]

I've herd of that happening, but I'm not sure if it was the reott .

[@Genesis992]

I got the elementum. It’s a very smooth knife! If it had a tool-free blade change, my TiRant would have something to worry about.

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Yellow looks great

[@marclucier2533]

Milwaukee fastback. Because at the end of the day it’s not worth 77 bucks to hold a .50 cent blade

[@HollywoodEDC]

I dont see the Exceed Designs TiRant V3 on the table. You guys are SLACKIN! its easily better than both of these.

[@KF7UCK]

Is there anyone who can find a blade that actually fits in the Reate???? I have both of these, but the Exo-U is a fidget toy because I can’t get any blades to fit.

[@racecar9183]

Awesome thanks

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching!

[@ozzlayer]

I still prefer my old Gerber Prybrid from 5 years ago. Does everything i need....and more. More practical and affordable

[@walterbwd]

I thought the exou was suposed to be like 45. Not 75!!!

[@frankberkemeier]

These knives will have a place and time for a certain customer base, I do appreciate that. I am not in that ballpark. Lazy knives 😊 Still, informative video for the earlier mentioned customer base.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching

[@Jesus.X]

Paying more than 15 bucks for a box cutter is ridiculous this is how prices in the regular knife market got out of hand. Just get a Coast DX126 if you need a utility knife aka a box cutter. 12 bucks.

[@jeremiahburns9102]

I have a craftsman does that count 😂

[@SMKWcom]

Means you were cool before it was cool

[@marclucier2533]

When scoring sheet rock, cutting plastic straps, and trimming tyvex on the job site becomes boujee.

[@solidus1995]

Got my reate today but don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. No one is running utility knives for EDC. I will however.

[@tchambers807]

As an older guy I've been carrying a utility knife for longer than I've been carrying a cell phone. That being said, they didn't make them like these when i was a kid

[@dhawk6896]

A cardboard cutter is just that A knife is for the real world chores

[@michaelandrew8493]

Go bills

[@ben9and1-3rd]

👍🍻

[@BillBranscome]

Utility knives are the new edc?😂not for this old southern country boy! 😂

[@452Rob]

Agreed. I keep a Milwaukee Fastback in my truck, one in my shop tool box and one in the garage. I keep a real knife in pocket. And the blade change in the Fast back is push a bottom, swap blade. Having to have a torx driver for a utility knife is for a kid that wants a toy…not a man that needs a tool. Everything is marketing these days.

[@452Rob]

That should say push button, swap blade. Can’t freaking edit YT comments anymore without logging in to the app😡

[@Triaz357]

I have a feeling these are more for the EDC crowd that have well moisturized hands that’s never turned a wrench 😂

[@ivy1974]

There is a Milwaukee Fastback as small as a pocketknife. Carry that and a folder is what I do.

[@336W]

That's because the new generation is too lazy to learn how to sharpen a real knife.

[@richardvirchow3390]

Sorry - not going to buy utility knives from premium knife dealers. I bought 2 for 1 Husky brand utility knives for $15 at Home Depot.

[@davidnolan5781]

No need to apologize. We don’t know who you are.

[@KungFuTweety1]

I find this trend ridiculous and funny...

[@SMKWcom]

Different knives for different folks, thanks for watching

[@Triaz357]

Utility blades are the new EDC? 😂 looks like they just found new ways to make utility blades uglier, more expensive and overly complicated. I mean I keep one in my work truck and there’s one in a kitchen drawer but I think I’ll stick to my Bark River, Buck or Esee for carrying.

[@DavidV4444]

China = no, utility blades = no for me and in my humble opinion.

[@hiramramos8575]

Nooo 25$ OTᗩᑕᒪᗴ ᑌI 110% 👍👍👍 ᗷᗴՏT
