Reate Vulpex VK-CLU Folding Knife – Hand Rubbed Elmax & Crystallized Titanium
The Reate Vulpex VK-CLU Folding Knife is a premium titanium folder that combines refined finishing, high-performance materials, and Reate’s precise manufacturing. This version stands out with a 3.5-inch hand rubbed satin Elmax blade paired with a distinctive crystallized gray titanium and bead blasted titanium handle, giving the knife a high-end custom-inspired appearance.
The blade is made from Elmax stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel valued for its strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and balanced toughness. Its hand rubbed satin finish gives the blade a clean, polished appearance while emphasizing the grind lines and overall geometry. At 3.5 inches long and approximately 0.135 inches thick, the blade offers a versatile size for collectors and everyday carry users alike.
One of the defining features of the Vulpex VK-CLU is its two-tone titanium handle construction. The combination of crystallized gray titanium and bead blasted titanium creates noticeable contrast while maintaining the durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight strength associated with premium titanium folding knives.
A liner lock secures the blade during use while preserving the sleek exterior profile of the handle. The Vulpex also includes an ambidextrous pocket clip configuration that supports right- or left-handed tip-up carry, making it adaptable to different carry preferences.
Measuring 7.75 inches overall and weighing 5.08 ounces, the Reate Vulpex offers a substantial feel without becoming overly cumbersome in the pocket. Its combination of premium blade steel, intricate titanium finishing, and precision construction makes it a strong option for collectors looking for something more distinctive than a traditional production folder.
For buyers searching for a Reate folding knife, Elmax pocket knife, titanium EDC knife, premium liner lock knife, or hand rubbed satin blade, the Vulpex VK-CLU brings together performance-oriented materials and collector-grade styling in one carefully executed design.
