To maintain the Terminator theme: if I was the Cyborg in Terminator I, then this is the knife I would want to use to remove the damaged organic material from around my optical sensor. A knife this cool would make that scene even better.

This is my first knife designed by Tashi Bharucha. The design language is striking and very cool. I really like the shape of the flipper and the way that the flipper is a part of the shape of the blade. The handle is very comfortable for my medium sized hand and I like the size and angle of the thumb ramp.

As usual for a Reate, the flipping action and build quality are excellent. Also as usual for a Reate, the blade stock is a bit thick and it is ground a bit too thick behind the edge. This is normal for Reate, and I wish they would put some of their blades on a diet. Even with the thick blade, I still highly recommend that you buy a T3000 if you can.
