Charter - Milled Titanium
- Milled or Plain Titanium
- Premium M390 Steel
- Ceramic Caged Bearings
- Ambidextrous Deep Carry Pocket Clip
Designed by custom knifemaker and ABS Journeyman Smith Mak Kelsay, the Charter is a slim titanium flipper folder built for refined everyday carry. The 3.25” flat ground drop point blade is made from Böhler M390 - an Austrian super-steel produced via proprietary powder metallurgy, prized for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance.
The handle scales, pivot, thumb stud, and backspacer are all machined from Grade 5 titanium, available in smooth or milled basketweave pattern. Ceramic caged bearings and a flipper or thumb stud opening deliver fast, low-friction deployment. Our signature stainless steel ambidextrous fold-over deep-carry clip keeps carry discreet in any pocket. Manufactured by Reate to their characteristically high standard of fit and finish.
Böhler M390 Steel
Produced by the Böhler-Uddeholm Metallurgical Group in Austria using a proprietary 3rd generation Microclean powder technology, M390 is a widely revered "super-steel" due to its extremely high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. M390 is a high-performance steel that stays sharp for extended use, making it ideal for everyday carry knives.
Grade 5 Titanium
The handle scales, pivot, thumb stud, and backspacer are all machined from Grade 5 titanium. Titanium is ideal for high-end, high-performance knives because it is both lightweight and has a high strength-to-density ratio.
Ceramic Caged Bearings
Equipped with premium ceramic caged bearings for silky smooth, lightning fast opening action. Ceramic bearings do not rust, corrode, or react with lubrication.
Stainless Steel Fold Over Ambidextrous Deep-Carry Pocket Clip
Our signature pocket clip was designed to look good from any angle. Whether you have your clip situated for left or right-handed carry, the trough and screw holes for reversing the clip are concealed. Made from durable stainless steel.

Lifetime Warranty
We stand behind our products 100%. All Ocaso knives carry a limited lifetime warranty. We warrant that our knives are free of defects in workmanship and materials. If one of our knives ever breaks or fails because of a material or manufacturing defect, we’ll repair or replace the knife. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage, breakage or failure caused by misuse, lack of normal maintenance, or disassembly.
Grade 5 Titanium
The Charter's handle scales, pivot, thumb stud, and backspacer are all machined from Grade 5 titanium. Stronger than most steels at a fraction of the weight, titanium is naturally corrosion-resistant and maintains its appearance over years of carry. The handle is available in a smooth finish for a clean look, or a milled basketweave pattern that adds grip and texture without changing the knife's slim profile.
SMOOTH, FAST DEPLOYMENT
Two opening methods - flipper and thumb stud - give you fast, one-handed access however you prefer to carry. Ceramic caged bearings in the pivot reduce friction and wear, delivering an action that is smooth and consistent from the first flip to the thousandth. Ceramic bearings are harder and more corrosion-resistant than steel, making them a premium choice for a knife built to last.
Exceptional Fit and Finish
Precision machined to tight tolerances, with a centered blade, clean surface finishes, and consistent fit throughout. Every detail reflects the standards of Reate, one of the most respected names in production knife manufacturing.
