I don’t know that I would go so far as to say that knifemakers and designers are running out of ideas. But it’s safe to say that it’s harder for individual knives to stand out these days. The market is almost oversaturated with great options.
So when something comes out that’s a unique spin or fresh novelty, it’s worth taking notice. Such is the case with Remette’s RT-Meteor — a spectacular high-end EDC knife that doubles down on intrigue with a dual-lock system.
Locks on locks
Perhaps the most interesting thing about Remette’s RT-Meteor is its lock mechanism — or rather mechanisms. The knife has a button-actuated frame lock.
That means it sports a traditional frame lock — the kind pioneered by Chris Reeve based on Michael Walker’s liner lock design. However, in addition to functioning traditionally, it can also be disengaged in a second way.
Toward the upper spine on the presentation handle scale, there’s an ovular button that disengages the frame lock when the knife is open. You can choose whichever method you want to use to disengage the lock, making this knife exceptionally user-friendly (and a little fidget-friendly, too).
