Just a short drive from our headquarters lies REO Town, the historic heart of Lansing where the REO Motor Car Company first began its legacy of American industrial innovation. The ACE REO - Black & Brass is a direct tribute to that heritage, designed to embody the same focus on quality and craftsmanship that once defined the golden age of automotive manufacturing. This version takes the iconic ACE REO silhouette and cloaks it in a deep Black PVD finish across both the milled Titanium scales and the premium CPM-Magnacut blade, creating a look that is as enduring as the history it honors.

The dark, industrial aesthetic is elevated by vibrant brass accents on the pivot collar and backspacer, providing a warm contrast that will evolve and patina, telling its own story over years of use. By merging the spirit of old-world manufacturing with modern materials, we’ve created a folder that feels like a piece of Lansing history in the pocket. It is a tool for those who value the narrative behind their gear and demand a knife that balances sophisticated design with the rugged reliability required for a lifetime of hard work.
