Remette RT-Cool Whale RTCL-T3 – Pearlescent M390 Reverse Tanto with Anodized Titanium
The Remette RT-Cool Whale RTCL-T3 is a premium everyday carry folding knife built around a 3.15" M390 stainless steel blade finished with Remette's hand-ground pearlescent satin surface effect. The blade's reverse tanto profile pairs a strong tip with a gently curved edge for controlled, precise cutting, while the lighting anodized titanium handle — created with a titanium-fired pickling process — gives every knife a distinctive, iridescent color pattern. A liner lock keeps the blade securely engaged, and at just 4 oz the Cool Whale carries easily all day.

Design & Materials
The Remette RT-Cool Whale RTCL-T3's M390 blade is one of the most sought-after powder metallurgy steels in production knives, prized for outstanding edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and the ability to take an exceptionally fine edge. Remette finishes each blade with a manual grinding process that produces a pearlescent satin surface with unusual depth and luster.
The titanium handle is anodized using a titanium-fired pickling process that creates the Cool Whale's signature lighting color effect — a swirling, iridescent pattern that makes each individual knife unique. Titanium keeps the handle lightweight and rigid, and the integrated liner lock provides dependable blade lockup with simple one-hand closing.
