SPECIFICATIONS
Extrema Ratio RAO Black Ruvido Tactical Pocket Knife
In June 2006, the “185° Rgt. Ricognizione e Acquisizione Obiettivi” (Target Acquisition Regiment) airborne “FOLGORE” (185° RAO) entrusted to Extrema Ratio the development of a unique knife fitting the unit’s specific operational duties. This resulted in the RAO: not an oversized folder as much as a compact survival & field EDC pocket knife, with a heavy and dependable blade. Its very reliable locking system, assisted by an extra safety device, effectively turns this folder into a fixed blade knife.
The function of opening and closing this folding knife has to be performed with both hands in order to minimise the risk of self-inflicted injuries because the blade, due to its weight, is a veritable guillotine. The extra safe device feature is a steel pin that is hand-screwed through 2 holes by the guard section of the massive Anticorodal aluminum handle. The sheath forms an essential part of this weapon system: it includes a diamond-plate sharpener and enables user to carry the knife either in open position, held in place by a cord and 2 clips, or closed, inside the front pocket. The sheath can be attached to tactical vests or common belts, being MOLLE system compatible. This Extrema Ratio RAO Ruvido Folding Knife features a rough handle for a better grip.
