Description

Fixed Knife Extrema Ratio FULCRUM S BLACK. Probably a milestone among multipurpose knives. It is used on a large scale in Afghanistan as standard equipment by members of the Italian “Nibbio” mission and is part of an experimental project of the Alpine Troops Headquarters aimed at the renewal of individual equipment. In preparation for this mission, the Alpine Troops Command coordinated a team of companies in the implementation of a new and complete experimental set of individual equipment. Extrema Ratio is the company chosen by the Alpine Command to develop a multipurpose knife suitable for infantry, a knife that can be used in any action and can successfully solve any type of problem, even when specialized equipment proves insufficient. it was so successful that the multi-purpose knife then led to the development of the Fulcrum bayonet, which had the same features but could be attached to an issued rifle. The Fulcrum is an extremely robust and versatile knife, the blade can withstand a load of over 150 kg without breaking, the tip is incredibly robust and the “tanto” profile means that the knife can be used for long periods of time without affecting the sharpness of the last section, this guarantees, together with the partially sharp dorsal blade (civilian version does not include this), its penetration ability, which is essential in close combat against targets with heavy clothing, clothing and soft ballistic protection. The forward center of gravity and weight make it suitable for heavy field work. The speed and facilities with which both routine and emergency maintenance can be performed make the Fulcrum an excellent choice for large-scale applications from an economic and administrative point of view.
