About Extrema Ratio:
Our assault units the “Arditi” had their own knife. They made these knives by cutting off the tips of their long bladed “Vetterli” bayonets of 1870 which in the past had been problematic due to its long and unwieldly length. Today on the occasion of its centenary, we remember this important piece of Italian military history with a celebratory version of 1,918 pieces only.
This version comes with black blade and a black cordura sheath. Should you like further history and background to this unique knife you may find more in the book “Storia dell’arma bianca italiana” by Cesare Calamandrei ISBN 978-88-253-0199-1
The material used for the Blade is Bohler N690 Cobalt Steel, nicknamed „Austrian 440“. The Steel has its nick from the Austrian manufacturer Bohler, who is the only company that makes this steel, worldwide.
