EXTREMA RATIO 39-09 OPERATIVO

Description

The result of a project sponsored by COFS (the inter-force operations command for Italian special forces) and its former Commander-in-chief, Gen. Bertolini – not to mention advocated for by knife collectors worldwide – the EXTREMA RATIO 39-09 OPERATIVO combat knife is a restyling of the Model 1939 “paracadutista assaltatore” (assault paratrooper) knife, a celebrated piece of Italian military history. While preserving the original shape, structure and proportions, EXTREMA RATIO managed to reinforce by adding increased functionality and manufactured the 39-09 OPERATIVO combat knife to contemporary military specifications from up-to-date materials. Small changes make the EXTREMA RATIO 39-09 OPERATIVO a highly effective and dependable dagger. The included hard sheath is designed to be worn at the ankle, in the characteristic fashion of Italian paratroopers. The version 39-09 OPERATIVO is black oxide-coated, wearing no logo and delivered with calf sheath.
