The Herring dagger is one of the most loved military knives by enthusiasts.

Its original name is Fairbairn Sykes or Commando Dagger and it was present in the endowment of the British Commandos.

A dagger that entered Italian history in World War II, thanks to the exploits of young soldiers of the 1st "Folgore" Reconnaissance Squadron, who were equipped with this weapon during Operation Herring. He has behind him a heroic piece of history that is rarely talked about, despite the fact that these young boys, thanks to their devotion to the cause and their courage, have written an important page in Italian history.

Extrema Ratio wanted to pay homage to this dagger trying to remain faithful to the original forms, while using the most modern production techniques.

The very special hand-made finish of the handle simulates the aging of brass and gives the dagger a dated look, similar to the original.

The dagger was developed in collaboration with the 185th RAO and adopted as a ceremonial commemorative dagger for the 20th anniversary of the regiment's establishment and the 75th anniversary of the Herring mission.

The knife is equipped with a polymer case with historical frieze of the F Squadron, leather / kydex sheath with brass tip and two commemorative scrolls.

PLEASE NOTE:
NE version, simulacrum replica with rounded tip and blunt blade, to allow free sale and possession according to the current regulations in force on the Italian territory.

We warn that any subsequent modifications and sharpening made to the blade modify the status of simulacrum of the Herring NE. In this case it will be subject to the regulations in force in the respective countries. Furthermore, these changes will void the Extrema Ratio warranty.

In collaboration with Wander Tactical, a unique and exclusive piece to collect, the Godfather model, in a satin blade version with San Mai Japanese steel blade produced by Takefu Steel.
This time, in the rich catalog of products offered by them, we have chosen a particular steel with a carbon cutting edge, but with external stainless steel cheeks. Specifically, for the central sheet we used the carbonaceous V-Toku2 at 62 / 63HRC and the SUS410 for external lamination in order to guarantee a very high cutting, penetration and sealing capacity of the wire together with an ease of regrinding and maintenance; at the same time the blade has a remarkable corrosion resistance and an important increase in resilience given by the laminated structure.
