Extrema Ratio

ERMES is the commemorative knife developed in collaboration with the Special Operations Helicopter Regiment (R.E.O.S.) which is part of the Army Aviation Command.

The R.E.O.S. is the operational unit of helicopters in support of special forces composed of personnel specifically trained and equipped to support military activities in any operational context.

The stylized guards of the knife represent the wings present in the heraldic coat of arms of the unit. The steel used is the reliable Bölher N690Co heat treated to 58 HRC. Fiber Reinforced Nylon (FRN) polyamide polymer was chosen for the handle. The hybrid Kydex and fabric sheath is equipped with belt or harness attachment with MOLLE interface system.

It is available in two versions:
"ERMES SATIN ORDINANZAR" with satin finish blade and ABS case.
"ERMES BLACK OPERATIVO", with the burnished blade.

Born from the revisitation of the 39-09 model, the Nimbus was developed and chosen by the 183rd "Nembo" Paratrooper Regiment as a commemorative knife of the events of Case Grizzano which on 19 April 1945 saw the Nembo paratroopers engaged against the paratroopers of a German division . The clashes raged for 12 hours and were often resolved by hand-to-hand combat with the white weapon. A few days after the end of the Second World War one third of the battalion's men remained on the field, but their sacrifice led to the conquest of the battle. The knife in addition to wanting to commemorate an important event of our Armed Forces is the result of a development that has been carefully studied also in the technical aspects, so as to make it suitable for a concrete operational use.

Particular attention has been paid to taking care of the dimensions, the shape and the search for solutions such as the kydex sheath, which is designed to make the knife an instrument capable of adapting to the most complex requirements of the port.

The light and compact blade meets the demands of a modern tactical knife today.
