Fixed Blade Knives: sturdiness and versatility for every adventure

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the Spartan-Harsey Kukri knife has been designed to be a highly durable hiking knife. The kukri features a blade of over 22cm, making it an all-around tool due to its center of mass, allowing the user to slice while cutting to even penetrate thick objects.

While this blade is primarily famous for its military use, the kukri is more commonly employed as a multi-purpose tool in fields and homes across Nepal. Its uses range from construction, clearing, cutting firewood, digging, butchering animals for food, slicing meat and vegetables, skinning animals, to opening cans.

It can function as a smaller knife using the narrower part of the blade closer to the handle. The heavier and wider end of the blade, towards the tip, functions as a hatchet or a small shovel.

Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna. Excellent reproduction of one of the most iconic knives ever: the classic Bowie. A knife created by Rezin Bowie in the early 19th century for his brother Jim Bowie, the famous American pioneer whose rather reckless life is now shrouded in legend.

Livio Montagna's excellent craftsmanship does justice to this piece of history with its classic and timeless stylistic features: the double guard, the clip point blade, the handle in natural material.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Master.

TACTICAL KNIVES MEET THE KITCHEN!

Extrema Ratio is delighted to apply the strict military standards to a range of professional kitchen knives.

The steel blade is the proven BOHLER N690, a steel enriched with chrome, vanadium, molybdenum and cobalt, hardened to the hardness of 58HRC. The handle is made of Forprene, an elastomer that is in the "NATO standard" for resistance to extreme conditions, and is completely removable from the blade; this makes possible a thorough cleaning and maintenance of the knife.

Each knife comes with its own sheath, also of military origin, which does not take into account the rules of hygiene but ensures safe transport dell'affilatissima blade and protection from shocks that could reduce efficiency. We recommend to use it only for the transport and in the event of long periods of inactivity.

Extrema Ratio is proud to present the Culter Venatorius that, so as not to contradict the current address is a technical knife, practical, perhaps a bit 'specialized and that gives a nod to tradition and to the tastes of the most traditionalist hunters who like to do everything yourself.

The Latin motto engraved on the blade reads:

"I am the hunting knife, I am the claw beak and fang of my master. My job is as old as the flesh and blood.", We find that describes significantly the pure essence of the instrument.

We feel to say that if a tool could be capable of humor probably would have added: "It 'a dirty job ... but someone has to do it ...".

The Culter Venatorius, more than a knife, is a complete equipment for slaughtering and skinning of medium and medium-large sized prey, suitable for ungulate hunters.

The kit includes: a knife to slaughter and general use, one skinner provided with cross handle to skin and clean the internal organs the animal, a carver to skin head and snout and a stone with two grains for regrinding of all instruments.

These accessories are contained in the sleeve pocket leather fat-crafted.

The sheath while maintaining the traditional lines, is completely reversible (both the pocket that the passer can be disassembled and applied on the other face of the sheath) and to secure the side which holds the knife has the ambidextrous release. The sheath is handmade by a master saddler leather first-aged choice.

And 'possible to bring the sheath is vertical to the belt connected to the leg, which in a comfortable horizontal position, the shoulder or stopped at the waist with a long belt kit with buckle and snap hooks.

The handle in cocobolo oiled is long enough to allow the use of the knife as a little machete or chopper and thin enough to allow precision cuts.

The blade is in the classic Bohler N690, an excellent steel chrome molybdenum vanadium and cobalt which deserved to become a standard in technical and professional cutlery.

The finish is satin.

The Culter Venatorius is dedicated to all those who wish an Extrema Ratio as batting partner.
