The Ant is the most compact among Extrema Ratio's folding knives. Despite its small size, this model features an extremely sturdy, durable, and reliable structure.

The Ant Rescue, unlike other versions, has a cheek piece in red coloration that allows the operator to more easily locate the knife in case of a fall. This version is equipped with a specific serration that allows cutting ropes and even high-tensile aramid materials. Moreover, this model has a tapered tang that serves as an emergency screwdriver. The Ant Rescue has been developed according to the needs expressed by the "Italian Army Alpine Troops School".

The handle is made of two different elements: the cheek piece crafted from anodized anticorodal aluminum and the hardened steel frame which also serves as the blade lock (Frame Lock System). This mechanism involves a part of the frame bending inward to firmly secure the blade in the open position, enhancing the user's safety during the knife's use.

The tang features a hole for the insertion of a lanyard, and on the right side of the handle, there is a steel clip that allows for concealed carry in the pocket.

The Ant is available in 4 versions with two different types of steel, both provided by Böhler, an Austrian company with which Extrema Ratio has been collaborating for over 20 years, using its highly esteemed materials for the production of its blades.

For the Stone Washed M390 version, Extrema Ratio uses Böhler M390 steel, thermally treated to 61 HRC, which, thanks to a powder metallurgy production process, ensures cutting effectiveness, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance over time.

The blade is sheep foot-shaped and has a small hole on the top part to facilitate opening. Its particular structure, with a straight edge, allows the user to comfortably rest their fingers on the back of the knife and use it with ease.

ABOUT THE STEEL

More than just a damask, Coreless steel made by Japanese Takefu Steel comes with over 70 layers of VG10 and VG2 stainless steel welded, forged and coated between them so that you can form a lightweight, slim and durable blade with a spectacular damask outer pattern.

The peculiarity of Coreless steel, unlike conventional rolled steel or Japanese San-Mai, is that it does not have a hard core steel that is used for the cutting edge but has both the VG10 and VG2 steels arranged to form the cutting edge so alternating and sequential to each other.

This particular construction gives the blade - compared to the two steels that make it, individually taken - greater resistance to oxidation, higher surface hardness (up to 61.5HRC), 25% more than cutting capacity, 25% more than the wire hold capacity and 25% more resilience making the blade more robust and less subject to breakage.

Thanks to this latest steel, Takefu Steel has been rewarded on Japanese territory for research and development and innovation in the cutting-edge landscape. Coreless steel has already been chosen by major brands such as Kai and Mcusta Zanmai who since 2017 proposed it on their top productions of professional kitchen knives.
