WAKI XXV ANNIVERSARIUM LIMITED EDITION is a limited series version of only 150 pieces that keeps all the features of the famous Waki model intact.

This product is an elaboration of the Japanese Wakizashi sword, a typical blade 30 to 60 centimeters long, which the Samurai always carried in contact with the body, where the Katana was carried exclusively in battle.

The blade has the classic Japanese Tanto profile and is made of Böhler N690 steel with heat treatments that raise its hardness to 58 HRC for the best combination of edge hold and strength. The blade, with flat rounding, features a precious satin finish.

The handle, in black coloring, is made of Forprene while The black-colored Cordura sheath is equipped with a MOLLE system that ensures safe carrying of the razor-sharp blade by protecting it from shocks that could reduce its efficiency.

WAKI XXV ANNIVERSARIUM LIMITED EDITION comes in an IP67-certified watertight Polypropylene technical case with pressurization valve that is weather, dust and shock resistant. Also inside is a metal plaque with the numbering of the limited series of 150 and a commemorative coin of the twenty-fifth Extrema Ratio anniversary.

Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna. Reproduction of one of the various versions of the Arkansas Toothpick, legendary frontier knife of the American 1800s. Famous, often infamous, it generally has a 30 to 50 cm blade, rather narrow and sometimes symmetrical, dagger-style. Used mainly for hunting and personal defence.

Livio Montagna's version is aesthetically very similar to the Toothpick used in Expandables 2.

The knife is distinguished by an excellent overall balance, allowing control and precision in use. The finish is of a good standard.
