Big, bigger, Midgards! If you're looking for a solid knife with a distinctive signature, you can't go wrong with Dirk Hofmeister of Midgards Messer. Even the Norse gods have recognized this and recently insisted on a folding version of the renowned Boker Plus Hermod. The designer from Lake Constance has fulfilled the demanding desires of Asgard, presenting a fully functional pocket knife that excels in even the most challenging cutting tasks. Powerful, fearless, and above all practical: the Hermod Folder impresses in every aspect.

Powerful, the blade on ball bearings in D2 with a stonewash finish. Epic, the ergonomic handle made from G10, CNC-milled with anti-slip diagonal mosaic texture, seamlessly connects to the tip-up clip. The nail for opening and the impressive linerlock for blade locking are legendary. An additional safety pin or forelock is screwed into the front of the handle to increase work and transport safety and prevent accidental closure or opening. The jimping on the spine of the blade, extending over the entire top of the handle including the overlays, ensures maximum user ergonomics.

The spacer that integrates a lanyard hole, also usable as a lifesaving glass breaker, offers additional transport options. Supplied with a high-quality nylon sheath and the spirit of the Nordic blacksmith.

Thanks to its structure, RAO C is a tool that despite its small size, manages to guarantee the same qualities of robustness and reliability as its big brother while offering better portability and manageability.

The locking mechanism on opening is particularly strong as it is assisted by a safety system that turns it into a true fixed blade. The primary safety on the blade is activated by raising and lowering the locking pin. To provide the user with maximum safety in use, a practical and quick secondary safety has been applied, which can be activated simply by moving the locking pin horizontally.

For the purpose of lightening the steel frames, a template was laser-cut from the profile of the RAO C, which was then used to make a gadget that is delivered with the knife.

As one of the four smiths, the dwarf Dvalin crafted the Brisingamen necklace for the Germanic goddess of love, Freya. In Norse mythology, this special jewel was attributed with magic, love, but also pain and suffering. Freya's tears in the sky always promised rich fruits on earth.

However, it was the wrath of the father of the gods, Odin, that often drove the goddess of love to instigate wars in the world of men. Dirk Hofmeister from Midgards Messer was inspired by the art of Nordic forging and created the folding blade version of the beloved Little Dvalin.

The powerful Dvalin Folder Tanto stands out for its compact size and features a Tanto blade in D2 steel with ball bearings, finished with a rough stonewash appearance and equipped with a deep groove on both sides for opening the folding knife using the recess as a nail lever.

The groove on the top of the blade provides a secure support for the thumb during complex cutting operations. Despite the wrath of the gods, the well-formed and partially grooved G10 handle always fits firmly in the hand. On the back of the handle is the stainless steel Frame Lock that securely locks the blade.

With a commercial 3D printer, it is possible to print alternative handles in a variety of shapes, colors, and materials. The Tip-Up (r) clip mirrors the texture of the handle, while the hole for the lanyard enhances ease of use. It comes with a high-quality nylon case for storage.

RESOLZA, a term of ancient origin, is today one of the most famous traditional knives of our country. The name suggests the razor by chance.

It was born in Sardinia centuries ago and has accompanied its inhabitants until today in the daily work of a peasant and pastoral life, following them even when its men were called to war. The chronicles of the Sassari Brigade during the First World War cite this knife among its soldiers' equipment.

We wanted to make a tribute by revisiting it according to our canons, without wanting to hurt any of the prestigious Sardinian artisans who still today pass on the tradition and wisdom of their ancestors. The dimensions and proportions are the original ones of a 10 cm blade, but the materials and technologies are those of our production. The handle revised in our style, the blade most faithful to tradition. In addition to the original, it has the blade lock open.

Based in Livorno, it is an atypical department of the artillery weapon, currently inserted in the Special Forces basin.

Entirely composed of voluntary personnel, the 185th RAO selects its components through the passing of a physical test and a qualification course on modules '' with increasing difficulty ''. The tasks entrusted to the RAO's men are many, but all very delicate: it is about gathering information on enemy objectives and 'passing them' to one's command. More generally, it can talk about '' recognition in sensitive areas ''. '' It is therefore evident - they stress to the Army - that the activity of the acquirer takes place mainly in hostile territory, in small self-sufficient nuclei that act in isolation ''.

RAO paratroopers are specialists in '' infiltration and exfiltration '' techniques and are able to move in the operating area '' for up to 8-10 days without external supplies ''. They know how to 'escape from capture, escape and escape from an' enemy controlled area '' and, above all, as '' identify, determine and evaluate objectives '' of strategic interest. Since 2002, the year of reconfiguration, the 185th Regiment detachments have operated in all the hottest operational theaters: from the Balkans to Afghanistan, to Iraq. Here they mainly carry out surveys for medium and long-range information purposes and for monitoring the area of ​​responsibility of the Italian contingent.
