Extrema Ratio developed the first knife of a new production line, called CONTACT.

It has a blade with a lance-shaped profile, a flat grinding and a diamond-shaped geometry. It has got a lower guard branch to protect itself from incidental cuts, upper jumping to improve grip, concave fuller along the length of the blade and a generous thickness blade (6.30mm) the now famous Requiem, revisited in proportions and in some technical features. The first of a new line of multipurpose knives.

The blade is made in Böhler N690 steel with a hardness of 58 HRC and a chemical burnishing coating for the Black version. All other colors in production have got a blade with Stone Washed finishing. The handle is still in forprene. It is more assembled by the side screws but thanks to the shank in truncated cone-shaped stainless steel that is screwed to the bottom and goes to fit inside a special seat, which makes it solid. In this way the knife is well balanced. The sheath is minimalist; most of the fabric has been cut off; it has got a 2nd level retention system, remembering the style of the model it was inspired by.

The main shell is injection-molded in shockproof nylon. The secondary retention system is reversible for ambidextrous users. The blade is guided through the conception of the blade. To extract the blade, to pressure the trigger will be sufficient, thus releasing the safety that holds securely in the sheath. In the horizontal slits of the sheath of a system, which fixes the blade to avoid shaking noises when it is stored inside. The back side of the nylon sheath is M.O.L.L.E. compatible.

The textile part is reduced to its minimum and has got the classic two-button safety strap with a belt loop Extrema Ratio aims to reduce the size of the knife, but not saving on the structural strength and safety accessories.

The blades are in fact carbon-hardened to a hardness of around 40 HRC after which, after being hammered by hand, the back and sides are covered with clay and the wire tempered at 60 HRC to have excellent cutting capacity, penetration and flexibility. The knife is then polished and sharpened by hand on stone and finished in every single detail.
