Extrema Ratio 39-09 SPECIAL EDITION
SPECIAL EDITIONS, ORDINANCE KNIVES, COLLECTING KNIVES, TACTICS / COMBAT KNIVES, KNIVES
The result of a project sponsored by COFS (the inter-force operations command for Italian special forces) and its former Commander-in-chief, Gen. Bertolini – not to mention advocated for by knife collectors worldwide – this combat knife 39-09 is a restyling of the Model 1939 “paracadutista assaltatore” (assault paratrooper) knife, a celebrated piece of Italian military history. While preserving the original shape, structure and proportions, we managed to reinforce, add increased functionality and manufacture this combat knife to contemporary military specifications from up-to-date materials. Small changes which make it a highly effective, dependable dagger. The included hard sheath is designed to be worn at the ankle, in the characteristic fashion of Italian paratroopers. The 39-09 SPECIAL EDITION version, numbered, unlimited edition, has wooden hilt, satin-finish blade and details and COFS logo & motto. It comes in a black wooden case, including a parade belt sheath.
Information above taken directly from the website. I purchased this new. Never used or carried. Fantastic knife! I have an original 1939 knife, and this is an outstanding restyling. I got a very good deal on this blade. Complete minus the box. These retail for anywhere between $800 and $900. Price is $525.00 shipped in the US. Payment by PayPal F&F. Please see my feedback.
