Hi, guys.
I'm selling two Extrema Ratio folders: the monster 185* RAO and compact BF2 Pitbull.
Asking $275 for the RAO, $55 for the Pitbull, or $300 for both together.
Let me start with the lesser-known BF2 Pitbull, which has been out of production for some time now. It was ER's urban EDC blade. Small and light, it disappears into the pocket with it's extremely deep-carry clip. There's a full-sized grip, but the blade is just 2.5" in length so it's legal to carry almost anywhere (same formula as the Emerson CQC-14 Snubby). Unlike the more common BF1 Line, the BF2 models feature an additional thumb safety to prevent the liner lock from accidentally disengaging. This knife has been carried and used; it shows normal wear-and-tear.
As for the 185* RAO ... you all know what it is LOL. I've always wanted one and bought it earlier this year to be my deep woods knife: I was looking for a folder to take the place of a modestly sized fixed blade. Not long after I bought it, I was offered a Bob Dozier Workhorse, which was the original "overbuilt" folder (designed back in '98 or '99). I only have room for one monster folder in my life, and the Dozier gets the nod.
To put this knife into perspective, here's the RAO compared to a CRK Sebenza 21 Insingo:
That's a thick blade! But surprisingly, it cuts very well.
The RAO locks up rock solid with zero play in any direction. It has never been carried, sharpened, or used hard. The day I got it, I tested it in the kitchen (on celery, apples, a pineapple, and some ribeye steak). Just wanted to make sure it was able to slice. Comes with original sheath, sharpening stone, and lock-pin. Neither knife comes with a box or papers.
