EXTREMA RATIO FULCRUM BAYONET BLACK
EXTREMA RATIO FULCRUM BAYONET BLACK
Probably a milestone in the multi-knives. Widely used in Afghanistan as standard equipment by members of the Italian mission "NIBBIO", this knife is part of an experimental project of Alpine Troops Command equipment renewal. During the preparation of this important mission, the Alpine Troops Command worked with a team of companies to produce a complete and renewed individual experimental equipment.
Extrema Ratio was selected and contacted for the development of a multi-tool for infantry; a knife that could be used at all latitudes and in any kind of problem which could not be solved by the specialized equipment. The success was such that this multi-tool brought to the development of the Fulcrum Bayonet, which had the same characteristics but it could be mounted on ordinance rifles.The Fulcrum is an extremely heavy and versatile knife. The blade can hold up to 150 kg at maximum load. The tip is robust and the TANTO shape allows to work long with it without damaging the sharpening of the last section. This guarantees together with the sharpening of the dorsal side (the civilian version is not sharpened on the back) to keep the necessary penetration for combat against targets protected by heavy clothing and soft ballistic protections.
The advanced baricenter and the weight of the blade make it suitable for heavy field work. The new automatic hard sheath allows safe and comfortable transportation and the loop surrounding the top of the handle avoid to get entangled, even in case of parachute launching. Thanks also to the speed and ease of routine maintenance, Fulcrum is the perfect choice for use on a large scale also in economical / administrative terms.
