EXTREMA RATIO ANT KNIVES
The folding knife universe is enriched with the first novelty from Extrema Ratio of 2024 in the Ant model. This small, compact, and lightweight knife fully embodies the Extrema Ratio style and is the result of meticulous research and design. It proves to be a perfect EDC (Every Day Carry), essential for meeting multiple daily needs that require a small but extremely robust blade.
Innovation and Solidity in Your Pocket: Extrema Ratio Ant Innovative Design and Elite Materials
Despite its compact size, the Ant expresses high robustness and reliability. The handle, the heart of the knife, is a combination of innovative materials and design. On one hand, the anodized anti-corodal aluminum cheek, which guarantees lightness and resistance; on the other, the hardened steel frame, which not only provides a solid structure but also integrates the Frame Lock System as a blade locking mechanism.
Portability and Practicality
The Ant shows that size does not limit functionality. Every detail is studied to offer maximum practicality: from the hole on the tang for inserting a lanyard, to the strategically placed steel clip for discreet pocket carry. Extrema Ratio has thought of everything, making the Ant the folding knife par excellence for those seeking uncompromising performance.
Four Versions, One Quality Guarantee
A Steel for Every Need
The Ant comes in four distinctive versions, each designed to meet specific needs. Extrema Ratio's twenty-year collaboration with the renowned Böhler, an Austrian leader in the production of high-quality steels, materializes in the use of exceptional materials for the Ant's blades.
-
Ant Black & Ant Black Stone Washed: These versions use Böhler N690 steel, known for its excellent balance between edge retention and robustness, Extrema Ratio's preferred choice for most of its knives.
- Rescue Red Stone Washed & Black Stone Washed M390: For those seeking top performance, Extrema Ratio offers Böhler M390 steel. Hardened to 61 HRC and produced through a sophisticated powder metallurgical process, this steel guarantees clean cuts, outstanding durability, and optimal resistance to wear and oxidation.
Unique Features for Unparalleled Performance
The Ant is not just a knife, but a symbol of innovation and precision. The blade, with its sheep foot shape, offers a straight edge that facilitates use and allows for precise force application. The small hole on the top of the blade is designed for quick and smooth opening, confirming Extrema Ratio's attention to every little detail.
Ant Rescue: The Essential Companion for Emergencies
Among the versions of the Ant, the Ant Rescue stands out, designed for those who operate in emergency contexts or for those who want a reliable tool in any situation. The red-colored cheek not only gives a distinctive appearance but ensures immediate visibility in case of a fall. The specific serration of the blade allows for easy cutting of ropes and high-strength aramid materials, while the tapered tang serves as an emergency screwdriver. Developed in collaboration with the Italian Army's Alpine Troops School, the Ant Rescue is a symbol of Extrema Ratio's commitment to providing concrete solutions for the most extreme needs.
Whether for everyday use or emergency situations, the Ant is confirmed as a valid choice for those who are not satisfied with the basics and always seek the best.
