EXTREMA RATIO 39-09 Operativo ΜΑΧΑΙΡΙ

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
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 version 39-09 OPERATIVO is black oxide-coated, no logo,
with calf sheath.
