Extrema Ratio Misericordia - Desert

Extrema Ratio Misericordia Desert, which preserves intact all the characteristics of the famous Misericordia model adopted by the 4th Alpine Parachute Regiment, derives from the commemorative dagger created on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the 4th Alpine Regiment and the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the Alpine Parachutists.

It is a tactical fixed blade knife designed for those cases where the knife must be extremely light and compact. The new desert color also makes this model available in a shade in line with the most common needs of modern operational departments.

The blade is milled from Böhler N690 steel, hardened to 58 HRC for the best balance between edge retention and strength, it is 118mm long, 4mm thick and has a flat edge. The weight of the knife is just 87g. The profile is spear point type, with a full length fuller which makes it even lighter and with a ¾ length false false profile. The finish is stone washed.

The polymer handle of the knife features the classic Extrema Ratio shells which make the grip safer and is fixed to the tang via a through screw. At the rear end the handle flows, connecting with a large ring equipped with a “skull crusher” appendix: a ring that allows the use of martial arts techniques and ensures a very solid grip on the hand. In this version the handle is in Desert color.

Since this is a knife designed for professional use, much attention has been paid to ease of carrying, accessibility and extraction in case of need. The knife is secured to the sheath by a quick-release safety that can be easily reversed for left-handed use. The sheath is also in the Desert colour, made of high-strength Nylon, very versatile and equipped with 2 adjustable loops that allow it to be attached to MOLLE systems, facilitating rapid extraction in different tactical scenarios.

An optional Kydex sheath is also available, which can be purchased separately complete with two Velcro strips, to allow concealed carrying between the bulletproof vest and magazine pouch. This sheath also offers the possibility of attaching it to a belt using a Belt Clip (sold separately).
