Extrema Ratio Herring Brass, Black N690 (04.1000.0319/BL-OR-A)

Herring Brass, Black from Extrema Ratio is a symbol of history and heroism. Its original name is Fairbairn-Sykes or Commando Dagger, and its history is closely associated with British commandos during World War II. This dagger became famous thanks to the young soldiers of the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron "Folgore", who were equipped with this weapon during Operation Herring. Their courage and sacrifice wrote an important page in Italian history. Extrema Ratio has paid tribute to this dagger by preserving the original design, but using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The unique handcrafted finish of the Handle mimics the aging of the brass, giving the dagger a look reminiscent of the original. The dagger was developed in cooperation with the 185th RRAO and adopted as a ceremonial commemorative dagger to mark the 20th anniversary of the regiment's founding and the 75th anniversary of the Herring mission. Both versions (Herring and Herring NE) come with a polymer case with historic Squadrone F frieze, a leather / kydex sheath with brass tip and two commemorative scrolls. Herring Brass, Black is not just a knife, it's a part of history that lives on in every piece. Join the ranks of those who appreciate history, quality and style. Choose Herring Brass, Black.
