Extrema Ratio Versa Expedition, Dark Stone N690 (04.1000.0214/EXP)

Versa Expedition, Dark Stone is an exquisitely designed neck knife manufactured by the renowned company Extrema Ratio, known for producing knives of the highest quality. A lightweight and extremely durable compact knife with a fixed blade, it features excellent ergonomics and precision craftsmanship. Monolithic construction and the use of Böhler N690 stainless steel, rich in cobalt and molybdenum, provide tremendous strength and corrosion resistance. Sheath made of kydex, is adapted for hanging on the neck, tactical vest, other holster or optionally on the belt, making it an extremely versatile tool. In addition, a flint has been added to the kit, superbly facilitating fire starting in the field. The designers' goal was to create a handy but reliable knife with low weight for a wide range of outdoor applications, from survival and bushcraft to everyday use (EDC). The Versa, Satin is an ideal choice for demanding users who value reliability, functionality and aesthetic performance.

The Expedition series is a new range of tools designed for exploration professionals. The knives in this series offer the same performance, reliability and high quality as all the tactical tools that Extrema Ratio supplies to special forces and law enforcement agencies.

N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural uniformity. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Achieves a hardness of 58 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - with Tanto profile, extremely sharp and solid with a thickness of 6.3 mm. The blade was chemically polished with a non-reflective MIL-C-13924 BURNISHING coating and stone washed surface treatment - Dark Stone finish. The Plain blade was derived with a Flat Grind, which maintains the sharpness of the cutting edge and penetration ability regardless of the intensity of wear. On the back, a long false blade, improving the piercing properties of the blade's reinforced tip. To facilitate control of the blade, a section of the back of the wedge is covered with upper jimping, notched thumb rest.

Handle - a monolithic extension of the Blade. The profiled shape of the handle prevents accidental injury during use. Deep finger undercut (fore finger groove) improves grip security. The hole in the rear part relieves the pressure on the knife and at the same time can be used to make a paracord braid on the handle. Enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling a lanyard or cord.

Sheath - made of Kydex plastic, allows you to quickly retrieve the knife in any situation. Included paracord cord for hanging the knife case around the neck. The holster can also be attached under the straps of the M.O.L.L.E. system: to a tactical vest or any Extrema Ratio nylon holster. In addition, in combination with optional accessories, it can be attached to a belt. Additional kydex for a flint (included) attached with screws to the main sheath.

Optional accessories - a high quality flint for easy lighting of fires in the field.
