The **Extrema Ratio RAO C, Tactical Grey 04.1000.0176/BLK/GRY** is a compact pocket knife inspired by the iconic RAO II. Despite its small size, the RAO C offers the same robustness and reliability as its bigger brother, while being more portable and manageable. The locking mechanism is particularly strong, partly because it is supported by an additional sliding safety pin, which effectively turns the blade into a fixed blade.




## Blade made of Böhler N690 steel
The blade of the Extrema Ratio RAO C, Tactical Grey 04.1000.0176/BLK/GRY pocket knife is made of Böhler N690, a very corrosion-resistant steel from Austria. It is tough and easy to sharpen, even with relatively limited resources. Needless to say, it retains its sharp edge very well.



## Aluminium handle
The handle of the Extrema Ratio RAO is made from aluminium. The handle measures 12.9 cm in length. Aluminium is pleasantly lightweight and easy for the manufacturer to work with. As a result, it is a very popular choice for handles. Aluminium comes in many different grades or alloys. Most manufacturers opt for one of the more durable types of aluminium for knife handles, often using the same quality as the type used for aircraft construction.



## History of Extrema Ratio
Extrema Ratio was founded in 1997 in Italy. The brand has become famous in the knife world with their tactical knives for the military, police officers and firefighters. The knives, often produced in collaboration with the Italian army, meet the highest military standards. They use materials such as Böhler N690 stainless steel and Forprene handles for comfort and safety, even in extreme conditions.

The range varies from fixed knives like the Requiem to rugged pocket knives like the BF2. Extrema Ratio is ISO 9001 certified and also supplies international military units. Their products are popular among adventurers and professionals worldwide for their reliability and durability. Many of the Extrema Ratio products originate from demand from a government department. In collaboration with that department, they develop a practical knife, a real tool. After this, it is available to everyone, for example here at Knivesandtools.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).
