Extrema Ratio KS Knife
Unleash the legendary power of the Gurkha kukri, reimagined for modern adventurers and tactical operators. The Extrema Ratio KS Knife fuses centuries-old Nepali heritage with cutting-edge Italian craftsmanship, delivering a tool that’s as at home splitting firewood in the wilderness as it is serving in high-intensity operations. Its distinctive forward-weighted blade shape provides axe-like chopping force and machete-style versatility, giving you supreme control whether you’re hacking through dense underbrush or delivering precise slicing cuts.
Crafted with a razor-sharp hollow grind near the handle and a robust flat grind at the tip, the KS strikes the perfect balance between finesse and bone-crushing durability. Feel the immediate feedback as the edge glides through branches, then powers through tougher materials without a second thought. Every chop, slice, and stab is executed with confidence thanks to the blade’s impeccable geometry and unwavering strength.
At the heart of the KS lies BÖHLER N690 stainless steel, hardened to 58 HRC for an incredibly resilient edge that resists chipping and corrosion. Unlike softer alloys, this premium steel delivers the elasticity you need for demanding fieldwork while holding its sharpened profile longer. A MIL-C-13924 burnished finish adds an extra layer of toughness and minimizes glare, keeping you stealthy and protected in any environment.
Comfort meets functionality in the ergonomic FORPRENE® handle, engineered for a secure, fatigue-free grip even when wet. The full-tang construction anchors the knife’s balance, ensuring every swing feels natural and controlled. A discreet lanyard hole offers added retention options, making the KS your reliable sidekick on every expedition.
Whether you’re carving shelter, preparing camp meals, or embarking on a survival mission, the Extrema Ratio KS Knife stands ready. Embrace the perfect marriage of tradition and innovation—your ultimate blade for exploration, defense, and everything in between.
