Extrema Ratio has developed the first born of a new line. CONTACT.
It has a spear point profile blade, flat edge grinding and lozenge geometry. It has a lower guard branch to protect the hand from accidental cuts, upper jumping to improve grip, "fuller" lightening of a concave shape along the entire length of the blade and a generous thickness of the same (in the classic 6.30 mm).

All these features give the Contact model the title of elder brother of the now famous Requiem, revisited in the proportions and in some technical features. The first of a new line of multirole knives. The blade is made of Böhler N690 steel with a hardness of 58 HRC and a chemical bluing coating for the Black version. All the other colors in the line have a Stone Washed finish blade. The handle is always in forprene but the assembly no longer takes place by means of the side screws but through the truncated cone-shaped stainless steel tang that screws on the bottom and fits inside a special seat, which makes it solid and well balanced knife.

The sheath is minimalist, it strips off most of the fabric by adopting a 2nd level retention system, recalling the style of the model to which it is inspired. The main shell is made of shockproof nylon injection. The secondary retention system is reversible for ambidextrous knife portability.

The blade is guided in the insertion of the sheath thanks to a cone shape that lends itself well to the rapid insertion and extraction of the knife. To extract the blade, a pressure on the trigger will be sufficient, thus disengaging the safety that holds it safely in the sheath. In the horizontal slots of the hard shell there is a system that dampens the blade to avoid shaking noises when it is stored inside it. The rear part of the nylon sheath has been designed to interface with the MOLLE system The textile part is reduced to a minimum and has the classic two-button safety lace with a belt loop and a thigh band with rubber reinforcement for the anti rotation. Extrema Ratio aims at this new line by minimizing the thickness and dimensions of the knife to the maximum, but not going to save on structural strength and safety accessories.
