ABOUT The Extrema Ratio RAO is a hybrid knife that combines the strength of a fixed blade with the convenience of a folder—without compromising on performance. Built like a tank and often referred to as a “compact survival knife,” the RAO is designed to handle serious tasks whether you're off the grid or on city streets. A great EDC. Its heavy-duty blade folds into a robust handle, and once deployed and secured with the manual safety pin, it locks up with the strength and confidence of a true fixed blade. It’s an unconventional design, but one that delivers exceptional reliability. Substantial. Functional. Do you prefer to carry a folder but need a fixed blade? The RAO is your optimum solution.  BLADE Tanto point blade built from high-performance steel for tough tasks Folds down to a compact profile—ideal for everyday carry Designed for control, durability, and cutting through heavy materials Can be carried in either open or closed position HANDLE Large, ergonomic handle provides excellent grip and control Built for comfort and stability during extended or high-force use Includes elastic lanyard to secure the manual lock pin when not engaged Built for control, even with wet hands or while wearing gloves LOCK Dual locking system - a very reliable locking system that turns the RAO into a solid, fixed blade knife When pinned, the knife performs like a true fixed blade, giving you total confidence during heavy tasks Eliminates concerns about accidental closure—perfect for everyday hard use SHEATH Unique and specially designed heavy-duty combo nylon sheath that allows the knife to be carried either as a fixed blade or as a folder Front section secures the knife in closed position with a protective flap Rear section allows you to carry the knife when it is opened Extrema Ratio diamond sharpener in front pocket Designed for secure carry, easy access, and long-term durability Secure retention ensures the knife won’t dislodge accidentally during movement MOLLE-compatible for flexible attachment to belts, vests, or packs Total Length of Knife: mm 261 (10.28 inches) Length of Closed Knife: mm 148.08 (5.83 inches) Blade Length: mm 118.11 (4.65 inches) Total Length of Closed Knife and Sheath: mm 171.45 (6.75 inches) Weight of Knife: g 326.02 (11.50 ounces) Weight of Knife and Sheath: g 456.43 (16.10 ounces) Blade Thickness (Widest Part): mm 6.00 (0.24 inches) Blade Width (Widest Section): mm 44.14 (1.74 inches) Closed Knife Thickness: mm 17.63 (.69 inches) Blade Steel: Bohler N690 cobalt stainless steel* Blade Hardness: Rockwell 58 HRC Grinding: Flat grind Serrations on Blade: No Handle: Anticorodal aluminum** Handle Length: mm 142.98 (5.63 inches) Sheath Material: Cordura Belt Clip on Knife: No MOLLE Compatible Sheath: Yes Diamond Sharpener: Yes ADDITIONAL INFORMATION * The blade is made with N690 cobalt stainless steel; a high performance steel with excellent cutting and sharpening characteristics.
