ABOUT THE SHRAPNEL OG: The Extrema Ratio SHRAPNEL OG is one of the series of fixed blades that are compact and suitable for EDC. Extrema Ratio classifies this knife as a back-up knife. Excellent Italian styling together with quality craftsmanship makes the Shrapnel OG an exceptional EDC. Good addition to your backpack or bug-out bag. BLADE: It has an eye catching leaf shaped blade designed to make a robust blade. The SHRAPNEL OG performs as well as many bigger knives. It is a “no nonsense” knife with a clean, well-designed blade without serrations. It has the Extrema Ratio Testudo (black) finish that is very protective against corrosion, oxidation and is non-reflective. HANDLE: The SHRAPNEL OG has a shortened handle so if you have very large hands you might not find it a comfortable fit. It is on par with the other Extrema Ratio back-up knives as far as length and weight. The tang extends beyond the handle end to provide you with a window breaker and a lanyard hole There is a single lower guard with a lanyard hole in it. The top of the handle near the blade has been indented 1.34 inches (mm 34.04) and the blade spine exposed and ridged.
