Extrema Ratio Ant Framelock Folding Knife, M390 SW, Aluminum Black

Ant is the most compact of the Extrema Ratio folding knives. Despite its small size, this model has an extremely robust, resistant and reliable structure. The handle consists of two different elements, the grip made of anodized anticorodal aluminum and the tempered steel frame that functions as a locking mechanism for the blade (Frame Lock System). Part of the frame is bent inwards to firmly fix the blade when opened, thus increasing the operator’s safety during use.

On the shank there is a slot for inserting a lanyard; on the right side of the handle there is a steel clip that allows to conceal the knife inside the pocket. Ant is available in 4 versions with two different types of steel both supplied by Böhler, an Austrian company which Extrema Ratio has been collaborating with for more than 20 years, using their time-tested materials to produce its blades.

Ant Rescue, unlike the other 3 versions, has a red grip that allows the operator to find the knife more easily in the event of a fall. This version is equipped with a specific serration that allows it to cut ropes and even extremely strong aramid materials. This model also features a tapered shank that acts as an emergency screwdriver. Thanks to these peculiarities, Ant Rescue has been selected by the ‘Alpine Troop School of the Italian Army’ to be part of its equipment.
