EXTREMA RATIO MK 2 KNIFE. 1 BLACK

EXTREMA RATIO MK 2 KNIFE. 1 BLACK

A tribute to a war veteran, the MK2.1 is the restyling of the MARK 2 combat dagger, one of the most widespread knives in World War II. Our goal with such an ambitious design project was to preserve the characteristic qualities of the original, while only introducing those changes that we considered strictly functional to improve its effectiveness.

The blade is cobalt steel, with AISI 303 and AISI 304 used for other parts, and fiberglass reinforced nylon leather replaced in the handle. It retains the ergonomics of the original Mark 2, while all structural parts have been oversized for a durable, high-performance multipurpose knife.

The most significant changes aim to fix known "weak spots" of the main blade: these include tool-less field disassembly capability, a straightened modified Bowie profile that makes edge maintenance easier , and barrel-shaped grooves on the handle that help the user correctly orient the blade in the dark and improve the user's grip in twisting movements ("screwdriver" effect).

Minor additions include safety cable holes in the tang and post mounting holes in the front guard. Our usual Extrema Ratio "side groove" replaced the fuller traditional blood groove to improve appearance and reduce weight. Includes a standard thigh holster with automatic retention mechanism and protective flap.
