Extrema Ratio RAO II Reviews continued

A complete System for this big Folder.


One thing I wanted to say about the RAOII is that it is sold as a complete system. That is it comes with a fully Molle compatible multipurpose scabbard. 

Reverse side of the RAOII scabbard 

The scabbard includes Extrema Ratio's diamond plate sharpener, which is essentially some diamond material on a waterproof self adhesive strip stuck to a black anodized aluminum plate.

For people that know nothing about sharpening knives, there is even a basic sharpening guide on the back of this plate.

As you have already seen the RAOII can be carried as a "fixed blade" with the safety pin fully screwed in. In this way the knife can be removed fast if necessary. 
Otherwise the RAOII as a folder if kept in the supplied pouch, which by the way did I say is very well made (quality materials, stitching evenness, thread thickness and overall sturdiness).

Note in the above image where my fingers are, this is material (the black material stitched between the front and back of the fixed carry position) whilst fairly rigid is non damaging to the blade edge. The construction here is similar to that of the ONTOS and Dobermann IV scabbards.
