Extrema Ratio T4000C Just what do I think now?

Extrema Ratio T4000C Just what do I think now?


Splitting wood

Slicing meat

Corrosion resistance working near the sea/coast


Ok I've been using the Extrema Ration T4000C for several years now, so what do I think about this knife?

Comfortable for a small knife. Design cuts very well and pierces very well. No mistaking which way you are holding it (eg if you are groping around for it  in the pitch darkness). Easy to keep sharp due to a hand ground edge. Hot or cold weather gloves not necessary due to FORPRENE handle/grip. Small coin or keys can be used to readily remove handle to clean in the field, no fancy tools required. (of course you still can use an Allen wrench if you happen to have one.
The Extrema Ratio T4000C is a perfect day hike/overnighter camp knife capable of a whole lot more. 
Military apps, it's obvious: Japanese style Tanto blade perfect for penetration and slicing. Back end like all Extrema Ratio Fixed blades; can be used as a "control"/self defence device.
Built from a 6mm thick sheet of N690 Alloy stainless, synonymous with Austrian quality (Raw materials) and Italian excellence in design. The sheath is fully Molle compatible but nothing stops you securing it to regular day pack or waist belt. You could also carry a small Molle style pouch on this scabbard too. Being a small compact knife it is unobtrusive in public view. and doesn't say: "Look out! he's got a knife!"*

Drain hole, hard plastic inserts, quality stitching throughout

Push cuts are a breeze as the tip is not chisel thickness.

Get the Extrema Ratio Fulcrum series if you want this feature in the tip.
