Extrema Ratio TASK J

Extrema Ratio TASK J

Jagdkommando Designed

Commando Knife.

Extrema Ratio Task J one of my favorite field knives

Many ask me about this particular knife, the TASK J from Extrema Ratio in Italy. The TASK J is a design from the Austrian military (Jagdkommando) and implemented by Extrema Ratio.When you have this knife in your hands, there is no mistaking the heftiness and robustness of this field knife. There is nothing woosy about the design and functionality. The regular funky fuller of the general ER designs is gone with one solid chunk of steel for the blade. But don't worry about the penetrating power of this knife. The TASK J can easily take on the moniker of "Survival knife" (if you have to give it this title).  Of course the funny looking handle is probably one of the most comfortable grips out there. The reason is obvious when one delves into the history of how this shape came about. Solid R & D at the university research level into biomechanics of the human hand. 

There is nothing superfluous or wanting in this design. I'm not saying it's perfect, as there is no such thing as a perfect tool however, this particular knife has had a lot of thought put into it's design and it doesn't end with the knife. The scabbard is of excellent quality and safety. As a sort of a bonus, included is a giant fire steel! Considering in over 30 years of outdoor adventures, I've never even used up totally my dad's Swedish fire steel, then I reckon this steel, I'll be passing on to grand children!
