Extrema Ratio Nimbus Operativo Black Forprene, Black N690 (04.1000.0240/BLK-OP)

Nimbus Operativo Black Forprene, Black, developed and selected by the 183rd Parachute Regiment "Nembo". A versatile knife that is excellent for hunting, outdoor activities and defense. A perfectly thought-out tool!

N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with the addition of molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural uniformity. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Achieves a hardness of 58 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - massive with modern Spearhead (spearhead) profile with diamond-shaped geometry. The blade is coated with black BURNISHING MIL-C-13924. Plain blade is brought out with a high flat grind (Flat grind) with a wide bead reinforcing the profile of the head. The high grind provides excellent cutting edge geometry, and the false blade facilitates penetration. Double guard, double-sided steel hilt/guard to protect the hand from slipping on the blade.

Handle - lining with rubber-like properties, made of non-slip thermoplastic elastomer Forprene (flexible return, softness, chemical resistance), provides a secure grip even with wet hands. Bolted directly to the tango with screws that can be unscrewed in the field even with a coin. Such a solution makes the construction solid, and the knife is better balanced.

Sheath - a lightweight, injection-molded shell made of impact-resistant reinforced Nylon. The minimalist holster protects the knife from falling out and the symmetrical design allows you to adjust the way the holster is carried for both right- and left-handed users. The universal shell design with a drainage hole at the bottom prevents water from collecting inside. Reduced to a minimum nylon webbing allows the sheath to be quickly attached to the belt or under the webbing of the M.O.L.L.E. (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) system.
