Extrema Ratio Resolza 10 Black Folding Knife

Description

Resolza is an ancient name, reminiscent of the Italian word for razor. The centuries old Sardinian “resolza” one of the best-known traditional knives in Italy – to this day it’s been the constant companion to island farmers and shepherds in their everyday work. It followed them even when they were called to war: chronicles of the Sassari Brigade during World War I mention the knife as part of the troops’ equipment.

Extrema Ratio’s attempt to revisit this traditional design according to their own high standards is meant as a tribute, not to disregard Sardinian craftsmen still practicing the old ways of knife-making and keeping ancestral traditions alive. The Extrema Ratio Resolza 10 Black retains original measurements and proportions, with a 9.8cm blade, but is produced with the usual Extrema Ratio high-end materials and technologies. The handle was redesigned, while the blade more faithfully approaches a traditional shape. As an improvement on tradition, a blade-locking mechanism has been added.
