ABOUT

The Extrema Ratio RAO II is a hybrid knife that combines the strength of a fixed blade with the convenience of a folder—without compromising on performance. Built like a tank and often referred to as a “compact survival knife,” the RAO II is designed to handle serious tasks whether you're off the grid or on city streets. A great EDC. Its heavy-duty blade folds into a robust handle, and once deployed and secured with the manual safety pin, it locks up with the strength and confidence of a true fixed blade. It’s an unconventional design, but one that delivers exceptional reliability. Substantial. Functional. Do you prefer to carry a folder but need a fixed blade? The RAO II is your optimum solution.
