It is an extremely robust, durable, and reliable folder in addition to being a compact size. The ANT RESCUE RED has been selected as standard equipment by the ‘Alpine Troop School of the Italian Army.’ The ANT RESCUE RED is easy to carry in a pocket, on a key chain, or in a handbag. Easy to conceal. In certain areas, a small folding knife is more likely to comply with legal restrictions on the blade length that can be carried. Despite its size, the ANT RESCUE RED can handle many everyday tasks effectively, making it a versatile and practical tool for daily use. BLADE: The ANT RESCUE RED blade is stone washed and is constructed from Böhler M390 steel heat treated to 61 HRC - a steel that achieves the optimal balance between edge retention and strength. The tang includes a slot for attaching a lanyard or key chain. The blade features a sheepsfoot shape with a small slot at the top, designed to aid in easy opening. HANDLE: The handle consists of two main components: a red anodized anticorodal aluminum grip and a tempered steel frame that also functions as the blade's locking mechanism. In this system, part of the frame folds inward to securely lock the blade in the open position, enhancing user safety during operation. Has a tip-up carry clip. This red handle makes it easier to see if dropped, or in a tool box, etc. This version is designed with a specialized serrations section, ideal for cutting through ropes and even tough fibers. Additionally, it includes a tapered shank, which doubles as an emergency screwdriver for added versatility. LOCK: The ANT RESCUE RED has a locking system that allows you to open and close it with one hand. The frame lock system* is part of the handle itself. Weight: g 42 (1.48 ounces) Blade Length: mm 50 (1.97 inches) Total Length Open: mm 127 (5 inches) Total Length Closed: mm 76.2 (3 inches) Blade Thickness: mm 2.2 (0.087 inches) Blade Finish: Stone Washed Knife Clip: Yes Blade Grinding: Flat Edge Lock: Frame lock ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: * Extrema Ratio's explanation for its frame lock. “The handle is made up of two different elements: the grip made of anodized anticorodal aluminum and the tempered steel frame which also performs the function of locking the blade (Frame Lock System). This mechanism requires that part of the frame is folded inwards, firmly fixing the blade in the open position, increasing the operator safety when using the knife.” NOTE: Most Extrema Ratio knives are designed for many purposes except food preparation. While they are known for their versatility, durability and strength, they are not ideal for preparing food. For food preparation purposes, it's recommended to use knives specially designed for the task.
