I have never used this, I saw it on a You Tube video one-night years ago when I was surfing the web and thought, “Well, Heck, I guess I need one of those”. I did not. It will be delivered in ‘new’ condition. It has never been put to use to cut, stab, chop or hit a guy over the head with. This is a big heavy knife with a very intimidating blade. There are tons of You Tube reviews on it if you want to gain a little more familiarity. I will cover shipping and insurance in CONUS. $325 Shipped/Insured

RAO BLACK
In June 2006, the “185° Rgt. Ricognizione e Acquisizione Obiettivi” (Target Acquisition Regiment) airborne “FOLGORE” (185° RAO) entrusted to Extrema Ratio the development of a unique knife fitting the unit’s specific operational duties.
This resulted in the RAO: not an oversized folder as much as a compact survival & field knife, with a heavy and dependable blade. Its very reliable locking system, assisted by an extra safety device, effectively turns this folder into a fixed blade knife.
The opening and closing is to be performed with both hands in order to minimize the risk of self-inflicted injuries, as the blade, because of its weight, is a veritable guillotine. The extra safe device is a steel pin to be hand-screwed through two holes by the guard section of the massive Anticorodal aluminum handle – its presence between blade and hand also acting as a great psychological boon.
The sheath is an essential part of this weapon system: it holds a diamond-plate sharpener and enables user to carry the knife either in open position, held in place by a cord and two clips, or closed, inside the front pocket. The sheath can be attached to tactical vests or common belts, being MOLLE system-compliant.
