The company was founded in Prato, Italy, and became particularly associated with military, tactical and outdoor fixed-blade designs. The Requiem takes that philosophy in a different direction. Instead of simply making a larger or heavier knife, Extrema Ratio produced something thin, light and unmistakably purposeful.And this particular example doesn’t require guesswork concerning its origin.The blade says it plainly:EXTREMA RATIO
