Knife - Essential Tool for Camping, Outdoor Adventure and collection

On December 19, 1941, in Eluet El Asel, about 400 men from the 1st Royal Carabinieri Battalion Paratrooper faced the assault of 4 battalions of Indian troops of the British Army. Jumping from their trenches by launching improvised devices, the "Desert Lions", as Radio London called them, made the defensive line impenetrable by allowing thousands of Italian-German troops to withdraw safely. This was the first page in the long history of Italian paratroopers.

The Tuscania Paratrooper Regiment asked that the Extra Ratio T911 be specifically made as a commemorative knife for its 80th anniversary.

The T911 is a medium-sized folding light and designed for professional use by military operators. It is equipped with a modified spear point blade, flat edge, in Bohler N690 cobalt steel heat-treated to a hardness of 58 HRC, for the best compromise between strength, ease of regrinding and thread hold. The blade is 76 mm long, 4 mm thick, has a stone washed finish and rotates around an adjustable pin which allows to obtain the best fluidity in opening. A brace allows you to lock the pin in the best position.

The handle is in Anticorodal aluminum alloy with high strength black anodized finish and is milled to facilitate the transition from "reverse grip" handle to saber handle.

The blade is opened by means of a pin operated with the thumb. The knife uses a liner lock type blade lock and a safe ensures maximum hold even during heavy use. The safety lever is colored red for better visibility and engages in an advanced position for more instinctive use.

In the handle are integrated a seat belt cutter with easily available and replaceable cutter-type blade, a tungsten glass breaker, a stainless steel knot loosener and a screwdriver for adjusting the pointing optics, in AISI 420 steel. The clip , reversible and fixed at the end of the handle, allows a very deep port in the pocket, for less visibility.

The knife can be dismantled for cleaning and maintenance. With a total length of 194 mm and a weight of 145g, the T911 is easy to wear both in uniform and in civilian clothes.

Questo progetto, patrocinato dal COFS (Comando Operativo Forze Speciali) nella persona del Gen.Bertolini, era gia stato suggerito da alcuni collezionisti di armi bianche d'epoca.

Il restyling del famoso "Pugnale da paracadutista assaltatore mod.1939", un importante pezzo di storia militare italiana.

Il coltello, pur mutuando la linea, la struttura e le proporzioni dell'originale, è stato irrobustito, arricchito di modifiche funzionali e realizzato con materiali a specifiche militari moderne.

Inaspettatamente, il risultato di queste poche modifiche è un pugnale estremamente funzionale ed efficace, assolutamente competitivo con i migliori coltelli militari contemporanei.

Il fodero è rigido da caviglia, alla maniera tipica in cui viene portata la baionetta dai paracadutisti italiani.

E' incluso il fodero da cerimonia per cintura, inclinato a 45° come l'originale.

The design of this military knife, sponsored by COFS (Special Forces Operative Command) in the person of General Bertolini, had already been suggested by some collectors of white weapons of the time. The restyling of the famous "paratrooper assault dagger mod. 1939 ", constitutes an important piece of Italian military history.

The knife, while borrowing the line, the structure and the proportions from the original, has been strengthened, enriched with functional modifications and made with materials with modern military specifications. The result of these few modifications is an extremely functional and effective dagger. The sheath is ankle-shaped to be worn as Italian paratroopers usually wear a bayonet.

The 39-09 COMBAT version is the compact version with 160mm blade and side sheath.
