Sethlans Expeditions, as well as the Sethlans model from which it derives, is a fixed blade work knife designed to deal with a wide range of situations, but also as a backup blade. The Sethlans Expeditions has been designed in collaboration with Daniele Dal Canto, Master Advanced F.I.S.S. (Federazione italiana survival sportivo e sperimentale) instructor.

Sethlans Expeditions has a Böhler N690 steel blade heat treated to 58 HRC with MIL-C-13924 burnishing and stone washed surface treatment (Dark Stone finish). The knife comes with desert colored G10 grips that feature the ergonomic design characteristic of Extrema Ratio handles. They can be removed to free the skeleton structure of the knife, allowing maximum lightness with minimum thickness.

For lovers of extreme customization, the full-tang structure allows the handle to be covered with paracord. The sheath is composed of a very light and minimalist Kydex part. It can be disassembled and can be adapted to both left- and right-handed people. The addition of an optional belt clip allows both vertical and horizontal positioning of the knife and makes the sheath much more versatile than the textile version. It is equipped with a mini pouch with M.O.L.L.E. system containing paracord with flammable filament to be used in case of emergency and/or critical weather conditions and a Firesteel for lighting fires.

The "Extrema Ratio Sethlans" is a fixed blade work knife created to face a wide range of situations, suitable for survival, bushcraft, prepping, but also as a backup blade. The Sethlans is available in two versions with two different types of steel.

Black version that uses D2 steel, heat treated and cryogenically treated at 60 HRC, which has a high resharpening capacity even with makeshift tools. To give greater qualities of hardness and resistance, the blade is coated with the new Teflon-based product "EXP DARK", proposed by Extrema Ratio.

The knife comes with G10 grips that feature the ergonomic design characteristic of Extrema Ratio handles. They can be removed by releasing the skeletonized structure of the knife, which allows maximum lightness with minimum thickness. For lovers of extreme customization, the full-tang structure allows the handle to be covered with a paracord cord.

The sheath is composed of a part in very light and minimalist Kydex. It can be disassembled and can be adapted for both left and right handed users. The addition of an optional belt clip allows the knife to be positioned both vertically and horizontally and makes the sheath much more versatile than the textile version. It is also equipped with a mini pouch with M.O.L.L.E. system. containing a double-sided stone for sharpening and a firesteel for lighting fires.
