Selvans Expeditions, as well as the Selvans model from which it derives, was born from the collaboration between Extrema Ratio and the Master instructor F.I.S.S. (Federazione Italiana Survival Sportivo e Sperimentale) Daniele Dal Canto. This tool is the result of the modification of the ONTOS, military survival knife, realized in order to accentuate and maximize the performance of the knife.

Selvans Expeditions uses Böhler N690 steel heat treated to 58 HRC with MIL-C-13924 burnishing and stone washed surface treatment (Dark Stone finish). The handle has been lengthened and the blade weighted to promote effective cutting strokes. It comes with a desert Cordura sheath with MOLLE system, equipped with a mini pouch containing paracord with flammable filament that can be used in case of emergency and/or critical weather conditions and a Firesteel for lighting fires.

The survival kit (not included and purchasable separately) has been optimized and includes whistle, chainsaw, drinking pads, compass, brass wire, flintlock, flashlight, paracord 2,5 mt. and sharpener.

After insistent requests from professional customers, Extrema Ratio decided to create a survival tool suitable for every situation.

Hence the Ontos, (from the Greek "la cosa") a pure, robust, heavy but compact field knife. A portion of the blade is serrated to have a part of the knife always sharpened and ready for use.

The nylon thigh sheath with M.O.L.L.E. he remains on the soldier even when in case of withdrawal he is forced to abandon the primary, heavy and tactical equipment. A pocket is fixed to the scabbard, also with the M.O.L.L.E. system, containing a survival kit that makes the Ontos a real survival knife; in addition a fluorescent stick (duration 12 hours) and a diamond sharpener.

The survival kit contains:
* container for water

* Flint
* wire saw
