The VENOM is a cutting-edge combat and defense knife currently employed by Italy's elite special forces, C.O.F.S. (Special Operations Forces), drawing inspiration from the British SAS. Under the guidance of Gen. Bertolini and refined with insights from esteemed knife collectors, this knife marks a pivotal achievement in Italian military craftsmanship.
Initially bestowed upon special forces personnel for outstanding service, the VENOM has evolved from the 1939 Italian paratrooper model. Extrema Ratio has updated the design, maintaining its classic shape and size while meeting modern military standards.
The blade boasts a versatile design with a razor-sharp flat grind. Its handle, crafted from Forprene resin, is slip-resistant and easy to clean, surpassing the performance of the 1939 version. Each blade is adorned with unique unit insignias and the motto "ETIAM SI OMNES, EGO NON," translating to "Even if everyone else retreats... I will not!"
