R.A.O.
June 2006, the “185° Rgt. Ricognizione ed Acquisizione
Obiettivi” (Target Acquisition Regiment) airborne “FOLGORE” (185°
RAO) commissioned to EXTREMA RATIO the developing of a special
knife based on specifications concerning their special duties.
The 185° RAO, is the only unit in the Italian Armed Forces in
charge of long range recons and to acquire several kind of targets to
be engaged with artillery, helicopters, aircraft and battleships
suppression fire, across all the possible theatres during armed force,
interforce and multinational force operations. A very delicate and
dangerous duty, operated by detachments capable to penetrate, operate
and survive in hostile surroundings thanks to a two years very hard
training.
The motto of this special operation regiment is: “VIDERE NEC VIDERI”,
from Latin: “SEE WITHOUT BE SEEN”.
The result is the knife called RAO, a survival knife, not a big folder
but a compact field knife with a strong and heavy blade and a very safe
locking system, assisted by an extra safe device that turn the folder
in a real fix blade knife. The blade opening and closing are acting
with both the hands together to minimize the risk of self injuries.
The blade, because of it’s weight, it’s a real guillotine. The extra
safe device is a steel pin to be hand screwed through two holes placed
by the guard zone of the massive anticorodal aluminum alloy handle.
This device is necessary because of the violence of the chopping
performances expressed this uncommon folder.
The presence of this concrete pin between the blade and the user hands
is a great psychological assistance to chop strongly and quickly.
The sheath is an essential part of the system.
It contain a diamond sharpener and allows the user to carry the knife
in open condition, held by a two clip provided lace or in close
condition inside the front pocket. The sheath can be hanged to the last
generating combat jacket or standard belts thanks to M.O.L.L.E. system.
