A Multi-Purpose "Tank" Knife: Extrema Ratio A.M.F (Review)
*** Specifications ***
Overall length: 34.5 cm / 13.5 in
Blade length: 20.5 cm / 8 in
Blade thickness: 5.5 - 6 mm / ca. 1/4 in
Weight: 490 g / 17 oz
Blade material: Bohler N690 cobalt stainless steel (hardness 58 HRC)
Handle material: Forprene (vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer)
Construction: Full tang, nut assembly
*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Extremely strong and durable
+ Shaving sharp edge out of the box
+ Secure and comfortable grip
+ Precise fit, well shaped guards
+ No hand shock when chopping
+ Versatile and practical as either survival or combat knife
- Expensive
- Swedge interferes with batoning
- Loose fit in the sheath
- Spine can't be used to strike sparks on a ferro rod
*** Verdict ***
As a multi-functional survival knife this is quite well designed, aside from a few flaws / drawbacks. It can cut, chop, pierce, pry, and smash if needed. Based on my testing I can say it would take a lot of hard (ab)use to even come close to damaging the blade.
There is a lot of attention to detail in the way the handle is shaped, and it's very practical. Despite the high production quality I can't help but feel it's somewhat over-priced. If you're not deterred by the price tag however I can recommend the AMF.
