Following the success of the first version produced by Extrema Ratio in 2006 of the 185 ° Reg.RAO, the eponymous knife renews its form with the new version, the RAO II.
Its predecessor had been conceived and developed for the Reggimento Ricognizione ed Acquisizione Obiettivi, (R.R.A.O - Target Acquisition Regiment of Italian Airborne), the regiment that was formed in 1941 as the 1st Parachute Regiment in Tarquinia and in '42 was renamed 185th Parachute Regiment "FOLGORE”.
The operational component of this regiment is highly specialized and is able to operate in conditions of absolute isolation, in complete autonomy for several days, and to survive and fight in harsh environments.
These soldiers undertake both strategic and tactical tasks, conducting covert missions behind enemy lines, to observe the magnitude of the forces in play, acquire targets and direct allied fire (air, sea and land) for their neutralization. Because of the type and mode of operations they perform, the motto of R.R.A.O. is "Videre nec Videri", Latin for “See without being seen”.
The need to work self-sufficiently and adapting to the environment requires compact and versatile equipment but, at the same time, is both robust and durable: the RAO has been developed taking into account these requirements.
Since the first version, the folding knife produced by Extrema Ratio has shown really surprising strength. This oversized folding knife has the ability to be both reliable and useful as a fixed blade knife, with the advantage of greater compactness.
Au passage ma remarque concernait surtout le premier modèle RAO dont l'ergonomie et la forme de lame étaient vraiment "spécial". Je n'ai jamais tenu en main le second modèle dont tu parlais.
