E.R. is too expensive for what they offer.There are knives with as good or tougher steel costing 1/4th the price.Like the Becker-9 you showed for example
I'm actually impressed. The handle broke, but the metal still held together after so much abuse.
I would dare say that there is a possibility of you getting a defect or ask why in the world would you want to throw your knife, but that's besides the point.
Although yeah, for that price you can easily buy custom and would expect nothing less than perfect.
@AdamWhistle i agree. keep in mind the temperature and how most polymer type handles are more brittle in the cold, but micarta would have been a better handle choice. ER knives are very good. most knive makers make it a point to not throw your knives as shit like this happens. a defect is very possible. if a blade is a last ditch weapon, it should never be thrown to begin with. and N690 steel is a very good steel. on par with vg10 and 154cm. id lke to see my tops condor alert in this test.
I bet that handle material gets replaced in a hurry! At that price point, I should be able to tell the knife to go stab something and go relax while it completes its assigned mission!!! I,d rather buy a Glock field knife, re-profile it and have enough money left over to buy a .45 semi auto pistol! That Extrema over priced junk.
Extrema Ratio is crap. Totally overstimated, a lot of marketing, all knives maded in the same crap steel and prices out of range. Italians knows how to make better knives, I know it, I'm italian :)
Those knives are over rated and over priced. There are many other cheaper knives with much better design and a good CV (like KABAR, MUELA, etc.). Best from Spain.
@clustergarde wow, wouldn't think there are many muela enthusiasts like me in youtube, great to know. extrema ratio makes some good stuff, just overpriced although the handle is nothing for the price. although good in quality, try fox knives for example, of course muela, aitor, nieto, not to speak of non european brands.
Thx for the review! I was interested in the knife, for collection pourposes only, but I think that for this price some quality has to be expected too. I'm Italian and I'm ashamed to see this...
Ok, i agree. it is overprized, but it is a DAGGER, it is ment to be for stabbing. It is not throwing knife or hard core tool. His only purpose is stabbing in tissue / silent killing.
I prefer just one sharped side, it's better for many works because u can put your hand on the other side to help urself in wood or leather cutting, and it's still dangerous xD.
The cold didn t help the handle but i agree whit you and whit all comment.
I am from Italy and i can tel you ER do ALL KNIFE (all blades fixed or no), whit the same ticknes 6,3 and use basically 2 kind of handles; they seriusly do all possible for save money... They have nice sheaths and stuff but the knives it selves are not better than any KA-BAR or similar and cost 4 time more. I really was not informed about the handle was so weak; SHAME...
I love the ending! Very good tests. I believe extrema ratio seriously overcharges for their product. There are knives for 3/4 of the price that would never have that problem.
Ja, da haben wir es! Meine Frage ob ein 400 Euronen Messer auch das Geld wert ist.... Sag mal, ich wiederhole mich: Echt geile Tests aber ist das nicht auch ein Teil Wertzerstörung? Oder haste von E.R. Ersatz bekommen (Garantie)? Ich würd durchdrehen wenn ich 400 Euro in den Sand setzen würde. Das ist 1/3 meiner Scheidung....man was das in Nutten umgerechnet wär....ich draf garnicht dran denken ;-)
@69xarfai96 Hei! Nun - das Geld ist nur zum Teil in den Sand gesetzt: ich habe bereits selber einen eigenen Griff dran montiert und nun ist es voll einsatzbereit.Die Klinge hat ja keinen Schaden erlitten,und mit dem neuen Griff ist es nah an "unzerstörbar".Sicherlich hätte ich nen neuen griff von Extrema Ratio bekommen,da pfeif ich aber ehrlich gesagt drauf,weil er wiegesagt nichts taugt.
Great test buddy :o) That is a crappy handle indeed! What is forprene? That is definitely not acceptable for that price! I liked your reaction at the end ...hehe! 10/10 or I guess like !
why did you cut the scene when you pick up the knife and shows us? It is not very credible, it looks like bad publicity.

Very, very good test. I am very sorry for the expend that you have afford, but that is completely inaceptable for a 400 euro knife.
I have extrema ratios from china at 30 euro and I have thrown it several times and are great.
One of the knives that stand the heviest strikes with its handle is the GLOCK.
Is INDESTRUTTIBLE and it is about 35-40 euro. It stands 10000 hits heavier than the one that you did.
CONGRATULATIONS for the test.
