## Description

desertcart.com : Extrema Ratio - Misericordia (Desert) Fixed Blade Knife, Bohler N690 steel blade 4 mm thick, hardened to 58 HRC, stone-washed finish, lightweight ergonomic handle, made in Italy : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Just buy it right now - don't think about it. - 10/5 stars. Mind blown away by the craftsmanship. **WARNING** VERY SHARP!! which is a wonderful thing. This knife is amazing in everyway.
Review: Wanted to love this as an upgrade to Benchmade SOCP... but it was a step down in functionality. - I have been looking at this blade for some time and finally bought it, hoping for an upgrade to the Benchmade SOCP dagger; sadly, it is not. Pro's: The blade and handle are excellent, of superior quality, and have a great feel. The ring was functional, and the size of the handle contributed to the ease of use of the knife. Con's: The blade is single-sided, and while the guard marks it out as the cutting side, it is not as functional in a self-defense situation where fumbling happens. The sheath is likely one of the worst I have ever used (considering I own a lot of knives; this is saying something). The sheath-locking mechanism appears fragile; the blade both rattles and shaves the interior of the sheath when not inserted perfectly. All of this can be worked through. However, the worst part of the sheath is the MOLLE mountings, which neither lock nor remain in place. I initially utilized a single molle panel from Helkion Tex to mount this on my belt, but it fell off twice. Finally, I mounted it on my body armor (external carrier), but it fell off during a tactical drill involving a rifle and a three-point sling. I am not sure if the unit that tested these glued, taped, or screwed these things in place; but barring creative use of zip ties or black tape, this thing is not likely to survive a deployment anywhere other than the back of your car.

### ⭐ Very loose
*by P***R on August 27, 2025*

The blade is decent, but it is very loose. Video attached. No blade should rattle that badly. The blade is nice and light. If it wasn't so lose it would be a better rating. Tactical silence is important and this one a vest can give away a position. Update- company was no help to fix the issue-- too loose to make it work tactically. Return pending.
