Extrema Ratio Resolza 8 Stone Washed

Description

RESOLZA is an ancient word meaning razor in Italian. The centuries old Sardinian “resolza” is one of the best-know traditional knives in the country – to this day it’s been the constant companion to island farmers and shepherds in their everyday work. It followed them even when they were called to war: chronicles of the Sassari Brigade during World War I mention the knife as part of the troopers’ equipment.

The Extrema Ratio Resolza revisits this traditional design according to their own high standards and is meant as a tribute to the Sardinian craftsmen still practicing the old ways of knife-making and keeping ancestral traditions alive.

This RESOLZA retains original measurements and proportions, with a 7.9cm blade, but is produced with the usual Extrema Ratio high-end materials and technologies. The handle was redesigned, while the blade more faithfully approaches a traditional shape. As an improvement on tradition, they have added a blade-locking mechanism.
