Oliver Debus from Germany shown above with his Harpoon F II (Please click image for larger picture) Oliver has this to say about his knife: "Yesterday my Extrema Ratio Harpoon FII (with sawback) knife arrived. I was really excited when I opened the parcel and wow it is amazing. The knife is outstanding and its quality is superb. It is like Extrema Ratio promised. Very nice to handle, light but tough. This you can really say, is a knife for life. The finish is extremely nice and unique (I have the GeoCamo Version). I have already a lot of knives, but this knife is special. So I made my decision for the future ...............only Extrema Ratio. Well it was the first time that I ordered a knife from the U.S., but I can say that Xtreme Knives is really good. They are very friendly, quick and make everything happen. I can say that they are really better than good knife sellers in Germany; and quicker. I made my choice for the future and there is only one choice ............Xtreme Knives." I have been buying several products from the US, happened to stop by “http://xtremeknives.com” to buy a 185 RAO with black sheath. I have never had such a great buying experience while buying from the US. The customer service, understood the needs, identified the requirement and dispatched the goods immediately. Most of all the response was prompt for every query that I had asked. Reliability of buy from these great people is undoubted. There are many places from where you could buy knives, but I go by the rule of stopping by a store where you get good customer service. I would definitely recommend and buy more products from “xtremeknives.com” at the wink of my eye. Your Team is doing a great job. It was truly a great experience……. Regards, Paul - India You’re the best company I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing business with and you sell a top of the line product that has both a great amount of style and high functionality. I’ve already recommended your website to a few of my co-workers that have been very intrigued by my new knife (Fulcrum C). When it comes to knives, you carry the best. These knives (Shrapnel, Kukri, Fulcrum C) are the best quality knives I’ve ever owned. I’ve had a few that came close, but not quite as good. As far as my new Fulcrum C, I’ve already had the pleasure of carrying it on a few missions and so far so good. As for price, the knives are expensive, but it’s well spent money. You definitely get what you pay for in a great quality knife that will definitely last you a lifetime. Any questions Xtreme Knives can’t answer, they get the answer from the parent company. XK checks up on their buyer to make sure they are satisfied and they will give you 110% to make sure that you are happy. Never have I dealt with a company that cares about their customers as well as they do. Thanks for carrying great products and for the great service. MBS - Iraq Just wanted to let you know that I received my RAO 185 yesterday and was thoroughly impressed with the knife. I'm an avid collector of knives and have amassed a nice collection of folders from case to strider, but my RAO truly stands out among them. The fit and finish of the piece rivals any custom blade that I have seen or own. I would highly recommend the knife to anyone that needs a truly solid blade as a daily carry or intends to use it for law enforcement, camping, hunting, fishing, or any other field that would require unparalleled reliability. If you are looking at purchasing an upper end tactical folder look no father then the RAO 185 you will not be disappointed!!!! Xtremeknives.com had excellent customer service, fast shipping, and the best prices that I've found. Sincerely, T.W. Davenport. Austin, TX Just received my Nemesis Folder and I am impressed! I have owned many "Top of the Line " folding knives but this Nemesis folder is by far the best!! It beats all custom and production folders I have ever owned hands down! One feature that was unexpected on the knife was that the blade when folded is completely encased inside the handle, no body of the blade protrudes. A very clean design and a very well thought out feature for a pocket carry folder. Do not hesitate to purchase if you need a large, strong, daily carry folder! Being an ex soldier, I readily recommend this knife for field use. Well done to Xtreme Knives! Darnell - Canada Hello Nancy, Yes they arrived [Fulcrum II D and MPC] and yes I'm very pleased. The difference in the quality of these and the "knockoffs" is for real. They do a great job on the surface with the fakes, but the feel of the finish on these is very nice. It almost has a silky warm feel to these handles. The lock-up is "SOLID" and the action crisp. I would say that they are every bit a top shelf knife. I've had many knives from a lot of the top names you see out there and these may not have some of the fancy embellishments but if you want a KNIFE for a dirty job these will get it done. The FULCRUM ll is in my pocket and ready for EDC. The MPC on duty in my bug out bag/day pack and ATV rack bag from here out. Thank you Nancy and Xtreme knives. You've got another happy customer. Best regards. SPN The MF0 is a great EDC addition to my small collection. The extra thick 0.16” thick blade locks up tight with serious authority and is by far the sharpest blade I have out of the box – razor sharp! It is clear that the designers put some thought behind this very robust but small knife. It has a good weight (not too light) and a comfortable feel, if you have a wider hand. It’s like holding a full size blade because the handle fits securely in the palm and spine of the blade is “jimped” (notched) at the perfect location, such that the thumb lands in a natural position to facilitate knife orientation. Lastly, I appreciate you’re your kindness and customer support over the email. I plan to make another purchase and take advantage of the Postal Money order savings again. B.R. - Orlando, FL Just wanted to send off a quick note to you to let you know my beautiful Extrema Ratio T3000C is here, having arrived Saturday, in perfect condition and of even greater quality and beauty than I anticipated. As a lover of knives I have purchased quite a few, but I don't remember ever receiving such prompt, hassle-free ordering, delivery, every step of the process convenient, accurate and efficient (along with customer service I can only describe as lovely). I will certainly do business with you and your company at every available opportunity. If there is something somewhere that I want and I can get it from you or another source I will choose you every time. Please feel free to use this letter, if it is of any use for your promotion or recounted customer experiences. I could not be happier. (Note: email address available upon request for anyone who wishes to verify his statement.) K.H. - Denver, CO I happened to be in Kiev, Ukraine, last week, working with some interesting professions. It was all I could do to keep my Shrapnel! I will not give it up and after having my associates see it, handle it and work it, they were not interested in the "cold steel Recons w/serrated edge and drop point that I had brought them". Funny, just last year they begged me for cold steel knives but after seeing the Shrapnel they now want them! These are security professionals that drive the biggest and best vehicles, work for high profile executives and wear very expensive watches. I think that the fact that the Shrapnel is Italian appeals to their sense of style, not to mention that it is one hell of a knife for personal protection. Gus Zamora, Security Consultant/Security Contractor - Riverview, FL I just opened both of my new knives and the belt clip!! These are two awesome knives! (Fulcrum K9 and MF2) As usual the craftmanship is incredible and the action on the MF 2 is smooth! Thanks again for your WONDERFUL customer service--I greatly appreciate all that you do for me, and that's why I won't buy a knife from any one else but you! I'll enjoy these knives for years to come--and since your website is my homepage, I'll keep my eyes open for new models that I may want to purchase. B.G. - Roscommon, MI Please feel free to quote me when I say that I use the Internet to make purchases all the time and I have never worked with a company that makes the deal work as smoothly as yours does. One week turn around after sending a money order is a record for me! Believe me, the next time I need an Extrema ratio knife, you'll be the first to know. C.K. - North Canton, OH My Extreme Ratio Harpoon F II knife just arrived, the one with the saw back. Thank you very much! There is really not much to say about it, it's just a knife. But then again it's the darn best and solid knife I've ever owned and used! And I really thought I had it all and I had seen it all from Gerber, Boker and Cold Steel, over to Puma and the rest of the so called great brands out there. And despite being a lawyer today, one of those disgusting and greedy little b------s, in my young years I was actually in the Foreign Legion and I do know what a knife has to be - the ultimate tool and the most intimate fighting weapon! Thank you for this great product! M.B. – FL/Gua. I definitely agree with other comments that the customer service is simply outstanding. The MFO, as well, has exceeded my expectations in every way. I like the unique design, solid black color and excellent finish, nice heft and handle thickness, red secondary lock, blade shape, and easy but firm open. The feel and multiple design features of this knife are so engaging that it is difficult to stop handling it. But when you finally do let it rest in your pocket, the clip easily fastens without being too tight and the knife does rest deep and completely concealed as described. I don’t know of any other compact carry that is anything like this. It just became my most favorite carry. It is one serious piece and worth every penny. GS - Lincolnton, NC Stellar customer service is getting more difficult to come by these days. My hat is off to your company. You have quality products and your prices are competitive as well. What a winning combination! I am sure we will be doing business in the future. Robert Smith - Guam “MF1 is a structurally superb drop point blade with a robust design and a tremendous grip. Being a medium sized knife, it is perfect for self defense or for situations where a smaller EDC blade would be deemed inadequate. I like a slightly heavier and slightly thicker than average tactical folding knife design, so this was a perfect choice. Another round of applause for Extrema Ratio.” Ben It is a wonderful knife [MF2 Folder] that cannot be explained at my English level. Knife with strength that cannot be judged from face. The blade was able to cut very well, and to shave the downy hair. It was felt that it was more efficient than an average custom knife. The opening and shutting of the blade is also smooth, and the lock system that can be operated by one hand is a charm. We wish to express our gratitude for Nancy's kind attitude. Thank you Nancy! Thank you Xtreme Knives! R.I. - JAPAN (NOTE: This comment was posted on BladeForums.com in the Good Bad Ugly section.) I just ordered an Extrema Ratio Schrapnel from "Xtreme Knives" in Utah. I got my knife in 3 days and the customer service via Nancy on the phone was outstanding. It seemed like they would bend over backwards to get you what you want. Not only that, the prices are the best I have found since most of the wholesalers don't even carry Extrema Ratio anymore. It has been a great experience. Ronald Cassel - Bremerton, WA. I have always wondered why anyone would consider spending 100’s of dollars on a knife, and now I know why. This Faida/Nemesis folder is extraordinarily engineered. It inspires complete confidence. I would not hesitation to depend on it for life-threatening circumstances. E.J. - UT The ER (Extrema Ratio) Nemesis (Faida) arrived this morning! It is a great knife and I know my brother will be very pleased and put it to use. I am thinking of ordering one for myself at some point. This was my first order with XtremeKnives.com and I couldn't be more impressed with the whole experience. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you. The customer service was top notch. The shipping was fast and the quality was outstanding. I will absolutely use you for all of my future purchases. Thanks again. Dave Andersen - Hunt Valley, MD This knife (RAO) is really cool! After reading Jeff Randall's article on it in "Tactical Knives" I thought this would be a real good one to have. He literally beat the trash out of one and it seemed to want more. That's a great recommendation. Even though I haven't "used" it yet I feel it would easily do all you could ask of it. Extrema Ratio is the best manufacturer of knives I know for product quality and customer support and Xtreme Knives is definitely up to the brand they sell - best customer support and connections with the manufacturer I ever run into. Well worth a purchase from them. (NOTE: He has purchased several Extrema Ratio Knives from us.) Erminio, Chandler, AZ Had wanted an Extrema Ratio for some time. Guess I had held off in the past as they seemed hard to come by. That's not the case now. The RAO was packed in a nice box. Everything appears to be first rate. Having not been able to see one before I ordered this one, it makes it tough sometimes when you consider paying for a premium knife. One tends to set the expectations high as I suppose they should be. Well I am certainly not disappointed in the least. Great service on a great product. E.V. - North Platte, NE. I would like to thank you for the prompt and courteous service you provided when I recently purchased a Col Moschin knife. The fit and finish of this knife is flawless. The blade is very sharp and the handle is comfortably correct for the knife's intended use. Overall, the Col Moschin is a knife of high design and production quality with outstanding handling characteristics. Thank you again for your kind attention. T.S., Alexandria, VA Received the Extrema Ratio "Col Moschin" knife yesterday. It is indeed very impressive. I am very happy with this purchase... The knife is sharp as all heck, and I plan to carry it on hiking trips as well as a back-up for work and emergencies... R. L. - Woodland Hill, CA. Just wanted to let you know that my knife (Extrema Ratio Fulcrum S) arrived at our camp in Afghanistan yesterday. It met/exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with the fast delivery time. I will definitely recommend your company to my friends and co-workers... T. E. - Somewhere in Afghanistan I received the RAO 185 and this is one of the most well made and most beautifully designed knives I have ever seen or held!! You have my business from now on and I'm very impressed with the entire transaction and the speedy shipping. Thank you very much. Joe Dimeglio, MycoForesters. Eugene, OR About the best customer service I have ever seen anywhere. They are so accommodating, kind, and have such great prices and shipping, I wish I could buy everything I need there, from groceries to gasoline. They mainly sell knives, and if they carry something I can get elsewhere, I'll get it from Xtremeknives.com every time. Best store on the net. Plus they carry some rare Extrema Ratio and other products that I don't think you can get anywhere else -- they are in direct contact with the Italian company and will happily special order what they don't have on hand, quickly and at great prices. I just can't say enough good about them. You will not be disappointed. -A customer for life ...As for my RAO, I love it. I carry it often when in the woods (for emergencies only) no whittling! I placed a small firesteel in the slot that is used for carrying the knife when open. So in this small package I can make fire and a shelter. Very comforting. J. S. - Franklin, NC I received the knife this morning (Extrema Ratio Fulcrum E.I.) and it is just what I bargained for. Thanks for your assistance in seeing this through. Rating: Excellent. Price Rating:Excellent. Shipping Options Rating:Excellent. Delivery Rating:Excellent. Ease of Purchase Rating:Excellent. Customer Service Rating:Excellent. Body:Nancy, Customer Service Representative for Xtreme Knives, ensured my transaction went smoothly from order to delivery. The product was delivered even quicker than had been projected at time of ordering. I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of Xtreme Knives and intend to utilize their services again in the near future. G. M. - Artesia, NM Just to let you know that I received my RAO without any problems. It is just as I expected, a fantastic and quality made Folder. I am very happy with your service and its a pleasure to do business with you. Also thanks for your quick response to my order. I would most definitely recommend you to others at any time. I have been looking for my ultimate knife for some time, and this one surely fits the bill, and being able to carry it either as a Folder or a Fixed Blade is a fantastic feature. I will certainly be purchasing from you again. Many thanks. DM - Tasmania (Australia) My Schrapnel arrived yesterday; One of the quickest shipments ever. First impressions were very positive. Everything is just right; from the grind lines to finish and fit to grip ergonomics. Heft and handling is impressive. I whittled, chopped and stabbed into a pine 4X4, cut paper and cardboard and shaved some hair off my arm. One tough piece of steel, so far. My Schrapnel will be put to further use out in the woods. The hard handle forms a perfect fit over the full, encapsulated tang. Disassembly for cleaning is a snap. I also like the safety and convenience of the sheath. The knife is held securely yet instantly available. This is my first Extrema Ratio and I am impressed. RB - New York, NY hey nancy, ive ordered from you guys again because from my own experiences and the feedback that people have left on your website, its clear that you have a unique business where you still offer a high level of customer service, a concept that your competition cant grasp. thanks again. dan - australia Comments from Daniel Jackson Customer's Comments about His Golem It is the responsibility of the buyer, not Xtreme Knives, to determine and follow all local, state, federal and international laws and ordinances regarding the purchase, possession, and use of any item purchased from us.
