The EX3909OP Operativo is a 12.5" fixed blade built for serious use: a 7.25" Bohler N690 cobalt stainless blade with MIL-spec black finish paired to a full-tang NATO elastomer handle that won't slip in wet conditions. The dual-sheath system sets it apart, combining a soft nylon outer calf strap with a reinforced fiberglass-composite inner sheath that protects the blade and allows quick access. This is a working knife designed in the Italian parachutist tradition, backed by a hard carrying case and removable inner sheath for versatile deployment.
