An example is the sharpening, which is exclusively handmade on each type of knife.

Extrema Ratio tailors to specifications or develops new products to solve the problems pointed out by its customers. The production potential, furthermore, is enough to guarantee government supplies on a large scale and with very high-quality standards.
