The new TUSCAN by EXTREMA RATIO: is it worth the money?

This is the new knife by EXTREMA RATIO: the TUSCAN. An innovative grinding and badass feeling. But will it perform? After the KC-01 by Lionsteel I am setting the standards very high! The review was in collaboration with Scintilla, a great family owned business where knives are their second skin. The knife was bought by myself. No financial incentive was given for the review.

I like N690 and the knife but its a mid level steel. It’s similar to VG10. VG10 is very inexpensive now. ER is just a very expensive company. I guess the owner of ER must have expensive taste.
C: 1.07; V: 0.10; Cr: 17.00-17.30;
Mo: 1.10; Co: 1.50; Mn: 0.40;
P: ?; S: ?; Si: 0.40;
Maker: Bohler-Uddeholm - Sweden (SE)
Notes:
Bohler-Uddeholm steel, recommended working hardness 58-60HRC. Similar to VG-10. Later, Aichi produced pretty much identical(with N690), ZA-18 steel, promoted to be better a performer than VG-10.
Its amazing the prices they charge. The 3v Lionsteels are way better than ER in every way . I do own 3 ER knives. I look back and say to myself what was i thinking…

I agree

[@MaximilianPX]

Lionsteel Is a very hard competitive brand!

[@gosrey]

What were you thinking? Like everyone else, you thought their styling cues and grind lines were hella cool. So overpriced, though. I love them, but will never own a genuine one.

❤ great review.

[@IsitAKnife]

Thank you. I appreciate it. It is not always easy to find the right balance in a review. Remembering even my limitations…. :)

[@IsitAKnife]

Thanks! Please let me know! I hope to have on the channel even a different point of view from a professional designer, the great Tommaso Rumici. Ciao!

Crazy expensive crap

[@LucaGarioni]

….nothing personal here, buddy, but I just hope this lame, crappy piece of metal was given to you for free…spending a penny of hard earned money on a senseless, overpriced, underperforming er knife is sheer foolishness….price/quality ratio being one of the lowest in the industry…. Ever heard of Trc Knives?… spend your pence wisely 😉

[@IsitAKnife]

no offence taken :) just for info, the knife was bought with my money :)

[@LucaGarioni]

Well….I wouldn’t go around bragging about it but…hey, your money your choice 🤷🏼‍♂️…you know how the saying goes…”one man’s meat 🥩 is another man’s poison ☠️ “….to me Er is poison through & through…I owned 3 in my life and had trouble with 2 of them from day one…(Sartre and Shrapnel)….they just didn’t seem willing to CUT…funny enough for tools called knives…but again, enjoy your meat 😉…I found my meat in Lithuania (TRC KNIVES), just a different game compared to ER (…and prices range from 250 to 500…yes, definitely not cheap but world class quality is there….not empty marketing as applied to our Tuscany friends creations).
