The idea for this knife originated following the use of the multipurpose Fulcrum EI by the Italian "Nibbio" Contingent in Afghanistan. The excellent results obtained through the use of the Fulcrum EI gave rise to the idea of modifying it in such a way that it could be fixed to the issued rifle without losing its special characteristics, thus making it a complete multipurpose tool. Incorporated into the sheath is a sharpener and an extremely efficient wire cutter.
