Hi everybody!
I had recently the chance to try two new multitools by Extrema Ratio: the POLICE III and the POLICE EVO

Here the ER site links:
POLICE III

POLICE EVO

As usual for Extrema Ratio, fit and finish are top quality

Besides the main blade, both the POLICE EVO and the POLICE III had an emergency blade (belt cutting blad) with automatic opening

[/URL]
Glass breaker
[/URL]
Marlin spike
[/URL]
[/URL]
The POLICE EVO has also several more tools: wood saw, file, can/bottle opener, magnetic screwdriver with interchangeable tips
[/URL]
6 tips are available for the magnetic screwdriver
[/URL]
On the front of the handle you may place the saw, or the file or the can/bottle opener
[/URL]
All tools are ready in the cordura sheath
Two carry options: metallic pocket clip
[/URL]
or MOLLE system
[/URL]
[/URL]
Lets test the POLICE EVO. The saw has the same dimension of the saw of a Victorinox Outrider
[/URL]
and the efficiency is the same, just great: I cutted down this branch 25 mm diameter in less than a minute
The file: I used it on a big nail, its works fairly well
[/URL]
[/URL]
Can opener: great efficiency, just great
The main blade is really sharp
[/URL]
You may block the blade by the specific button, locking the liner in open position
with this blade its easy to carve wood
[/URL]
so doing feathers for a camp fire
[/URL]
[/URL]
Conclusions: both the Extrema Ratio POLICE III and the POLICE EVO are great multitools, with some smart solutions and great fit and finish. I suggest the POLICE III for people looking an emergency tool for the urban environment. The POLICE EVO, with several more tools, is great also for outdoors activities/expeditions.
Here a small footage with pics and test:
