Peculiarities
In order to decide in favor of purchasing this unique tool, it is first useful to understand both its numerous characteristics and some of its features, as well as to understand the ergonomics of the product.
Of course, it is worth noting that this product does not differ in budgetary price, and for an ordinary person its cost may seem too high, but the reliability and ease of use will outweigh this insignificant moment by several times, therefore, it is unlikely to save money when choosing such a product. someone will succeed.
The "Warrior" set consists of the knife itself, pliers, a second cutter with a saw, a ruler, an awl, a stripping tool, two screwdrivers and a file.
However, this multi-knife is quite often bought not only by the military, but also by ordinary users, which prompts considerations of its apparent effectiveness. By weight criteria, the instrument does not differ in the necessary lightness (400 g), but there are reasons for this.
The product includes a clip for fasteners, which, according to buyers, is absolutely inconvenient. There is also an additional hole with a ring for attaching a loop - this is quite unusual. The handle of the knife is made of plastic spacers, it fits tightly in the palm of your hand, does not move, there are no inconveniences.
This is a drop-down version of the knife. The pliers have a protruding head, which is very convenient, because they can easily squeeze the fuse, there is an awl. According to the developer of the tool, all parts were made separately on special equipment. It is for this knife that there is no interchangeability of parts - it will not be possible to make additional elements, since the military product was made according to a special technical assignment of the Armed Forces.
And where is the declared quality
Outwardly, it is difficult to call a multitool attractive, but it was also created for solving problems by the military, so the appearance is not the main indicator here. It is also worth noting that the 6E6 is the first serial model of a universal tool in Russia, which is included in the basic equipment of military personnel. The model has a solid weight of about 400 grams. There is a clip on the gun, with which you can attach it to the equipment, there is also a loop for attaching a lanyard. On the handle there are elements made of polymer clay to prevent slipping in the hand.

It is recommended to purchase a multitool of the "Ratnik" complete set from the SARO manufacturer for those who like to fix something on their own. This is the best option, since the most necessary tools will always be at hand. The product is connected with screws, with Phillips screwdriver heads.
The order of SARO for production was given by the Ministry of Defense in order to improve the basic equipment and to make life easier for the performance of official tasks.

The complete set of the multifunctional knife includes:
- nylon fabric cover;
- diamond file for sharpening the blade.
The entire implement is lubricated with conservation grease, so it is almost impossible to wipe off the knife without disassembling. The package bundle is not rich, but the product complements the basic configuration quite well.
Multitool tools
The multifunctional knife is equipped with the following tools:
- knife;
- pliers;
- awl;
- blade with a hacksaw for metal;
- a blade with a hacksaw for wood and a ruler;
- awl.
The ruler is not entirely practical to use, but it is intended for the engineering troops. There are nippers on the pliers, they can easily cut the wire.

Among the disadvantages of a cutting knife, it is worth noting that it quickly becomes blunt, but to solve this problem, there is a sharpener in the kit, and it can also be sharpened against a stone.
A saw for wood does an excellent job, but a hacksaw for metal has a too short working area.
The attachment in the 6E6 is very good, the tool is easy to attach to a belt or any unloading system.
Features of the multitool
Many people believe that if you buy a multitool, then the products of the popular brands Richardson or Leatherman are much more reliable and easier to use, but this is far from the case. If we compare these models with the 6E6 included in the "Ratnik" package, then the cost should also be taken into account. By purchasing 6E6, you can seriously save money, while the product is not practical and reliable.
This tool is great for unexpected situations where metal or wood processing is required, but the necessary tools are not at hand. Having a compact tool with an attractive appearance at hand will allow you to quickly cope with any problem that requires a specific tool.
Output
6E6 is the first model of multifunctional knives made in Russia and intended for the Russian armed forces. In truth, the product turned out to be not entirely successful. If we talk about functionality, then it would be better, since the knife quickly dulls, a hacksaw for metal is not very convenient to use. The design of the knife is far from perfect.

In addition, it is almost impossible to repair the knife in the field, since there are different screws in the structure, so another knife is needed for disassembly. A multifunctional tool is not always convenient, and for a small pocket knife the product has a significant weight, almost 400 grams.
Knife 6E6 with the "Ratnik" configuration can hardly be called the best equipment development for the army of the Russian Federation. Unfortunately, in Russia they do not want to think about the needs of the people, so 6E6 needs to be improved, since it does not yet satisfy the needs of the military.
