I posted some crappy pics of this in the "Fixed Blade" thread but they weren't the best. Took some new ones today as the weather is much better.

For those who haven't seen this one, it's a custom SHARK made by Justin Gingrich of Ranger Knives. It's the prototype to the Ranger Forum Knife he is building in a short run for forum members. The only difference will be the handles, the actual run of these will be done in Black/Orange G-10.

Here's the specs:

Blade length: 4 5/8" to the handle, 4 1/4" cutting edge.
Blade width: 1 1/2".
Blade thickness: 3/16".
Blade Steel: Mirror-Polished ATS-34 Stainless, flat ground with Convex Edge.
Handle Length: 4 1/2".
Handle Material: Black/Yellow G-10.
Overall Length: 9 1/2"

A couple in-hand shots..........

And a comparison shot............

.......left to right they are: Ranger SHARK / Ranger RD-7 Recurve / Ranger TFI.

Can't wait to get my Forum Knife version!

Thanks guys!

WhichDawg,

You need to head over to the Ranger Forum and get yourself onto the Forum Knife run. These things are wicked as hell!

I beg to differ. I got quite a few that are either too rare, too expensive, too sentimental, or too damn purty to use. Oh they can be and were built to be used.......but you won't see me using them. Besides, I got literally hundreds of knives.......I can only use one at a time anyway.

Benner, you'd hate my collection. I got so many safe queens I've lost count!
