Another pretty yellow one!



Note the saw, pliers, OH blade, file and Mike Horn style awl!

That's the first Ranger I've been seriously tempted by. I like that a lot

I think that is the perfect tool combination for the ranger series  :tu:

I thought I was done with rangers other than the old #13 I need, but this baby is coming home.

Looks like it's an evolution of the Mike Horn for the home ranch.

From what I've seen this would be the best Ranger for (right handed people) hiking/camping. Good size OHO knife, the most capable saw found on a MT, moderate sized pliers, file and awl for running repairs and a can opener too all in a high-vis, high-grip wrapper. No evil liner locks either (or at least the ones where you have to put your fingers under the blade to unlock :twak: ).

Coupled with a Compact for scissors and scale tools and use in "public" areas as you pass though those quaint villages ... perfect! Well except for a pocket clip that is  :P

Yes, I think I'll be getting one of these  :tu:

Is there a backspring tool on the other side or just the awl?

OK, now give that to me with Scissors instead of the Pliers and I would have it in a minute.  :pok: :pok: :salute:

This is one of those great little moments when your so glad you just waited :D a while ago I asked Neil if it would be possible to loose a blade and add a saw to the Wenger Mike Horn, not an easy job, anyway ta da  :tu:

Is there a backspring tool on the other side or just the awl?

Also have that question. Usually Wengers carry a lot less on the back than Vics, though.


All in all, I actually liked this model.  :tu:
