New-Old Ranger!

[WhichDawg]

I sent my old school Ranger RD7 back to Justin to get Tan Micarta scales to replace my orange G10 ones and
reprofile my blade spine (after I beat it last summer with a rock! it's all I had at the time and I wanted to test it )
and here she is;

Justin did it over this past weekend (mister speedy) and let me tell you it's perfect
G10 is an excellent scale material but for me, not for big choppers, to hard and too cold.

Looks great mate. 

[WhichDawg]

thank you sir, let me tell you, I really beat on that sucker and it can take it!

..... and reprofile my blade spine (after I beat it last summer with a rock! it's all I had at the time and I wanted to test it ......

Have you got any "before" pictures?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

No that, is a proper knife mate

[ducktapehero]

That is a sweet looking pig sticker.

[WhichDawg]

I do;






and when it was new;

[J-sews]

Beautyous!

...........any damage to the rock?

[Benner]

I prefer the micarta scales mate. 

[WhichDawg]

it was a small bowling ball size stone, took some chunks outta it too, but it was a heavy rock.

I was batoning a fallen tree for fire wood 5 inches ish (I didn't have my heavier tools, axe and such handy and I was far from home),
and when I was done, the edge of the blade still looked brand new and was still sharp.

I won't do that again, but a least I know it can take such "foolish" abuse!

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

You Hit It With A Rock , I demand you sent me all your other knives for safe keeping

[WhichDawg]

I know I know, dumb dawg! We were moving and were at a camp site, and she wanted a fire, and most of my stuff was buried/packed away
and I looked for other wood/logs to baton it with, but their were none and the park ranger said I could use the fallen trees and all I had was
my RD7

Ah, so there's the real truth of the matter, there was a girl to impress

[WhichDawg]

she respects and likes blades/MTs as much as I do, only I want more!

alright Micky, you've been around the block a few times, have you ever known sisters to be alike?!

[Splat]

Any RD model can take that and it'll still be asking for more!  Yeah, Black or Green Micarta's are favorites of mine. Somehow I end up with a knife with something other than Micarta though.    Anyway, shweet RD there, WhichDawg! May it serve you well in good times and bad.

Considering that you beat this thing on a rock WD, I gotta say it looks like it held up pretty well.

I'm like you Dawg, I prefer Micarta to G10.

However, Scibeer bead-blasted the orange G10 on my Safari Hunter, and I have to say it gives a great gripping surface.
