I know this is a bit late.....

and in the wrong section too!

But, like most of you I'm still undecided which of the Wenger's to go for. So I've decided to get what "I" want, rather than what will be collectable in years to come.

I've trawled the net on the various rangers, and the one that keeps lingering in my mind is the red/black 78 with philips driver and oht blade. I think it was KOTY 2009?

Does anybody have any ideas where there is one?

I feel as though the clock is ticking and very soon it will be too late!

You will have an hard time try to locate one in Europe, as I think (please someone correct me if I was wrong) that the RangerGrip 78 was only sold in the North America market.
If you really wanted that specific model and were willing to buy in the USA, try amazon.com
If you could compromise, there are two very similar models available here:
RangerGrip 178 (black and green handles, partially serrated main blade)
Ranger 78 (plain blade, black plastic scales)

Hi Basilo

I actually wanted this years ago, but could never quite justify the cost, this is before I joined MT'o

I've found a picture of the one I'm searching for.

Thanks

Not exactly what you are after, but maybe worth a look:

Hiya lowtech

Cheers for the link

But, its the red&black I'm chasing, simply because its the standard evo colour scheme. If I can track down one same as that in the picture I'll be singing in the street
