New to me...Ranger 83

[tosh]

Can't remember seeing this model before and note it's not listed in the SakWiki.
Anybody else familiar with it?

Wenger Ranger 83

Hm, so basically a 60 without the OHO blade.

Seems too simple for it not to have been done before. Maybe it was a German exclusive as the German law allows locking blades as long as they aren't OHO.

[Caranthanus]

Not familiar, sorry
But, if it has no family, we would gladly and kindly accept it in our family to make it somehow biggest brother to great guy Ranger66, which is familiar to us and we love it, it's flawless

Funnily enough, that's exactly where mine came from, via Amazon
Sorry, I couldn't resist yet another Wenger

Well I didn't mention Germany accidentally. I recognised the shop by the watermark. You ordered the United Woods from them abd had some concerns so you PMd me about it. That's where my Germany assumption comes from.

I had a quick look, and I found this knife listed only in the german catalogs.
So I think that enki was correct about the German exclusive.
However, I don't think that Germany has any restriction on the one hand opening locking blades, as all the standard Rangers had been available for sale.

Oh,

we here in Germany can buy, own and sell one hand locking knives. No problem, but
we are not allowed to carry them in public without a legal reason

Yup, legal to own, not legal to carry. You can either carry a locking two had opening folder, a non locking one had opening folder or a fixed blade under 12cm.
