I took pics of an ultra secret new Ranger model as well, but I am not yet cleared to post them.  The marketing manager for North America said he would trust me to take pics but not post them till I got the go ahead.  It's killing me, because I know it was something you guys were looking for!

Time to start filling this thread with pointless speculation I think.  ;) 

Is it the Mike Horn Special?  :)

I guessed right.  :P  :D

Very cool Boss.  As I said somewhere else it rather looks like the plain blade is for the left hand, the rope cutting/rescue blade is for the right hand.  I can't imagine it's easy to reach passed one blade to get to the other.  Any thoughts?  Is there a lock release, for the plain blade, on the reverse side?

I really like the look of this, and I like the attempt at green credentials as well.  Good job on keeping it to yourself, it must have been tough.  :salute:

Few questions

*Are both OH blade locking? Seem only serrated is.

*If the modified awl is taking place of the usual phillips/corkscrew, what's the the usual awl spot?

*Is the awl sharpened? I just used the awl on ranger 58 drilling a hole on leather last night and it simply doesn't work.

*So besides the blades, there's file, pliers, and can opener, did I get everything (aside from what's in awl slot)?

*Wood pulp in plastic, I duno, just can't see that being durable.

As for the other questions, this knife was/is a prototype, so it's hard to say for certainty what the final version will be.

It comes with a nice case that holds two bits, and yes, the slot in the handle is a standard 1/4" hole.

As you can see, it comes with pliers.

The serrated blade doesn't lock, although there was some talk about putting the shield/lock mechanism on the opposite scale for the serrated blade.

Good info.

Well, if it ever goes from Prototype to production, it will become my pack knife.  I can't make that selection of tools into a single functional package--especially if it's lighter than the LM Wave.

Don't take me wrong: I strongly believe that the Mike Horn Ranger is a force to be reckoned. However, I can't help but wonder if Mike is actually going to use that tool or if he already has a favorite/EDC one (that is, if he uses anything other than specialized tools in his endeavor)... :think: I mean, for its size and weight I think that the average forumite here could easily suggest a handful of MTs with much better ergonomics and far more implements... :-\

Thanks for the link!  That is the tool I would design for technical climbing.  No need for a bottle opener or woodsaw (with a serrated knife).  File is hugely helpful, as is the bit driver.  Basically a stripped down LM Wave.

My SAK mod is coming along nicely.  Just waiting for brass pinstock.  It will be 91 mm based, with file, small blade and bit driver--Bare essentials for a day of multipitch climbing. 

Next up will be a bigger version for a pack--If it's lighter than a LM Wave. 

The Mike Horn Ranger would be a direct competitor for the Wave as a multiday trekking/mountaineering tool.
