It really is shaping up to my favorite SAK of all time :cheers: I have an older model with only 3 backside tools and the older camping scales but the tool selection of the Ranger is very dense :dd: I guess for a 5 layer SAK it is as about feature dense as you are gonna get and still be as pocketable as it is :like:
You all know the drill, show'em if you got'em :D
Here let me get this started with my daily pic of it :tu:

Given the members of the club so far could we amend the thread title to 'The Vic Deranged' club? :pok:

But underneath it has two extra tools, the long thin screwdriver and a tiny chisel.
I wonder why the Mountaineer has a blank space where one of these extras would fit. The chisel is kind of useless, but the long screwdriver is great, as anyone who has tried to wire a light socket will know.
Sad to say, I still haven't found a convincing reason to buy a Ranger. The pliers on the Craftsman may be tiny but they're jolly useful.

From the top the Ranger is just a Mountaineer + wood saw.

That is curious isn't it. Any knife that has only one of the saws has no back-side tool on the saw layer. But with both saws, they add the chisel and screwdriver. I wonder what the reasoning is.

I like the pliers but never had a use for them with what I do and I always have a LM with me so I decided to drop some of the weight of the Swisschamp and went to the Champion and then now down to the Ranger :D By this time next year I may be down to a Solo if this keeps up :rofl:

I think it's because Vic wants you to buy several and have to decide which you like! :D If they made the one perfect SAK, sales numbers would suffer. On the flip side, having RA, I can live without all the extra backside stuff and those long uninterrupted springs on the back translate into strength and confidence, at least to me. The only broken Vic back spring I've seen in 45 years was on one of those backside tool springs. Another reason I like older Ranger/Master Craftsman models with less back side tools if I have a choice. Weird, nonsensical? Yes, yes. :DAnd no fun doing mods

Thanks, but an internet shot. Only character knife I ever owned was a Raiders of the Lost Ark. While looking at it I popped the scissors spring out. An hour later, after the expenditure of a fair amount of blood, sweat and profanity, I threw the #$%^& in the trash.
On the subject of the 'William Tell Overture', check out the overture to 'Donna Diana', by von Reznicek. It was the theme music for 'Sgt Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police'.

Got this Ranger in this week.
Company A of the Rangers (Arizona) has also grown to two in number, although I must admit that I expected a nice Mountaineer with camping scales in the mail. Photos didn't show the woodsaw or the number of layers so I "assumed". Not whining though, nice price and beautiful condition. It's older than my current one, probably somewhere between 85-91. No hook and only 3 back tools. It's good to see the "strength" of the Rangers growing. :cheers:

Here is the only thing that I had to fix on the Ranger when I got it :tu: The small backside fine screwdriver was twisted and had a bit broken off of it but I straightned it then took a diamond stone and filed it down with a good profile again and it works as it should again (albeit a little shorted) :cheers:

Always glad to see them!!! I've had to straighten a few of those as well but the most often screwed up tool on all my ebay bought knives is the corkscrew. Have no idea how the idiots can screw that up so often. If you're not smart enough to use one correctly....you're probably too dumb to own a sharp object like a knife. :facepalm:

We've all got our fingers crossed and Cthulu has it's tentacles crossed in every dimension of the multiverse that your Ranger isn't in danger and hasn't been found by a stranger. Hope it's at home (yours) dude :salute:

I'm just watching a documentary on BBC4 about the history of the Dada art movement. At one point in the programme, there was a series of Dada-style cut-and-paste montages representing the places where the movement started, and the Switzerland one included an animated Swiss Army Knife. It was a Ranger!
Awesome :like: Nice catch as well :tu:

I do like the Ranger, particularly it's tool density. I do have one, but I don't carry it. If I feel like carrying that style toolset, I carry my Original Outdoorsman instead. It doesn't have all the backspring tools, but I like the fact it switches the two blades for a serrated main blade and pruner blade. The Ranger I have got will be sacrificed to build the Mega91 at some point.

"Nacho" has the latest version of the tools and arrived in great condition.
The cross and camping logo are both the screened variety.
Though given my food choice this should have the "CRAPPING" logo.

Thanks Barry :hatsoff: I checked the date on this once before but I can't remember it right now offhand and will try and get back with you on that :tu: It is a good but can be expensive hobby as you very well know :D Good luck to him and hope he can find some great pieces at a reasonable price for his collection :cheers:

We'll be making a trip up to the Case Factory/Museum here in the next couple weeks. PM me if there's anything you'd like from up there. You're right....they are gorgeous but run a little pricey!!
Thanks for the offer buddy :cheers: I am good on Case stuff ATM :tu: I have to be in the mood to get any type of knife :D Hope you have a great time and if you can get a few pics for us :cheers:

:cheers: :cheers: I'm a big Space nut so the Master Craftsman is one of my main areas of interest. I almost never carry one. Carrying this one today because a buddy sent it to me this week (along with a bunch of other goodies). The Ranger is cheaper and is everything I really want in a 5 Layer SAK that I can use without worry. :D :cheers:

Am actually am thinking of doing a ranger with minimum back tools (corkscrew/phillips and awl) and replacing small blade with the inline awl... and probably adding an inline phillips as well...

I love me some outer space too. I've been eyeing the slightly more modern (pliers-having) NASA Craftsmans for sale from Japanese sellers. But wouldn't be able to take it out of the house if I spent that much on it.
Thinking about getting a small pliers MT that has a good phillips driver to team up with my Ranger. Kind of silly backing up a Ranger with a SwissChamp.
I do have a Matterhorn, but would prefer an inline phillips that can take a lot of torque. So maybe some kind of :multi:

If you could find one I think a Fuse or Kick would be a fine pairing with a Ranger :cheers: Of course a regular old PST would be a good one as well :think: Quite a few options I suppose :cheers: Good luck in finding one that you :like: :tu: I think most LM would fit the bill ;) :D

Here's a "Ranger" for ya....the scale actually came off a beat up spartan (back scale is from old Huntsman, both economy style) and is going on to a good condition Tinker and will be buffed out.

Yes, as I understand it since 2015 Victorinox has issued a version (model: 1.4763.SS) of the Master Craftsman (with the inlaid shuttle scales) only available in the Japanese market (I purchased mine through Amazon Japan). Unlike the orginal version it has the hook and wood chisel. I don't know if this issue is just a temporary one, or will be on-going. I only ordered it on 15th Dec, but it was delivered on 19th Dec (to the UK)!

Cost me ￥ 5,732 + ￥ 980 shipping + ￥ 1,342 import fees = ￥ 8,054

My son just joined the club! I was pleasantly surprised at how sweet a knife the Ranger is. The lack of pliers really takes the heft from it. It really is a pocket friendly Craftsman!
When I was first made aware of this SAK I knew I had to track at least one down :cheers: :cheers: They really do pack in the features for it's size :like:

Poncho, how does it compare carry wise with the Champion? I had my Craftsman out and compared the two, and the Ranger really does carry well :D
It seems way smaller than a Champion in my pocket :cheers: But with a suspension clip they both carry very well and I never even notice the Ranger in my pocket during the day :tu:

I didn't know this was a Ranger, but happily just found out it is! It's the older one without hook and chisel.

I think some of the lyrics of an old Elvis Presley song explains my feelings: "Her hair is soft and her eyes are Oh so blue / she's all the things a girl should be but she's not you"
I have become so attached to the Explorer and its set of tools that it has become my go-to for EDC. I frequently carry a secondary SAK such as the CT-29 but the Explorer is the SAK that I use most often. As much as I like the Ranger, I don't want to give up the inline Philips and magnifier.
This hasn't stopped me from enjoying my ownership of the Ranger. In fact, it would have been a perfect companion for my many motorcycle camping trips (rode for 35 plus years). These days, it has an honored place among my other SAKs.

Expedition? I hadn't heard of it but checked on SAKWiki and another site and found Expedition Lite. It had an LED light instead of a magnifier. I would definitely get an Expedition if it had the magnifier. Swapping the small blade for an awl would be wonderful!
Even though we all have our favorite SAKs, it is amazing how many SAKs we have in common. For example, I look at the Swiss Champ Sunday thread and there are the usual suspects (including me).
Thanks guys for sharing!

This hasn't stopped me from enjoying my ownership of the Ranger. In fact, it would have been a perfect companion for my many motorcycle camping trips (rode for 35 plus years). These days, it has an honored place among my other SAKs.
Nice one NCJ 8) :like: :like:

Expedition? I hadn't heard of it but checked on SAKWiki and another site and found Expedition Lite. It had an LED light instead of a magnifier. I would definitely get an Expedition if it had the magnifier. Swapping the small blade for an awl would be wonderful!
Even though we all have our favorite SAKs, it is amazing how many SAKs we have in common. For example, I look at the Swiss Champ Sunday thread and there are the usual suspects (including me).
Thanks guys for sharing!

So is the Expedition a mod? SAKWiki doesn't list it and neither does the Smartknives site.

Yes it is... I think Poncho has made one already minus the inline awlThat's why I called it the Expedition... same tool config except for the lite and electronic scales... In reality, expedition does not exist :cheers:Add the inline phillips and magnifyerto the Ranger, and you have an Expedition... Replace the small blade with a 93mm inline awl, then you have Poncho's ideal knife... :cheers:The Ranger is an example of a SAK with a great assortment of tools that I really like and admire but don't use. Why not?

It is still apart awaiting an in-line awl :facepalm: :D When I get that piece eventually it will be the SAK to rule them all :dd: :D

Great club!!!!!!
Just found a new one I had in my 44 rifle scabbard. I'll shoot them all as soon as my phone battery recharges.... :facepalm:
How many of them do you actually have SG :dd:
14 :facepalm:
14? :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
Yeah, I know. Nothing like losing your whole collection to make you slingshot back in obsessive ways... :D I'm trying to cut back.....just as soon as this last one gets in. :facepalm:
WAIT! I forgot the blue one!!!!!!!
So it's 15. :facepalm:
Did you say you are selling Some of your collection SG?
If you think 15 Rangers is something dont even ask SG about his SwissChamps or Farmers.

I'm not over the moon about it, cos I prefer my Craftsman and Mountaineer. It'll probably go on ebay again... I find it very hard to get excited about anything in red plastic scales these days.

I accidentally got a Ranger off Ebay... I was certain I would be outbid but it never happened.

Nothing like the feeling of relief when you are outbid on an item you really didn't want :D I try not to do it but I am sure that most of us do it from time to time :facepalm: Swap out the scales to something different like wood :shrug: Might be a fun project ;)

This first one I was sent as a freebie from a seller on eBay who I bought quite a few SAKs from. The original scales were rough, so I swapped out these green ones from another SAK I have.

Awesome :cheers: I like the green and if I didn't have the old style Camping scales on mine I would have already swapped them for a different color :DThose old style Camping scales look great in my opinion. I don't blame you at all for staying original.
I didn't mind removing the green scales from another knife I had because the guy said he had put them on there himself, so I felt as though I didn't disturb an original knife in removing them for the Ranger.

It is nice keeping one as original as possible :tu: When I bought this Ranger I knew that the scales were older and special but the first one I bought I was buying just because it was a Ranger ::) It has the same scales but it is in way better shape and stays in a drawer :D

I thought I'd add this older one to your thread. Model 236maU, jazzbass said it's an early 1960's Ranger.
Here it is next to my other one, old meets new:

I had some spare black scales, so I put them on my Ranger, kept my green scales and will now put the green ones on the new-to-me one.
I suppose the best part of the story is someone else got a Ranger.

I love brick hammers and all the related hammers and tools :dd:
I have a rock pick as well as several different sized brick hammers (both Estwing and several other brands) This particular one is a 24 oz. brick/block/rock hammer that has a carbide tip inserted into the chisel end that was put in with silver solder :cheers: My dad gave me this hammer brand new when I stared full time laying brick after high school :tu: That would make it almost 18 years old :tu:

While digging up that photo came across another of a Colt Monitor (semiauto BAR) owned by Hamer that's in the Texas Ranger Museum.

Did some more digging. The Monitor was a BAR with a pistol grip and shortened barrel. Some sources say it was full auto; others that it was semi auto only. May have depended on the agency buying it.

That Monitor of Hamer's is probably the most famous one in existence. A few years back, I had the pleasure of cracking a magazine full off from an original BAR at a WWII event. An old friend, long gone, was a BAR gunner in the Army and loved it (except lugging it!).

It's based on Poncho's ideal mod and will give him the honor of coming up with an appropriate name. :cheers: :drink:What to call a Ranger with inline phillips/mag glass, inline awl instead of small blade and a Compact style multi-purpose hook? :think:(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170411/6f8eeb4950e95b2b99283ee85c3c4a24.jpg)That's some pure awesomeness right there jaya!

Cool!!!! I've only heard a few on old radio channels on iTunes. A funny story. My mom, whose 87, used to know a kid that when he got into trouble, his mom spanked him to the William Tell Overture on the phonograph. I guess so she could keep time. I bet that kid hated the Lone Ranger. :D

Old Ranger in for surgery.
Victoria tang stamp, clip point sml blade, +PAT opener, wire stripper cap lifter, bail, metal tip tweezers... all the good stuff.
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3939/32920955674_ebab1ecb36_b.jpg)
The finished product with a present-day model.
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4171/34294363091_8cf62340b8_h.jpg)
Yes I know there is a chip in the blade but it would take too much to blend it out. I'm trying to think of it as a single serration.
No it didn't come from the bail, the blade of this knife was snapped off and this one came from an old Fisherman which didn't have a bail and it doesn't line up anyway and the bail is brass which is too soft to ding the blade unlike the steel bail on a SI.

Before I came down with a bad case of "Gotta have a magnifier", I bought a Ranger because of its great assortment of tools. Wood saws are a nice to have but I am very partial to metal files/saws. My ranger spends all of its time in storage and has been eclipsed by my collection of Swiss Champs.

I posted about it over in the Mod Squad in this thread
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,69140.msg1468853.html#msg1468853
It started life as a Champion and I removed the fish scaler and Hiraethus kindly sent me an inline awl (and also the scales) and the rest is history :salute: It was my first mod and wasn't to terribly hard to do :tu:

I love that mod!!! I also read your reply in a subsequent post that you did the mod--impressive!
The inline awl is my favorite. I think that the other would do the job just fine but I never give it a chance because every time I need an awl, I grab one of the alox Pioneer models. This morning, I was getting ready to leave to take my wife to a doctor's appointment and was wearing cargo shorts for the first time since the weather has warmed up. I didn't notice that the belt was too loose until we were ready to go out the door so I grabbed my Harvester and less than a minute later I had another belt notch. You had a great idea in going with the inline awl!

Medium to light, I start with 600 or 800... sanding one way from tang to tip... moving on the next grit once sratches from previous grit is gone...
From 1000 up, I wet sand...

I am now a member of the club! :climber:
Recently, I picked up a late 70's or early 80's Ranger that only has the awl, fine screwdriver, and the grooved corkscrew on the backside. After a thorough cleaning and sharpening followed by a set of new scales, here you go!
Cheers,
Serge

Vic must have had a problem sharpening though, small blade has a curve/hook and large blade has a whole bunch of little teeth. Still, a very nice knife so I think I will keep it. 😜😜😜 :rofl:

Thanks SG, it is in very nice shape. I get the impression that this was someone's tackle box knife. Even had an old brass swivel with clip attached to the key ring. Scales were a little scuffed, not like pocket carry but they cleaned right up. Only things used seem to be the two blades and even those not much. It will get some pocket carry now........😛 :cheers:

Yeah, possibly. It might be better as one of those "make it up as you go" kind of projects. :D
All I know for certain is that I want the serrated blade, pruner, scissors, cybertool, and metal file. Undecided on saw and pliers, or which backspring tool would pair best with the file,
Decisions, decisions .....

I had to build this one just the get it off my mind as I initially was debating either to build this or the Master Ranger.. now I built both...
It's not final though as some day it will get disassembled again to make way for an inline awl and remove the small blade... some Ti scales, brass liners and Torx screws... at least that's the plan... will enjoy this baby in the meantime...

Poncho, I had to go back aways to see the Ranger with camping logo that you used to feature in your posts on this topic. There must have been some subliminal suggestion in your posts because this look grew on me to the point where I just had to get a camping logo Ranger for myself.
Now, you are featuring a Ranger mod with a magnifier. I saw someone else post a similar mod some time ago that also featured an inline awl. I think it is a useful tool that I would love to have but it's no longer a Ranger. Bring the camping logo Ranger back buddy!!!
Jim
P.S., Wonderful photos!!!
Post by: Poncho65 on September 24, 2017, 05:11:37 AM
Poncho I see a phillips / mag layer on that sapphire SAK you keep posting. That isn't a ranger. ???
If you would read more in the matter you would find it is my mod the Master Ranger :pok: It is modeled after the Ranger with the addition of the the Phillips mag layer and an in-line awl ;) Plus I figured since this is my thread I can put what I would like :whistle:

For me, the magnifier is my major weakness. If a SAK has a mag, I probably have to have it! The mag is one of compelling features of your Master Ranger. The inline awl is another feature that I find hard to resist and probably my most used Alox tool.

Agreed! Although I wouldn't mind having a "Master Ranger", which is what Poncho calls his mod that adds an inline awl, philips driver & magnifier.

I was happy with my one Ranger purchase until Poncho teased us (quite some time ago) with post after post featuring his Camping Logo Ranger. Finally, I just had to get one for myself. Pictured below is my new old stock in box Camping Logo Ranger together with my other Ranger with the standard red scales.

Very nice! That's what Amazon advertised mine as, even though it was just standard scales. :oops: But the knife was so cool, I didn't really mind that much :like: :like:

Answer: a Handyman
Poncho has a mod he calls the Master Ranger and I wish Victorinox added that tool set to its offerings. Poncho's mod adds an inline philips driver, magnifier and inline awl to the Ranger. It could be a Swiss Champ if you swapped the inline awl for the fish scaler. What if all you wanted to do was add pliers to the Ranger? Victorinox has that model--it's called a Handyman!
Pictured below is a new in box, old stock Handyman together with a standard Ranger...

I've got a Craftsman and don't mind pocket carrying it but the Ranger is s bit more friendly. Love that Camping scale and that beautiful box Jim!!
Thanks! I do have a number of vintage boxes but no where near the amount of FolderBeholder. She had an impressive inventory of NIB SAKs from old stock. The Craftsman is a cousin of the Handyman (like Tinker and Spartan) in that the Craftsman has the Philips driver in place of the corkscrew.

Folder beholder does have some drool-worthy stuff!
Here's the old ones I've held on to... just sold a NIB 70's economy Camper and kind of regret it.... but the 60's Elinox Camper helps me deal with the loss. :D
Included my one and only Ranger as to not completely derail the thread...

There should be a Ranger challenge badge Poncho.... I'd love to try it!! :dd:
I might even break out one of my Camping logo ones for it :think: We might try it around the first or 2nd month of the new year :tu: Or perhaps a middleman type badge for 4-6 layer SAKs :o :cheers:

The Pioneer and Farmer would count in my mind, tho the Pioneer X or Super Tinker might not, while the Climber and Camper are allowed, so :dunno:
Certainly, my +B Yeoman seems like a mixed-up middle ground, with scissors and magnifying lens, but then it lacks an awl and pen blade and has only one regular and one Phillips driver (not counting the eyeglass driver), compared with the three sizes of drivers on the Ranger and that plus a Phillips on the Master Craftsman.

3-4: Scout
5-6: Layer Cake
7-8: Stack
Cybertool S is three layers, but goes in Stack. Let's ignore that for now.

Never heard of the Ranger, until seeing this thread. How many layers? Does it come with the Plus scales to include a pin and pen? Does it come with black scales?
Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
The Ranger is 5 layers and is available with plus scales in black..... I know that Central Valley Wholesalers has the black ones.

Now I’m thinking of a Master Ranger with no blades or opener layer... Possibly with pliers. Would combo well with a Pioneer. :tu:
I have thought about a bladeless version myself :cheers: but since I use the driver of the bottle opener so much I can't figure out how to keep it and lose the can opener :think: If you do decide to do this then thread :pok: :D

These three tools together with the usual blades, openers, and the extra back tools make for a versatile carry.
Hoping to add a black and a forest camo to the collection.

fitted it with my last pair of solid scales with the gorgeous metal insert, and passed it onto its proud and happy new owner.
They feel different from the new ones, with the solid cellidor scales. Just feel heftier and more robust. Or is it just me ?

:cheers: Thanks fellow Knights and Ranger fans! It was a bit of an additional challenge to keep the scales 'nice' for the month. Normally hangs out in a change/watch pocket in jeans or a pocket alone. I use a pouch if it has to be in a pocket with keys, etc. It'll get a light polish and cleaning and put away.
And I think I have a bit of a Ranger problem...another one came in yesterday! :facepalm:

I need help identifying a Victorinox with a Camping tent logo. What I have looks like possibly a Ranger as it is 91mm and the layer tools looks the same set as the Ranger but there are only 3 back layer tools (corkscrew, reamer and small slotted screwdriver) and the reamer does not have an eyelet.
Anyone can help me identify this? Is it an older Ranger model or is it a different model altogether?

It occurs to me that the Ranger would be a serious contender for the "if I could only have one...." question. Still small enough that I don't mind pocket carrying it and yet packs in all the features and tools I like. Fatter models also, to my mind, start to get more awkward to use. Ever tried using the SwissChamp as a large flat screwdriver? It's a PITA.

That's a nice one Gareth! Actually, I've talked with a lot of people who only carry a Ranger and rarely need more. I've always considered it to be a pocket friendly Swiss Champ.
"Pocket friendly Swiss Champ" I think sums it up very nicely indeed. :tu:

My Ranger came in today. After a good cleaning it looks sharp again 8)
I really like it! Only slightly bigger than an Explorer, but with a much higher tool density. Love the fact that every available tool slot is occupied, even though I don’t use the backside tools very often. But, better to have it and only use every so often, than not have it and wanting it :D

I got mine on Monday, exactly the same as yours. Are the shield and camping logo printed, not inlaid?
I need to give it a clean and re lube, the factory stuff seems real thick and the snap of the tools just isn't quite there. Also, the strength of the back spring just doesn't quite have the same firmness as a Huntsman or Hiker or Fieldmaster due to the back side SD.
Still, it's a nice tool, and probably as big as I'd like to go for a SAK width wise

Since I'm living in an urban area and this pandemic has gotten people to be a bit jumpy, plus a lot of people in my company are quite nervous around any tool, the SAK is my go to outside EDC around 90% of the time. The Ranger has a very nice tool selection with some being a bit too much for my usual needs, but it is a top contender.
The part that I'm a tad worried is how much thicker/harder to carry would it be as compared to a Farmer since I'm mostly in jeans

Like that stainless inlay. Mine has it only printed :(
But be happy it has the stainless metal saw!
Or you can join me down the rabbit hole and get like every variant since ‘c. 73 with Camping inlays...or earlier for the rare-ish ones without!
‘71.5-‘72.5 236maU

Very close, but actually it is from the 1979 "Lord of the Rings" which flopped. (It was cartoon-rotoscoped). But it had some memorable lines, especially if you watched it over and over again like my sisters and I did before there was Peter Jackson "Rings."

That's funny, because recently I bought one, and it was also the first SAK I bought myself ! And also the SAK that got me to join MTO ! :woohoo:
And Barry I totally agree with you !

Any thing to be able to date it exactly?

My first SAK was an early 80's Ranger. I still have it. My dad bought it in west Germany while he was stationed there in the really early 80's.
Any thing to be able to date it exactly?
More and very detailed pictures would help me.
Top and bottom pics with all tools closed would be good too. Ends of the knife sometimes help if the details can be in focus.
Detailed close ups of the tang stamps and both sides of all the tools if you can do that too.

Most times I carry it, I could have just brought the Swiss Champ, Cybertool or even Work Champ instead. Otherwise, something a little smaller is normally more than enough.

Two weeks ago I bought myself a used Ranger. As a fan of the Climber, I wanted to see how a 5 layer knife feels and functions. After receiving it and inspecting it's tools state I can say that it has the fine screwdriver bent at the tip, metal file is rusty on the exterior edge and on the surface, liners are slightly bent (I imagine from the torque put on the screwdriver), and this is visible also at the scales level, as they have a hint of lift relative to the edge liners. The scales have no provision for tweezers and toothpick, screwed scissors, and etched main blade with the initials "IMS". It has no hook and no chisel, and 4 turn grooved corkscrew. I cleaned it, but I cannot remove the rust on the metal file. Can someone suggest something I should try? Please pardon my English, as it's not my native language :D
Suffice to say, I grew fond of it, but the idea that it's a mid 80's SAK, doesn't let me put it on hard tasks :D. After all, it's a bit older than me :)

This is my test mule Ranger. I use it to test out 3D printed scales.

I have 4 Rangers, all with customized scales:
- Rad scales (from an older knife, they are not hollow) and new silver bolsters and shackle,

- Bone scales and new silver bolsters and brass spacers and shackle (this one is slightly reshaped as homage to beautiful Böker Sportknife),

Only five layers configuration that suits me better: layer with another big blade and Reamer/Awl from 93 mm knife instead of metal file layer. One big blade and pen blade I keep always sharp as possible, the other big blade is for rough use. 93 mm Reamer is one of the best Victorinox tools. Ans tip od wood saw is reshaped and can be used as nail cleaner. Knife on the pic has solid stainless handles and stainless pins.
