Quote from: Monrogue on September 09, 2013, 02:50:37 PMI've heard the nylon is grippier as you said, which I would like too. I would also like the fact they're tougher as cellidor does seem to scratch easily. I remember when I still had my black Explorer, my wife knocked it off the kitchen counter () and it got a noticeable dig on the back scale. It almost looked like it had landed directly on a tiny pebble and embedded into it. It was only like a 3-4 foot drop, so it seemed a bit much to me. They are much grippier. Someone in these forums (don't remember who ATM) also said that you can even enhance that effect by using sandpaper on them but I haven't tried that. I think you should give them a try. Cellidor can take some beating but it does tend to lose entire bits when dropped. This makes me anxious when using my Vic Handyman that wears cellidor, being anxious makes my hands sweat, which brings us back to nylon Quote from: Nhoj on September 10, 2013, 01:48:19 AMyou can harvest the metal cross from cellidor scales and inlay it into the nylon. That sounds interesting. How do you do that, please?

I don't have a Ranger. The nearest I have is an Original Outdoorsman (two actually ) and I have found the pruner and serrated blades to be incredibly useful at times (fibrous materials and opening clam packs are good examples)

I can't be the only one that doesn't mind, or even prefers to see scale damage.I think of SAKs as useful tools and signs of wear on the scales show a tool that has actually been used.My Cybertool 34 has various scratches on its scales, these are badges of honour that celebrate 13 years of EDC, they are a good thing!Nylon scales for better grip is one thing, but never be afraid to get your cellidor scales scratched!
so ah.. sign me up.. decided this Ranger is my new workhorse. Mooring the aging Climber II ('rostfrei' hilt stamp) into the ghost fleet pier, to be called upon only at the end of the most dire times of need.(Image removed from quote.)
Nice Rangers Philby and NutSAK Colt, I hope you find one then As for me, I will actually be out of my own club soon My Ranger has become a sacrificial SAK, although it's only the scissors. It'll be coming back the same other than that. Not sure what that makes it, but it'll probably be up in a giveaway sometime in the near future...
The Ranger is a somewhat overlooked model, IMO. I think many folks who shop for a Huntsman would buy a Ranger if they realized how much more the Ranger has to offer with just one more layer... I agree, the size is just about the limit for comfortable pocket carry.Here is one of my Rangers with the inlaid "Camping" scale:(Image removed from quote.)
I finally decided to give a home to a new Ranger, which is in fact a 5-layers Champion without magnifier and scaler
Quote from: Caranthanus on February 13, 2014, 10:11:23 PM I finally decided to give a home to a new Ranger, which is in fact a 5-layers Champion without magnifier and scaler I fixed that for you! You could also say it's a Swisschamp without pliers, magnifier and scaler...Sorry to hear of the theft, but I'm glad you have one again--I think it's one of the best SAKs in the Vic lineup!

Nice Rangers everyone Quote from: NutSAK on February 13, 2014, 09:03:18 PMCamper Plus (with file)?That's a possibility I don't think there has been any stock model with that loadout, but correct me if I'm wrong. It'd be great for anyone who doesn't care about the scissors, which slims it down a bit.

Haha, thanks for looking the other way I had to sacrifice its scissors for a custom alox I had done. Oh well, it was worth it
