Is the Ranger/Master Craftsman the quintessential SAK
on: September 16, 2019, 12:19:47 AM
Greeting, honourable knights,

Today I carried the Ranger for the first time and wonder if it may just be THE SAK. It just ticks so many boxes: just 36 grams heavier than a Climber, not bigger than an Explorer and yet it sports an incredible amount of essential tools. And it is relatively cheap to boot.

So what do you think, is the Ranger/Master Craftsman the quintessential SAK? After all, NASA seemed to think so...

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts (and what you would consider the quintessential SAK if the Ranger/Master Craftsman isn't it).

Yes!  I have both, and find that they have everything you need and nothing you don't, in a pocket friendly package!

I don’t know if it’s the quintessential SAK, but I do agree these knives have an exceptionally useful set. I’ve often thought about purchasing a Ranger, but I haven’t followed through...

...yet.

The Ranger is certainly a great choice for someone looking for a 5-layer model.

YMMV, but to me it is a little too thick and heavy to be the quintessential SAK.  It might only be 36 grams heavier than the Climber, but that is nearly 50% heavier.  More significantly, in my view, it is almost 30% thicker than a Climber, which just makes it feel a bit unwieldy.

The quintessential SAK?  Possibly the Climber...

Cannot argue with that, of course :salute:  It's just that the Ranger is such an exceptional allrounder and still fits in your pocket (if only just). Isn't that what SAKs are all about?

Incidentally, Max Stone's review of the Ranger (a journey down the 91mm range) perfectly sums up what I felt yesterday. Well worth the read.

@ Nix, Frailer: well get out your wallets then!  :pok:  :D

I have EDC'd a SwissChamp since they first came out, but the Ranger would be my second choice. I have always liked it's tool density. :cheers:

I have EDCing the Ranger for the last month.
It's less bulky than I first supose. It have a lot of tools and still pocketable.
Feel better using it than the swisschamp.
I had a lot of uses for it in that time and I can say: The Ranger is one of the best Saks avaliable for the price.

For having back tools at all layers, I think the Ranger/MC might be a great candidate for being quintessential.

Personally, I would say my Mountain Yeoman mod is the quintessence. :D . I always advocate for the metal file saw, since it can wood saw(slowly), but not the other way around.

I bought a Ranger early on and I can agree its pretty fantastic.  Very densely packed with great tools.  I moved it on in a trade and then bought a Swisschamp.  Not sure how I feel about the Ranger now?  Its been a while tho its certainly a contender thats for sure.

When I think of SAK, I think of red scales, as for which version that is quintessential, I'd almost have to say the Boy Scout Explorer.  Fun topic.  :tu:

Simply start a thread about interest and get a sign up for challenge.  Check for a good month since there are challenges going on all the time.  It also gives those interested time to acquire a Ranger to participate.   Go for it.

I think the Ranger is the best 91mm SAK. It has everything I really want and nothing I don't.

For something the width of which is in the realm of the Tinker Deluxe, I would vote 91mm Ranger over Tinker Deluxe every time. You have to carry a Leatherman for decent plyers anyway, might as well get the most bang for the breadth in your 91mm.

The Fieldmaster or Huntsman is close.

While the Spartan should be considered the quintessential SAK due to its direct lineage, the Fieldmaster and Huntsman really do fit quintessential, since the word essential is in there. But the arguement could be made for the 91mm Ranger, since it is 5 layers (quint) and has all the essential tools...

Sorry. I had to.

You're right Thundah.  The biggest thing, for me at least, is the Ranger has all the tools on the back that the Swisschamp does.  I really like the chisel, goofing around with wood like I do.

You're right Thundah.  The biggest thing, for me at least, is the Ranger has all the tools on the back that the Swisschamp does.  I really like the chisel, goofing around with wood like I do.

Me too, I actually quite like it, and found it super useful especially in my Scouting years.

When I think of SAK, I think of red scales, as for which version that is quintessential, I'd almost have to say the Boy Scout Explorer.  Fun topic.  :tu:

I would have to agree with FB.  The Explorer is my quintessential SAK, especially the BSA version.  :cheers:

The Fieldmaster or Huntsman is close.

While the Spartan should be considered the quintessential SAK due to its direct lineage, the Fieldmaster and Huntsman really do fit quintessential, since the word essential is in there. But the arguement could be made for the 91mm Ranger, since it is 5 layers (quint) and has all the essential tools...

Sorry. I had to.

When Victorinox designed a commemorative coin they put the Huntsman on there which I think says something about the esteem they hold it in.

It pretty much covers a good bit of what you might need a SAK for.  32 years and I rarely needed anything else.  I kept numerous air cooled Volkswagens going with mine, as well as daily life.  A Climber with a saw :D

I’m not sure if the Ranger is the quintessential SAK for me: I think I’d give that honour to the Spartan. JMO.

Still, I’d choose a Ranger over a Huntsman any day. I find the Huntsman already a bulky knife, so why not have a thin extra layer and more utility?  :) 

Cost must come into it, I feel.The Ranger is a relatively expensive knife, a real step up cost wise from the Huntsman. Surely this affects its popularity?

For me, the thing that has pushed me to the Ranger isn't so much the file as it is the backspring tools.  It really is a pocket friendly Swisschamp.
