The RANGER model is a fixed knife ideal for the camping kitchen thanks to its high blade; lightweight and easy to handle, it features a slim, ergonomic handle enhanced by a surface texture that ensures a secure grip in any situation.

The handle uses the brand new UltreX composite, a perfect material for modified G-10 handles. SureTouch is a revolutionary new patent-pending process that combines layers of G-10 with rubber. Now you can have the strength and durability of G-10 with the grip and non-slip properties of rubber, all in one material. 

The combination of G-10 and rubber offers one of the most revolutionary advantages on the market. Because G10 is commonly processed for the knife and gun industry, this new material allows for greater ease of use. SureTouch allows for improved grip and comfort.
