Lone Wolf Knives Harsey Tactical Ranger Folder

Folding knives occupy less space than fixed-blade models and are safer to carry. But many lack the size and heft to do outdoor jobs well. Not this one: Designer Bill Harsey’s knife can do just about anything a sheath knife will. The Tactical Ranger Folder is one of those rare designs that is just about impossible to improve upon. Its handle is a marvel of ergonomics, made of glass-filled nylon with titanium liners. The 4.8-inch drop-point blade is formed out of a high-carbon stainless steel that, unlike most stainless steels, sharpens very easily. The hinge is huge; the blade is held open by a standard liner lock.

Ms. Gypsy, Thanks.

This is the seventh annual Field and Stream "Best of the Best" awards. They pick one knife from the entire international cutlery manufacturing industry for the award in this category. I haven't even seen the magazine yet but it is the December 2004 issue of Field and Stream magazine.

This is a big deal for Lone Wolf Knives and myself. Special Thanks to the guys and girls at Lone Wolf for making this project happen based on my prototypes. They are doing a great job and I'm sure proud of them.
