Tactile Knife Co. Ranger Vintage Micarta, Magnacut

The Tactile Knife Co. Ranger is a classic slipjoint with a modern edge, designed by custom maker Jared Oeser and named for his neighbor, an Army Ranger. It has a bowie-style MagnaCut blade, and this version features vintage Micarta.

Each Ranger is hand fitted: Tactile assembles the knife, hand grinds the blade, backspring and handles for a seamless fit, then finishes and pairs the parts back together. The 17-4PH stainless backspring gives it a pull in the 6 to 7 range with a crisp walk and talk. The blade is CPM MagnaCut, a stainless powder steel that pairs high edge retention with excellent toughness and corrosion resistance, hardened to 63-64 HRC.

Tactile Knife Co. machines and assembles every knife in its Dallas, Texas shop, and each one is covered by the company's lifetime warranty.
