Swiss Army Rangergrip 57 Hunter Multi-Tool Pocket Knife, Black/Red, 130mm

Now THIS is a Swiss Army Knife! Ok, that said, here's the perspective: Victorinox now owns Wenger, and from the Delemont factory Victorinox is producing some of Wenger's designs with a few Victorinox twists. Seems then that this facility will be making even higher quality and function items than the traditional Victorinox Swiss Army Knife line up. Specifically, the RangerGrip 57 is a hunting/trekking/camping knife... a big one... a good one. Now this model competes with several others, and which one is 'best' is a personal decision. Let's start with the Victorinox Camper - a very pocketable 91mm (3-1/2") long model sporting spear blade, saw, awl, and corkscrew (dealing with knots) as the useful outdoors tools. The Vic Huntsman adds a 'carry hook' and scissors to the Camper. The 93mm Alox Farmer provides a more robust package with a bit sturdier spear blade and saw, and a much more useable awl/reamer - the Farmer is a pocketable favorite for outdoorsmen everywhere. Next up are the more modern, ergo-shaped nylon handled 111mm models, starting with the Trekker with a slide-locking even more robust spear blade, and longer, more effective saw, plus a locking large plain screwdriver/pry-tool. There are One Handed Trekker (OHT) models, but these have liner-locking serrated blades unless you find an OHT-NS (non-serrated) model. The Trekker replaces the corkscrew with a phillips - I'd rather have the corkscrew to help unravel things in the woods than the philips. The 111mm Hunter with its slide-locking spear blade also has a short gutting blade along with a combo can and bottle opener. The Hunter also has the Corkscrew tool. Many carry this as their hunting and bushcraft buddy; some just pocket it, others prefer using a belt-sheath The Victorinox Fireman is an even better execution than the Hunter, since it provides a long serrated seat-belt cutter opening from the same end as the main blade - this cutter is an equally more effective gutting tool than the short blade on the Hunter. The Fireman also includes the saw, liner-locking spear blade, awl, corkscrew, and liner-locking large plain screwdriver/pry-tool. Finally we come to this RangerGrip series. 130mm (over 5") of ergo-handled, well-finished pocketknife. The nylon handles have 'rubberized' grippy inserts for comfort and control, the larger body is hand filling. The finish is even better than that of Victorinox's standard products. The RangerGrip 79 (red with black) models are a step up to Vic's 111mm OHT-NS Trekker and a very big brother of their 91mm Camper; the RangerGrip 79 has a non-serrated blade with about 4" of cutting edge, an even larger, more effective saw, awl and Corkscrew tool. Finally, THIS RangerGrip 57 (and 58 with Philips instead of Corkscrew) adds a full-length, non-serrated gutting blade to the mix of this large Delemont series, and is an up-sized Vic Hunter in all ways. There are a few other RangerGrip models which are either more basic or are more specialized, some including fold out pliers of Multi Tool caliber or serious scissors/shears or mariner's tools. There are a few of the Wenger (rather than Victorinox branded) versions of RangerGrip models still available, too. The Wenger heritage seems to be "make it even better suited", and the Victorinox branded Delemont models carry that forward, the 130mm RangerGrip models being serious and effective folding knife multi-tools for those venturing in the outdoors. Hard to say which of the Delemont models, large and small, will remain in the Victorinox line up. If you're considering one of these large RangerGrip models, I'd suggest getting while their available... in my mind some Delemont 130mm models are too much competition for Vic's 111mm 'equivalents'. Of course 130mm is large. But in the woods that larger saw and those plain edged blades are very welcome, even if needing to ride in the pack or pouch instead of the pocket like the 93mm Alox Farmer.

Superb knife, love the re-thought design, and the quality is still there - sharp as hell!

Anything from Victorinox is quality! Another fine knife to add to the collection!

This Swiss Army knife is outstanding! The knife came razor sharp and has been useful, daily. I haven't needed to use any of the other implements, yet, but, I have no doubt that the other implements are just as good as the knife itself.

Exactamente lo que pedi. El Rangergrip 57 Hunter vitorinox es una excelente navaja suiza. Fabricada para durar, hecha de buen acero, muy bien diseñada. Un clasico que no debe faltar en el bolsillo de cualquier persona que quiere estar preparado para salir el campo como para una parrillada, un viaje en automovil o abrir un paquete. Asi como actividades domesticas o profesionales.

Excelente navaja muy bonita

Not great quality, disappointing performance! Have used twice in the field, primary blade is flimsy, and dull out of box. Missing tweezers, secondary blade has a small bend at the tip But the cutting saw works very well! Would not recommend as a field utility knife!

This is a very useful large version of a classic. Very sharp, very sturdy and very useful. You can't go wrong with this knife.

Sehr gute qualität Kann es nur empfehlen

Robusto versatile, un coltello da avere in escursione con il quale poter fare tutti i lavori necessari. Non è tascabile come la serie 91mm, ma si può portare comodamente in una tasca dello zaino e usarlo all'occorrenza.

Nie polecam zakupu. Fatalne zapakowanie zamówienia. Do koperty wrzucone 2 scyzoryki evogrip i rangergrip bez folii bombelkowej która zabezpieczyłaby towar. W wyniku tego podczas transportu scyzoryki wysunęły się z okapowań i latały luzem. Przy takiej cenie zakupu ktoś powinien choć trochę się postarać. Ogólnie nie polecam zakupu z tego linku/źródła! Porażka!

Excellent couteau, sa taille est certes supérieure à ce qu'on trouve mais cela ne me semble pas gênant comparativement à d'autres Ranger Grip moins équipés (j'en ai quelques autres). Je précise que j'ai des mains de taille moyenne pour un homme (gants taille 9). Personnellement, je trouve les RangerGrip sans lame de scie (52 ou 61) trop minces pour la prise en main, je préfère de ce strict point de vue les modèles intermédiaires (55 ou 78 par exemple) Peut-être un peu lourd pour une poche de jean, ce RangerGrip 57 Hunter est imperceptible dans une veste ou un sac de rando. L'équipement est formidable, la lame principale qui s'ouvre facilement d'une main est très solide, comme la scie, ces deux outils sont les plus robustes qu'on puisse trouver sur un couteau suisse. La lame secondaire qui est courbe est un vrai plus, elle n'est pas verrouillable, ni aiguisée à son extrémité (sans doute pour des raisons de sécurité), mais ce dernier point n'est pas difficile à modifier. Le RangerGrip 57 est moins outillé qu'un modèle plus petit en 111mm, comme le WorkChamp, mais la solidité et la taille de de la lame et de la scie font la différence pour moi. Deux micro regrets : 1/ L'emballage de Victorinox n'est pas satisfaisant pour la vente à distance, les couteaux arrivent toujours hors de leur emballage qui ne résiste jamais pour un couteau de 200 g. 2/ Il n'est pas possible de choisir la couleur des plaquettes (à une époque, il y avait des RangerGrip à plaquettes vertes), dommage. Pour finir, je suis très heureux de mon achat, j'en ai acheté un second pour offrir.

Um item de coleção. Um espetáculo de canivete. A marca dispensa comentários.
