Victorinox Ranger Grip 79 Swiss Army Knife Large, Multi Tool, 12 Functions, Locking Blade, One Hand, Red/Black

I’m a bit of a sucker for a Swiss Army knife, couldn’t resist a one handed option for days/nights out in the woods. The handle is contoured for better grip, I’ve never had a problem with grip with any SAK but that’s ok. The black panels offer a slight improvement in traction, and given the size/nature of the knife it’s probably a good idea. Main blade is as sharp as any SAK, meaning really sharp. Easily deployed with one hand, unlocking mechanism is not going to action accidentally, no matter how clumsy you you are, and the way it is used makes it very difficult to catch a finger whilst closing it. The saw has double row teeth and is of a decent length given the size of the overall tool. Cuts well, up to about 2” quite easily. Bottle opener/ can opener are a good size and are well designed. The awl is well positioned, sharp and has good retention. Tweezers and toothpick included. Does anyone really need a corkscrew on a pocket knife? The tool is quite large, me not sure I’d want it knocking around in my pocket, but a great knife to put in your backpack for when you need it

As someone who has only ever purchased the small or medium SAKs, I could immediately feel the size difference in this large model. The grip is brilliant, as is the toolset. I've owned the Manager, the Mini Champ, a pair of Victoria kitchen scissors, as well as a Compact, Fieldmaster and a Hiker and never felt disappointed by any of them. Always sharp, and always useful. The Manager lived in my pocket everyday and I've recently upgraded that to the Mini Champ.

Nice and well made. Perfect for bushscrafting. (Be aware is not UK legal carry due its size and locking blade.) Fast delivery. Highly recommend. Thank you.

This is an excellent allround outdoor knife benefiting a locking blade and a very usable saw. Blade came sharp and is a very workable profile. Well finished and solid, the blade when open has a tiny bit of vertical play however it is common in all large framed Rangers and nothing to worry about.

Bought this to replace one I had for many years. Forgot to take it out of my hand luggage so had it confiscated. Larger than usual blade locks so is much safer to use for bigger tasks. Saw blade also very useful. Hope I can keep this one safe as it won’t wear out. There is a knack to opening it one handed. Hold the knife and flick out the case. Works a treat.

A solid feeling knife with decent lockable main and very sharp blade length - ideal for bush/forestry activities. The saw is a good size too allowing bolder cuts to be undertaken. The black pads are rubberised for grip purposes. The shape makes It feel natural and comfortable to hold, however the red plastic casing does feel a little light and less strong. I dont think its solid plastic which would explain why. This is a cosmetic observation, so far it hasnt affected its function though. What would i change? Well it would have to be replace the plastic casing with a solid / moulded form.

I've always had a troubled relationship with victorinox after my old slipjoint SAK nearly sliced my whole fingertip off when I was younger because it snapped shut on me, don't get me wrong it was my fault, I wasn't experienced enough to know how to use a slipjoint safely back then, however it's always left me disliking victorinox for no good reason really. This though is a liner lock, I bought it for jobs around the house and garden and maybe if I can ever get out adventuring again (Probably not 😁).And I have to say, so far, it has completely restored my faith in victorinox superb quality workhorse as anyone who's seen, "Felix Immler," on YouTube make a pair of skis from logs, using only this exact tool will know.Very impressed, but just be mindful if you live here in the UK, this is a largeish lock knife and therefore Illegal to carry in public places without good reason, and of course completely illegal in certain places, courts, airports etc (check your laws).But around your own property or somewhere you have permission for, or with the aforementioned good reason, brilliant tool and very high quality.

Brilliant one handed locking blade knife with a few extra tools. I previously only had the sentinel clip with just a blade and wanted a little more versatility. This works great for that.
