Tried and True

When looking back at the history of pocket knives, no one can argue the significance of the classic slipjoint. An industry staple and, for many people, the gateway to higher-end knives, a slipjoint transports you back to a time when simplicity and reliability were paramount. We've been friends with Jared Oeser for a while and, when it finally came time to collaborate on a design, he came through with an atypical, complex pivot and dash of modern design. After Jared made the first prototype he showed to his neighbor and good friend who is an Army Ranger, hence the name.

Ready for the Frontier

A knife is a knife is a knife but the Ranger has a soul that embraces adventure and exploration. The timeless design will make it an heirloom-grade piece in your collection and will fight its way in to your pocket more than you think. Whatever life throws at you, slipjoints have decades of proof that they are a more than capable companion.

Classic Design Meets Modern Production

With our manufacturing style and small batch work flow, the Ranger blurs the lines of a production and custom slipjoint. Before a Ranger is ready to sell we assemble each knife, and hand grind the blade, backspring, and handles to provide a seamless fit. Then, they are disassembled and marked so the handles can be finished and paired back up to the same components from the original fit.

Based on a custom knife Jared sent over, we were able to dial in the pull to a nice 6-7 and create a perfect walk and talk.

Designed by

Jared Oeser

Most of our first memories with knives are with our grandparents or fathers and the slipjoints they carried every day. This foundational image was what drew Jared to design and make some the best slipjoint knives in the world. Starting off in a 10-20 garage shop, he quickly forged a name for himself as a custom knife maker known for expert-level execution and industry-leading designs.
