Tactile Knife Company Ranger Slip Joint Magnacut Folding Knife [20-RAW-MC01-TTDW]

Jared Oeser’s contemporary take on the classic slip joint

Jared Oeser’s Ranger brings a Bowie-style blade and a more elaborate pivot to a traditional backspring knife. Tactile traces the name to Oeser showing his prototype to a friend who was an Army Ranger, rather than presenting the retail knife as issued military equipment.

Titanium scales, a separate handle shield and the shaped blade give it a different visual character from the much thinner Bexar. It remains a non-locking slip joint: the backspring provides resistance, not the positive engagement of a liner or crossbar lock.

Handle construction

Micarta combines layers of fiber and resin. Its texture and appearance can change with handling, giving it a different surface character from smooth metal or molded plastic.
