This may be a totally dumb question, but can someone tell me what exactly the difference is in these two knives besides the handle? I mean, there has to be something else for a 50 dollar difference, right?

Oh, and while I'm at it, opinions? Thanks!

P.S: If there is a ontario specific section under some other name, sorry and feel free to move mods.
 
That might just be the difference between Micarta and G-10. That's the only thing I could tell was different, but I've never owned or even seen either of these knives so take that for what it's worth.

Hope this helps!
 
The Rangers are finished well and there's a HUGE cost difference with handle materials. I picked up a shank with 550 chord wrap for 30 bucks.
 
Only difference is the handle as far as I know.
There can definitely be a difference in price between handle materials, but I believe G-10 is generally more expensive than black canvas micarta.

There is a significant difference in the price of different variations of several Ontario models on that site. The difference is not always consistent with handle material or blade type. I've found the pricing to be somewhat random (in a good way) at times. A while ago I scored an RTAKII for $59 bucks. If you don't mind the color difference, I'd go with the orange G-10 and save $50.

Crazyotter, I think that's actually a good question - I just don't see any apparent reason for a $50.00 price difference between those knives.
 
I am pretty sure that the OM one is mistakenly priced. The two knives are the same except the handle color.
 
G10 is usually always higher priced than micarta. Can't figure out why the micarta is $50.00 more.
 
I have noticed that same deal with other items from that retailer ,Mostly this works to my advantage I hope it works for yours also.
 
Ok, awesome and ty guys for all the replies. I guess I'm going with the orange g10 handle (not that its a prob, I love orange). :thumbup: Ty.
