Ontario Ranger Falcon Overview

[ddran]

Couldnt find any good info/pics of this knife online so I bought it and posting an overview not a review because I havent used it.

The plastic insert is tight and pulls out with the knife. You have to hold it when pulling out(thats what she said)

Blade came pretty dull, and with rubbing from the plastic insert on the blade.

1/4 inch thick

I have small hands and this handle barely fits my hand. Its also awkward feeling to hold it.

choil is small but workable

Thickness comparison: Fallkniven S1, Ranger Falcon, Ontario Rat 1 folder, Mora clipper

Knife weight is 10.2 oz not 5.58 oz as listed on websites. I love the heavy weight in such a short knife, just something cool to have.

14.4 oz with the sheath

4 3/16 inch blade length

Overall length 8 1/8 inches

Even with its shortcomings I love this knife and plan on abusing it like a redheaded stepchild

I have had one since spring..The sheath is crap but I picked up a nice kydex for it. Plus +.. it sharpens like a razor and with the 1/4 blade it still digs deep into wood. Handle is small but you come to like it after awhile.. and it has a big fat belly good solid blade and I would say from the price point of $50 to $65 dollars you really can't go wrong with this blade.

I agree cant go wrong with it, I like this knife alot. It was also very easy to sharpen.
Where did you get a kydex sheath for it?

The next knife I get will be this one or the Rat 5, cant decide.

whats the width on the blade? I cant find that info anywhere. all the websites only say the length and the thickness

Scales look like they are meant to be customized. Need to get one of these to keep in my truck.

So i just won the falcon on ebay for $50 used. It comes with the original sheath and a kydex. anybody know who makes this sheath??

I never handled the knife and this review is pretty much the only one I could find that influenced me to buy it. So thanks for the post. And I hope I like it. For the price I think i will be satisfied.

With that heft and length, I would welcome a lanyard hole.
