Ranger Knives was founded in 2001 by former Army Ranger Justin Gingrich, who focused on production of large, durable fixed blades suitable for use by military personnel. Demand for his knives gradually exceeded his capacity to make them and he sold Ranger Knives to Ontario Knife Co. in 2008.
This Ranger RD-9 knife was made by Mr. Gingrich while he still owned the company. The knife measures 14-⅝ inches inches in overall length, weighs just under 20 oz. and features a black-coated, clip point blade measuring 9-⅝ inches long, 1-⅝ inches wide and ¼ inch thick. Per the original owner, the blade material is 5160 high carbon spring steel. The handle scales are brown Micarta and the black nylon sheath includes a plastic liner and a front pocket (see photos).
The knife is in very fine original condition with its original edge and all of its original finish with little or no signs of use or wear (see photos). The sheath is also in very fine original condition with little or no signs of use or wear (see photos).
Price: Asking $300, reasonable offers are welcome.
Shipping: The price includes shipping via USPS Ground Advantage anywhere in the continental US.
Payment: Payment may be made via Zelle, USPS money order or personal check as long as you're willing to wait for the check to clear before the item ships. Sorry, I no longer use PayPal.
