High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Tactile Ranger Titanium & Micarta is a refined fusion of classic styling and modern materials, built with the kind of craftsmanship that turns a great knife into a trusted companion. Proudly made in the USA, this folding knife blends traditional design cues with cutting-edge performance, resulting in a piece that’s equally at home in your pocket, at your workbench, or out in the field.
At its core is a 3.15” clip point blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a steel that’s taken the knife world by storm for good reason. With excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, MagnaCut is perfectly suited for a blade you’ll rely on every day. The clip point profile is time-tested for versatility—ideal for slicing, piercing, and precision work. A stonewash finish adds a rugged, lived-in look that handles wear with ease, helping the blade age gracefully over time.
Opening is accomplished via a subtle nail nick, reinforcing the knife’s vintage character while keeping the design clean and minimalist. It’s a manual folder through and through—quiet, reliable, and built for those who appreciate a knife with soul and simplicity. There’s no flash or unnecessary features here—just precision mechanics and a dedication to quality in every detail.
What really sets the Ranger apart is its stunning handle construction. The frame is crafted from solid titanium, offering strength without excess weight, and it's perfectly paired with rich Vintage Micarta inlays. This natural material not only adds a warm, textured grip but also develops a unique patina with use, making each knife one-of-a-kind. The blend of titanium and micarta offers both function and form—tough where it counts, comfortable in the hand, and unmistakably handsome.
At 4” closed and 7.3” overall when open, the Ranger hits that sweet spot of everyday portability and work-ready capability. With a blade thickness of .15” and a weight of 3.49 ounces, it feels substantial without being heavy, delivering balance and confidence with every cut. Whether it’s in your pocket for daily tasks or slipped into your pack for a weekend outdoors, the Ranger is ready to go wherever you do.
A clean, low-profile design means no pocket clip, giving the knife a traditional carry feel and an elegant profile. It’s a nod to the heritage of slipjoints and back-pocket folders, reimagined with the materials and tolerances of a modern precision tool.
