Ranger Scout | Bushmaster

Ranger Scout | Bushmaster – versatile pocket knife for outdoor adventures

The Ranger Scout | Bushmaster is a classic pocket knife that is perfect for EDC, camping, and bushcraft. With its robust drop point blade made of carbon steel and traditional design with multiple tools, this is a reliable companion. The black, non-reflective coating on the blade gives it a rugged appearance.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, we thoroughly tested this pocket knife. The wooden handle feels comfortable in the hand, even in wet conditions. Opening via the nail nick requires two hands, but this suits the traditional character of this knife.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The carbon steel holds its edge excellently and is easy to resharpen. The drop point shape with plain-edge grind makes the knife versatile for rope, wood, and food. Please note: carbon steel is not stainless, so regular maintenance is needed to keep the black coating in good condition.

Grip and ease of use

The wooden handle scales with brass pins provide a warm, natural grip. The opening mechanism is a classic nail nick without a lock. This means you need both hands to open the knife – a deliberate choice for a traditional pocket knife.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate traditional craftsmanship. With extra tools such as a can opener, screwdriver, and awl, it is perfect for campers and bushcrafters. For quick EDC tasks where one-handed opening is important, there are better options.

Maintenance and durability

The carbon steel requires attention: dry the knife after use and oil it regularly to prevent rust. The black coating offers some protection, but is not fully rust-resistant. You can treat the wooden handle with linseed oil for long-lasting protection.
