Forest Ranger | Elk Ridge – Reliable pocket knife for everyday use

The Elk Ridge Forest Ranger is a robust pocket knife with a practical drop point shape. With its blade length of 8.4 cm, this knife is perfect for EDC (everyday carry) or as an addition to your outdoor gear. The striking orange accent on the handle makes this knife not only functional but also easy to find in your backpack or toolbox.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip, we tested this pocket knife for cutting rope and preparing food. What stood out most was the sturdy backlock mechanism that keeps the blade securely in place, even during heavier cutting tasks in cold conditions.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The blade is made from 3Cr13 stainless steel, a good entry-level choice that is easy to maintain. This material retains its sharpness reasonably well and is easy to resharpen. Perfect for cutting rope, food, and light wood. The satin finish on the blade gives the knife a neat, professional appearance.

Grip and ease of use

The handle combines different materials for an ergonomic grip. The backlock mechanism is easy to operate with one hand. Thanks to the drop point blade shape, you have good control for precision work. The knife features a plain-edge cutting edge for versatile use.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This is an ideal entry-level model for novice knife enthusiasts or those looking for a reliable EDC knife without paying a premium. Also suitable for campers who want an affordable yet solid outdoor knife for general tasks during their adventures.

Maintenance and durability

Thanks to the 3Cr13 stainless steel, maintenance is simple: a quick rinse and dry is usually sufficient. For optimal performance, we recommend regular sharpening and occasionally applying a drop of oil to the hinge. The satin finish is less prone to fingerprints than a high-gloss finish.
