About the Rambler knife in general
Rambler knife is a great tool for a future user. Its fairly large size (260 mm in total), does not give the impression of exaggeration when held in the hand. Its weight is really accurate and does not tire the hand to much. Design of Rambler is highly polished. Attention is drawn to the handle very nicely and ergonomically designed, with a clear gripping line (recess in the handle), which will successfully fit a hand of both smaller and larger sizes. The recess in the handle on the one hand does not force the unnatural position of the fingers on the handle, and on the other hand prevents the knife from slipping out of the hand, even when cutting with a swing.
About the presented version of the Rambler knife
Elmax steel as the core of the knife construction
The presented Rambler is made of one piece of Elmax steel (chrome-vanadium-molybdenum powder steel). It is a full-tang knife, where the handle claddings are attached to the steel structure that runs along the entire length and width of the knife. Elmax is one of the few steels available on the market in the absolute top quality of materials used in the production of premium knives. Knives made of it are extremely resistant to overload, stay sharp for a long time and have excellent anti-corrosion properties.
The knife has been coated with a black DLC coating (Diamond Like Carbon coating with hardness ~90 HRC), which additionally strengthens the steel and improves anti-corrosion properties. The coating has anti-reflective properties.
Grind and blade shape for effective cutting
Rambler knife is made with a flat grind, and the blade is designed as a drop point. A blade with these features is very versatile to use. In the Rambler knife, the blade is quite wide (close to 4 cm), which makes it very durable also under higher overloads. On the back of the blade there is a jimpig, which makes it easier to press the blade of the knife to the material being cut. This element enables precise cuts, makes it easier to guide the cutting edge along the material and helps with cuts that require pressure.
Durable knife handle
The slim, shapely oval of the handle fits very well and lies securely in the hand, its gentle contouring helps to prevent the hand from slipping to the cutting edge. The rounded back protruding from each side of the handle makes holding the knife comfortable and secure.
The ergonomic, revised shape of the handle is made of a very strong G10 materal. G10 is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents and acids, has a high resistance to mechanical damage. In the presented knife the cover material has a rough pattern to prevent the handle from slipping in the hand. The handle covers have been screwed with steel screws.
At the end of the knife handle there is a hole for attaching an additional wire, which can serve as a protection against dropping the knife during operation, or an additional gripper to facilitate the removal of the knife from the holster. Originally, it includes a paracord section with a shade matching the design.
Kydex holster and various carrying options
The knife has a holster made of hand-formed kydex material, which is characterized by high impact and scratch resistance, characterized by low moisture absorption, resistant to various weather conditions and many chemicals.
The holster can be carried in several ways. We attach it to the belt with a webbing grommet made of durable nylon. Mounting on a belt, but also on MOLLE solutions is ensured by an optional Kydex buckle added to the set*. The holster is equipped with through holes that can be used optionally to attach the set to a backpack or a tactical harness element with a rope, string or paracord. Of course, you can use a supply of paracord with which the holster is wrapped (its color corresponds to the section next to the knife).
* The buckle designed by the knifemaker is compatible with MOLLE solutions. The cbuckle is installed by disassembling the module with the nylon grommet beforehand.
