Lone Wolf Harsey T3 Ranger Tactical Knife

September 12, 2007

I wanted to take a look back at a classic tactical folder that still in production with a few beneficial changes.  The Harsey T3 Ranger knife was awarded the Field and Stream Best of the Best award in 2004 for its brilliant design by custom knife maker William Harsey.  Three years later, this knife is still being offered for sale by Lone Wolf Knives. 

The original was originally crafted as a field tactical knife or a big game knife.  The blade is a 4.8" drop point design made of premium grade S30V stainless steel.  Likewise for corrosion resistance the frame locking liner and clip were all made of stainless steel.  The handle is  made of a combination of nylon and black fiberglass, and has finger grooves artfully added to the handle to provide a grip in a wide range of field conditions.  Furthermore, the handle has been made with more than grip and comfort in mind; it is built expecting that it will be exposed to sand, dirt, and debris.  The back of the handle is open allowing these type of contaminants to be easily washed away, ensuring that harsh conditions will not certainly cause a failure to your knife when you need it the most.

And with regard to the changes made to this Ranger, the false edge has been removed to give the knife a blade more suited for hunting and other utilitarian purposes.  Make no mistake though, all of the character and feel that made the previous combat version a great success with the armed forces have been preserved in this Harsey designed tactical.  This tactical folder Model LC14800 retails for $299.99, and comes complete with a pocket clip, sheath, and lifetime warranty covering materials and workmanship.   This folding knife weighs in at a robust 8.4 ounces and has a closed length of 5.90 inches.  The Harsey Ranger is a continuation of the knifemaking excellence of William Harsey and Lone Wolf Knives, and this knife should continue to be popular with hunters and armed force personnel for years to come.
