SOG NW Ranger: "Size Matters" by Nutnfancy
This video review by Nutnfancy focuses on the SOG NW Ranger knife, highlighting its suitability for soldiers and as a lightweight camp/survival knife. The reviewer praises the AUS8 steel blade, its full flat grind, jimping, and sharpness. He notes improvements over older AUS6 models and discusses the merits of both blackened and satin finishes. The handle comfort and the crossguard's design for finger protection are also commended. A significant point of critique is the disappointing leather sheath, which is difficult to attach to LBE, slow to extract from, and prone to staying wet. The reviewer expresses a desire for a Kydex or plastic sheath option, similar to their Seal Pup Elite knives. Despite the sheath issue, the knife is highly recommended for its amazing value, especially for survival, camp, and utility purposes. The reviewer gives it a high likability score, with a caveat for the sheath.
