- There are several good reviews about the Victorinox Ranger Grip 79.
This is my opinion and observations after several years of use.
I do show some of the applications of the tool.
I paid $46 four years ago.
The current online price is $52
Is this money well spent?
Great review. These knives are so well made - this pretty much looks new after 4 years! Thanks.
i have my own little huntsmen sak my dad bought me and i love it! i treat it as a tool, not a toy, its very good and has a lot of practical uses, its perfect.
Nice video, really nice how you actually show yourself using it so we really get an idea of it's capabilities!
I just got one for my birthday can't wait !

I never go camping without my 79. It does such a great job at so many camp tasks that I can't imagine being without it in the woods. I've never used the corkscrew because I don't drink wine (although some of my friends do) and I don't tie knots that I can't untie, except in fishing line.I really don't miss the Phillips driver because I EDC a Tinker or Super Tinker. There may be a better camp knife out there, but I haven't found it yet and doubt I ever will.
Nice review, good Sir. By the way, if you are out in the field and you need a bigger hole than the awl actually is, you begin right so to drill the hole with the awl, and then you open the saw and drill it in that hole, until the diameter suits. That goes to the whole diameter of the saw, wich is about half of an inch.
My wife is giving me the RangerGrip 78 for my birthday. I can’t wait.
I bought 2 of these in 2020 when they were on sale for about $54. I have the version with the screwdriver instead of corkscrew. The price has increased quite a bit since. I find that the Trekker and Forester M grip are a little more budget friendly and every bit as capable.
By the way, regarding the corkscrew, It can be used in conjunction with the Fireant system as an emergency fire starting aid. It consists of a tiny ferro rod and a chunk of tinder, both shaped to twist into the inside of the corkscrew! It is truly amazing, put out by Tortoise! Check them out.
I have a RangerGrip 79 I bought it over 2 years ago when it was on sale at my local Victorinox dealer for the equivalent of $30, about half the going price at the time. It was an impulse buy & apart from testing the blade on cutting open a few parcels & cutting up some cardboard boxes, I have not used it & am saving it as an Emergency situation knife.
Watched a person into picking up the roadkill in action with the old Wenger version and was impressed. There were no more Wengers by then so I picked up the Victorinox with the Philips.Cant remember how much it cost as I bought it with the leather sheath and the two together weren't cheap. TBH I'd stick with making your own sheaths, the tool is outstanding but couldn't imagine the Victorinox sheath taking much prolonged use, I use a leather sheath I had hanging around I bought in a sale.
Dude. Don’t sell your freshman leather efforts short. I’d wear either one of those. Especially and even more so if my buddy said “hey this is for your SHTF Altoids; I made it” And the sheath? I’d drop my Leatherman Wave or Buck 110 in there with zero concern about losing them. Those are both magnitudes finer pieces than generic nylon or cordura robo-crap from you know where. Lastly I’m about to cost you a few bucks: check out the Fenix Ruike M51. It’s a beauty with all the SAK features & scissors too.
I love the dog. Tool review is okay too.
Ich nutze das Ranger Grip 58 Hunter, habe es aber bei Victorinox auf die zwei Hand Klinge umbauen lassen. Wegen den verrückten Gesetze hier bei uns. Und auch die Grünen Griffschalen wurden montiert. Mit dem passenden Leder Holster. Ein sehr gutes Taschenmesser. Sehr schönes Video. Danke.
I have a Fieldmaster, I’m going to upgrade to this knife. I can’t think of a scenario where a knife can’t beat scissors for cutting things; also, I can live without the Phillips. The main reason is because the blade locks and opens with one hand. It’s slimmer, also illegal in NY because the blade is 3.9 inches long (limit is 3), but I don’t care. I feel like I could trust my life with the RangerGrip 79. I also realized that the saw on my knife is more of a gimmick. I was cutting branches the other day and it took a while because of how small the saw was.
just ordered it, the price is actually $79 brand new now! hoping it lives up to my expectations
Lifetime warranty too !
How and how often do you sharpen your blade?
