I agree, bld. I think the rangers excel at all knife-related tasks. I find that my RD7 will split wood faster and easier when batoning that any other knife I own, and it chops and cuts well. The tip prying in the test was also quite impressive (I had been worried about the tip, but not any more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

I'm not planning to sell though: its a hard user for me!
