Well, this news has been up over on Justin's forum for a few days now, so anyone who might wonder about how this will change Ranger knives should check out the forum. I'm just glad that I was able to get a "custom" Afghan knife from Justin. I am now jealous that of all people, my sister has an RD9 and an RD4 (both gifts from my brother and I for two Christmases). On the up note, Justin will have time to do more customs, which I like because that is what makes buying knives from Justin so great! He can do whatever you want and do it at a relatively affordable price. I'm just hoping that Ontario keeps the quality of Ranger knives high and doesn't jack up the price.
