Wenger Mike Horn Ranger Knife

Made for a Man Who Knows No Limits

By Ben Bowers on 4.30.10

The first question you might have about this knife is who the hell is Mike Horn? In a nutshell, Mike Horn is a certified badass from South Africa. The second question you might have is, what certifies Mike Horn as a badass?

Well for starters Mike Horn has completed an 18-month man-powered circumnavigation of the world around the equator, a 2,000km/27-month solo circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle without a dog sled or motorized form of transportation, and a 6-month solo crossing of the South American continent from the Pacific to the Atlantic swimming the entire length of the Amazon. No joke.

That’s why Wenger developed this knife in conjunction with this world renowned explorer, because they figured if anyone knew what the tools were that everyman should have on him at all times, it would be him.

Featuring 16 different functions, most of which are designed to easily open with one hand, even with gloves, it may not be the sexiest multi-tool we’ve seen, but we have no doubt that it can get the job done. For sizing purposes, you should note that the knife’s two main blades are nearly four inches long. Other distinctive touches worth commenting on include the device’s handle made from recyclable materials and wood, along with the removable Phillips and flat-head screw driver bits which lock into the handle for leverage. To check out the exact tools included and features, read on and open the full specifications.

The Mike Horn knife includes a large range of tools such as a combination metal saw/file, and a reamer which enables him to punch holes through wood. Mike also requested that the knife be fitted with two different blades (a standard blade, and a serrated edge blade with blunt tip) which were easy to open, even with gloves or a single hand. The 100% foldable needle nose pliers enable him to work precisely while saving energy thanks to the lever arm mechanism. During his expedition, Mike Horn needs to trust his tools, which must satisfy his specific needs and environmental concerns. Mike challenged Wenger to meets these needs by developing innovative solutions. That is why Wenger has created 100% recyclable handles. Partly made of wood, the handles are as solid as they are environmental-friendly. Comes in a very nice presentation box, making it a fantastic gift for the outdoorsman in your life. Includes high quality belt case. 16 Functions * 50 mm Screwbits - Flat (6 x 45 mm) * Can opener * Key-ring * Metal file - Metal cutting saw * Needle nose pliers / Wire-cutter / Nut wrench * Reamer - Needle - Cuticle pen * Single hand opening blade * Single hand opening serrated blade * Swiss cross - safety lock system (patented)
