Rangermade Knife & Tool OBJ-1 - Striped Titanium - Drop Point S35VN Blade #018

OBJ is a military acronym meaning “Objective”. It is pronounced O-B-J. This framelock model, the “OBJ-1”, represents a long-term objective of mine. For twelve years, I have made even more elaborate and therefore increasingly expensive handmade knives. Though I find great satisfaction producing custom knives, I don’t love the wait lists and long lead times to put a knife in a customer’s hands. It has long been a goal of mine to produce a line of “Mid-Tech” knives that allow me to get more knives to more customers at a less exclusive price point. The OBJ-1 is the first model from Rangermade Knife & Tool to fill that niche.

There are certainly varying degrees of “Mid-Tech” in the knife world, and I feel that these strike a fine balance between CNC machined components and the hand work that gives a knife a personality. Every component of the OBJ-1 was designed and produced in-house at my new shop in Westcliffe, Colorado. All blades are hand ground; all components are hand matched and deburred and all finishes are hand applied. The locks and detents are hand fit as well.
