"The Rambler was created so that it not only broadens the skills of a maker but also gives him and his family each a daily personal carry piece. It's not enough to just to know how to put together a folder, or hunter. A person should be able to work with all sorts of materials and styles. The Rambler handle will work with either paracord, wood, or one of the composite materials, such as Micarta®. My personal Rambler has a total handle thickness of 3/4 inch and has black Micarta for handles. But this model looks good dressed up as well."
The Rambler Knife Kit combines the design expertise of Master Bladesmith Jerry Fisk, premium materials, and exceptional craftsmanship in a high-end do-it-yourself knife project. Created by a National Living Treasure and one of the most respected names in custom knifemaking, the Rambler showcases Fisk's attention to balance, ergonomics, and practical everyday carry performance. Every detail of this design reflects a commitment to precision fit, clean lines, and functional excellence.
Measuring 11.60 inches overall with a 6.25 inch blade and a 6.0 inch cutting edge, the Rambler provides a substantial yet well-balanced platform for utility, outdoor, and everyday carry applications. The blade features an integral guard and a satin finish, while strategically placed skeletonization in the tang reduces weight and enhances balance without sacrificing strength. The result is a knife that feels lively in the hand while maintaining the durability required for real-world use.
Each Rambler blade is manufactured from premium 9Cr13CoMoV stainless steel, comparable to SUS440C, and is both heat treated and cryo-treated to achieve a hardness of 58–60 HRC. This combination delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall cutting performance. Builders will appreciate the precision-ground component parts, including two 0.120 inch handle pin holes positioned 3.0 inches center-to-center, as well as a 0.235 inch thong hole supplied with stainless steel tubing for additional customization options.
The Rambler is available in multiple configurations to suit different building preferences. The base kit includes the blade, precision-ground brass pinstock, and stainless steel thong tubing, allowing makers to select and shape their own handle materials. Complete combo kits include all of those components plus a matched set of premium hardwood handle scales.
Whether you're an experienced knife maker, a collector of Jerry Fisk designs, or someone looking to build a premium custom fixed blade, the Rambler Knife Kit provides an outstanding foundation for creating a functional heirloom-quality knife. Every kit arrives gift boxed and ready for your next workshop project.
