DRB Scout Knife RL

The Danger Ranger Bear Scout Knife Reloaded. Our highly popular DRB Scout Knife returns with an updated tool selection making it more useful for backcountry and EDC than ever before. Each knife features select stag scales and every knife will have its own distinct appearance by virtue of its natural handle materials. Other exclusive features to our scout knife are the upgraded blade steel of the main blade to Swedish Damasteel RWL34™ (comparable to CPM154) and the replacement of the classic corkscrew with a far more useful Phillips driver.
  • Overview
    Our newest DRB Scout Knife RL features a total of 8 tools, making this one versatile and capable multi-bladed slipjoint. The addition of the wood saw makes this knife more bushcrafty in usability, and it even features a hobo fork for you know, just in case you want to eat that corned beef or baked beans once you've opened the can.
    After the closure of the Pennsylvanian knife making facility who made our first scout knives, it took a few years PDW to find a worthy new partner. We are now working with Italian knife manufacturer Mercury Srl, based in historic Maniago ("City of Knives"), Italy.

8 Tools
9 Functions

Our newest DRB Scout Knife RL features a total of 8 tools and 9 functions, making this one versatile and capable multi-bladed slipjoint. 

Modern
Classic

The genuine hand select stag handle scales are a heritage touchstone to a past era before the ubiquitous use of plastics, or resin/epoxies laminates. There's not a single piece of plastic in this knife, just steel and bone. The main blade features our classic Danger Ranger Bear graphic etched on to the surface.

Phillips Driver
Not Corkscrew

We also made the useful upgrade of adding a Phillips driver in place of the corkscrew. Would you rather use your scout knife to open a bottle of wine, or use a Phillips driver to tighten or loosen a screw? Yeah, we thought so, the latter is far more useful on a day to day basis.

Hobo Fork

The DRB Scout Knife RL even features a hobo fork for you know, just in case you want to eat that corned beef or baked beans once you've opened the can. Could be used to roast a marshmallow for s'mores in an emergency.

Made in
Italy

Look for the DRB logo on exclusive products in the PDW website to purchase, use or wear and show off that you’re no longer an ignorant, doughy tenderfoot. Take the moose by the horns (actually a really terrible idea, DRB does not suggest that you do this but it was a play on another ol’ idiom), turn that hipster beard into mountainman scruff, lace up those hiking boots, hit the trail, walk as tall as Paul Bunyan, tune in with nature like John Muir, and be rough and ready as Jeremiah Johnson. #dangerrangerbear

Cool, old school knife

Love this for bushcraft and all other camping. Very high quality. Only suggestion would be to make the awl a little sharper to use as a ferro rod scraper. Very nice piece of kit

Very nice.

Overall a very well built knife. All junctions including the back springs are level and consistent. Spring pressure is level along all tools. The blade’s grinds are even, including the edge. The scissors use easy-to-find Victorinox type spring. Only issue, and a minor one due to the handle material: two of the handle rivet heads are a bit sharp where the head meets the handle. Overall, an excellent, usable piece of gear.

Nailed it.

This arrived {as has every official/semi-official Boy Scout Knife(TM)(C) I've ever had} a little gritty, and tight enough to rip off my weak-a$$ fingernails. A couple drops of Tuf-Glide and a bit of spring-workout later, I decided it would go with me to Big South Fork NRRA for a few days last weekend, and I didn't regret it. Least of all, I hadn't been out in a while, and had forgotten a few useful things. Just like its spiritual forebears (pun intended), this knife offered a solution every time I realized what it was I needed but had forgotten to bring along. Nice work, guys & gals of PDW!

Love this knife

PDW did great work with this knife. Construction on it is top notch and it is a great companion. It is larger and beefier than a regular SAK but the fact that the knife fills the hand better and is beefier is a good trade off. Replacing the corkscrew with a Phillips driver is also a great tradeoff. I've already used it multiple times around the house and it is handy to have on you. The stag scales make for a very sheeple friendly tool. No one will panic if you use this. My daughter thinks the fork is cool, but I've not opportunity to use it yet. Key word is yet. This is a purchase you'll be glad you made. Carry it with an Invictus or STS and you'll be ready for most of what the day might throw at you.
