Scales
The 'New Ranger' models featured Nylon Evolution scales, contoured to fit the hand, and usually in black. The first, and most common, Evo scales featured deep checkering molded into the thumb area on both sides (main photo). One side carried the Wenger cross logo, along with 'WENGER' molded into the scales. The logo is a push button, which, when depressed, releases the liner lock on the knife blade.
The RangerGrip models feature rubber inlays within the contours, to help with retention under a wide range of conditions.

History
Wenger introduced a wide variety of 130mm 'New Ranger' models in 2007. 'Evolution' contoured grip panels and a push-button lock release distinguished them from the previous 120mm Ranger series.
The RangerGrip 75 was released in the spring of 2009. This new series of models was shown at the SHOT Show a few months earlier.
