McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG – 3.7" Stonewashed MagnaCut Fixed Blade Knife
The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG is a hard-use USA-made fixed blade knife built around a 3.7" stonewashed CPM MagnaCut drop point blade and an OD green G10 handle. Designed by Jonathan McNees — a former Marine, lifelong hunter, and knifemaker since 2008 — the FX Ridge Runner pairs a high, thin flat grind with .125" blade stock for a knife that slices cleanly but still takes real field abuse. It ships with a Kydex sheath and Tek-Lok for multi-position carry. Going Gear is an authorized dealer.
Shoppers searching for a MagnaCut fixed blade, an EDC hunting knife, or a G10-handled bushcraft knife will find the FX Ridge Runner covers all three roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the blade length of the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG?
The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG has a 3.7" blade with an 8.195" overall length. That puts the FX Ridge Runner in the sweet spot for a do-everything outdoor fixed blade — long enough for camp and game processing, short enough to carry comfortably on a belt.
Is MagnaCut good knife steel?
Yes. The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG uses CPM MagnaCut, a modern powder stainless steel engineered to deliver high toughness, strong edge retention, and genuine stainless corrosion resistance at the same time — a combination older steels had to trade off. Hardened to 63–64 HRC on the FX Ridge Runner, it holds a working edge through hard field use.
What handle material does the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG have?
The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG features contoured OD green G10 scales. G10 is a fiberglass laminate that stays grippy when wet and shrugs off moisture and solvents, and the contouring on the FX Ridge Runner is shaped to reduce hot spots during long cutting sessions. The scales can be swapped for other Ridge Runner colors and materials.
What is a drop point blade?
A drop point blade, as found on the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG, has a spine that curves gently down to meet the edge at the tip. It creates a strong, controllable point with a generous belly — the reason drop points are the default choice for hunting and general outdoor knives.
Does the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG come with a sheath?
Yes. The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG includes a molded Kydex sheath with a Tek-Lok attachment, giving positive retention and multi-position belt carry so you can set it up for horizontal, vertical, or scout carry.
Is the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG a full tang knife?
Yes — the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG is a full tang fixed blade, with the MagnaCut steel running the length of the handle beneath the G10 scales for maximum strength under hard use.
How do you sharpen the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG?
The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG's high, thin flat grind sharpens well on diamond or ceramic stones. Because MagnaCut is a wear-resistant powder steel, diamond abrasives cut it fastest; maintain the factory edge angle and finish with light stropping to keep the FX Ridge Runner shaving sharp.
Where can I buy the McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG?
The McNees FX Ridge Runner FX-RIDGE-SW-A-ODG is available at Going Gear, an authorized dealer, with fast shipping and expert customer support.
