2012 Texas Ranger, Texas Hunter
Well, during my visit to Arkansas last week I picked up the 2012 Texas Ranger. I know that there were some production problems with this one (I've seen the bad ones at the AGR facility) but they were all picked out and this one shows none of the flaws that some of the bad ones showed. (A.G. and Phil (Gibbs) were quite vexed at the misstakes that were made in some of them).
I'll write a more elaborate discription in the "Sharper review" group later. For now. Here's some pictures to enjoy.
I'm not sure whether this one is going to get any useage from me.
Some part about me doesn't mind having a couple of knives purely for collecting though. The TR knives seem to fall into this category nicely. Very nice knives, excellent build and unique design combined with limited production numbers make this somewhat collectable to me.
Maybe I'll strap them on my belt somedays though. I know I have with my 2010 version (the sheath is showing the signs).
I'm also very excited about the 2013 version...which I've seen some plans for....but I'm not telling

This looks to be a redesign of the knife that incorporates that bigger wider blade. Seeing as that is gaining in poularity maybe it will sell out faster due to demand for that type of blade? Well, only time will tell and I guess we will see the final configuration here pretty soon along with the price.

What I am trying to find out is "each year they make the Texas Ranger and then make the same knife without the Texas logo. So when will the 2012 and 2013, plain versions come out?"

Don't know Robert. The 2010 sunfish "regular" model came out in 2011 I believe. (might have been early 2012). So that means the 2012 civilian version might be out around 2013-14?
