RANCH BOSS II

I think this is an excellent value for the money. I could see this knife being priced in a store closer to $50. The construction is solid and does not feel cheap. It is a large form pocket knife, but does come with a quality leather sheath if you want to carry it that way. I don’t use the sheath, I just drop it in my pocket. It has a weight that gives it a feel of authority. The liner lock is robust and there is no blade play or wiggle in any direction. The knife is screaming sharp. It has a lanyard hole you can attach a leather or paracord lanyard. The Delrin handle scales are well fit to the frame and will wear like iron without decay or degradation and will shake off oil, solvents, salt, etc… without staining. I paid $33.41 for the knife with the leather sheath, next day free shipping. What’s not to like? Recommended.

This is a great knife for EDC. It is well made and appears heavy duty. The blade is very sharp and nicely thick. The knife feels great in the hand and the lockup is absolute. That brings me to the only issue. That lock is tight. Disengaging it isn't easy, and there is a slight danger of closing it on your thumb. It should loosen up with use. The belt case is excellent. Nice leather and it rides perfect on the belt. This is a larger knife, which is fantastic. Everyone needs a real knife, and this sure appears to be it.

I am normally a buck 110 but wanted this ranch boss lol when I saw it. Since I have several cold steel knives. The knife is nice. The width is a little narrow for my hands but still a decent fit. The blade is sharp out of the box and the lock up is solid. One issue for me is the sheath. While the sheath itself is decent it is too big for the knife and the knife wobbles around while I walk. One solution for me is I had a fero rod that fits inside the sheath with the knife and no rattle. The back of the blade is 90 degrees and does work with the ferro rod. Overall no real problems and I believe I will be carrying the ranch boss for years to come.

Currently an unhinged value, I'm tempted to buy another "just in case" its that good (no way no how is this deal going to last going forward %50 of a Buck 110). Two things, I have not carried this heavy a folder in years the other being I doubt most of my day to day is not better with a lighter slicker solution with multi use. I lean to Swiss army style utility these days and for slicing a Opinel for the knife duties facing tough grisel when at the table. Some years back my Buck was stollen, while I had long since left it in a drawer from EDC in the 70's I did not like the gap in my on hand tools. Honestly this fits my hand far better than the Buck, quality is top notch and even includes a top notch belt sheath? It's stepping back into a time window when a dollar had a purchase value maybe 40 + years ago. Aesthetically I favour the Buck, brass and wood. This however is so well finished I would impartially pay more in raw utility and hand feel. Comparison photos are an Opinel No. 9 & vintage German Army Knife. This is a substantial folder, not delicate nor in any way a crap version of an old standard trying the typical budget look alike.

Excellent. Everything about it…excellent. Was surprised that it came w/a HD leather sheath. That was a nice surprise. Huge. Heavy. Happy. I love that liner-lock. Fat four-inch blade looks like ten-inch lol. Is coming bow-hunting w me in September. I will dress a doe where she falls w this fine AF folder!

Beast of a folder! The blade is thicker and almost longer than alot of fix blades and sharp! It's a little rough opening it but use it and oil it. It also comes with a "leather" sheath like the 110's do. It'll give the 110 a run for the money I think. I haven't tested it out but I've broken the tips of every buck 110 I and my Dad have had but anyways it seems like a solid work knife for sure cold steel hasn't disappointed me yet 👍

At first glance: It’s a low price for cold steel which I’ve been a loyal customer for years. I’ve abused my pocket bushman up and down as a Wildland firefighter and avid outdoorsman, so I thought I’d give the ranch boss a shot for casual carry around the farm which only seemed fitting per the name. I gave my first one away as a gift a couple months after purchase and purchased another for myself. Seems sturdy enough with the lock mechanism, the blade is heavy duty and I like a larger pocket knife with a thicker blade for a 7/11 gas station knife won’t fit my daily needs, looks slick like my grandpas Old Timer. One problem, less than a month later in my pocket …

Takes time to get used to the mixture of stiff back spring/liner lock, but after fidgeting with it for a feed days I can now use it one handed. Build is solid, quality control isn’t amazing,but still functions just fine. Blade will patina very quickly if not oiled can be a problem or con depending on who you are. Overall good beater knife to use on the land all day, but not too much money lost if missed placed
