BUSH RANGER LITE

My boys are learning the value of independence and living in the woods, so of course they need a good knife. The problem with pocket knives are that they tend to go missing, so you really don’t want to gift a 12 yo a $300 pocket knife- but you can get a quality knife with this guy right here. It’s sharp out of the box (a safe knife is a sharp knife), there is a lock on the fold out blade, and there is the strong locking blade made to keep the knife blade open when you want it open (anyone ever had a blade on a cheap knife fall back on your fingers?!?). My son loves it, and I love it too. It’s a great size and an all around good blade for the things we are doing in our forest.

Finally, a knife that has a lockable blade with some size to it. Exactly what I’m looking for in a field knife. Especially when I’m hunting and I need to dress something out well done five stars. In my book, you either get one star or get five stars. The rest of the stars in the middle are for people that are confused.

Nice solid build. Good grip. A bit more bulky than most of my EDC knives but not a problem. No spring assist so it does take some effort to open and lock in place with the thumb stud. A little WD 40 helped. Sharpness of the blade was acceptable when it arrives but I would suggest putting in a little time and improving on it. My only gripe, and it's not the manufacturer's fault after all I knew what I was buying, is no liner lock. Every other EDC I have is a liner lock so I'm used to having one. Other than that the price and the quality is worthwhile.

Super sharp, super sturdy - great weight and design. I love the safety on the side that locks the blade open and closed. I have a ton of cold steel products and thank the knife gods that they make this affordable version. Buying 2 more as backups. I couldn't be happier. This is my heavy duty knife. I carry a tanto spring assisted TEK edc for self defense. I can't open this knife fast so it's in my cargo pocket for heavy work. I love the safety and feel of the knife. It's so so good.

So far I have beat the snot out of this guy and it's holding up like a champ. I've been trying to use it in normal, but tough tasks. Not outright trying to break it, but pushing it past what you would not ally use a folder for a it's hardly broken in.

I am an instant fan of this folder from Cold Steel, it's a deal at the low thirty's with a nice smooth action easy to work lock back and it has a lock for the blade in either position so you can work with it as you would a fixed blade. This is only my 3rd Cold Steel knife and I really like all of them. This company makes great working blades for those of us who don't want to spend a fortune on an EDC that is big, beautiful, and has the right stuff for getting the job done! This one is made from a cheaper steel but it came in razor sharp and ready to rock. My other two were both deals as well, the Recon 1 made from S35VN steel under 95 dollars, and the Voyager made from AUS10 under 52 dollars. I am now a believer in a company that puts out big blades that can do the work you buy them for.

Blade millimeter and thickness is fantastic The edge is good tempering isn't bad on this blade I do have negative things to say about the handle the plastic is cheap The blade on this knife deserves so much better locking mechanism should have been designed differently The blade outweighs the handle which is not ideal. But again the blade holds an edge and is tempered pretty well blade retention on the tip is strong doesn't bend easy. But I'm short varies from knife to knife. I just would have designed to handle with a better material and a better locking mechanism

I have always heard how good Cold Steel knives are so I got this one to check them out. This is pure junk. Cheap steel, Teflon washer and the blade wobbles. If you tighten it up then the blade is very hard to open. I paid less for a Petrified Fish brand name knife and it came with roller bearings and D2 steel and is very tight and solid. I am very disappointed with this knife. Save your money and get something different.
