If not for the pocket-murdering scales, looks like a great size for a hard-use work knife! Thanks for the look, JB! 👊
LOL....yeah, its a little rough!!!
A classic clip point, triad lock, and cold steel sharp out of the box sounds good to me. Great review JB 👍
For sure Jeremy!!
That is a tough beast. The plastic handles will explode before the lock fails. Love their stonewashed finish.
That very well might be true Jon!
Another really cool Cold steel to check out. Little different on the handle there. More Blue Creek is good with me. Thanks
Thanks as always KC
I’ve edc the Range Boss in Earth Tone for about year and it’s been fine. It lives clipped in my right pocket. I don’t have any issues with the clip except sometimes it’s hard to deploy the knife (pull out). I keep a small reflective land yard from CountyCom on the clip. The Earth Tone color is so good, it disappears if you drop it on the ground/dirt. The land yard helps me spot it quickly. SMKW had some type of Cold Steel sale, bought mine for $26(?) with a few other Cold Steel knives and received a free Cold Steel Kudu knife.
Glad you enjoy it!👍
Good looking Cold 🥶 Steel, appreciate the look 👍
You are awesome my friend!
Thank you JB! I was wondering about that one. With the clip would have to cand the stipple down to save the pocket.
Not a bad idea to do that David
Love Cold Steel thanks for showing us this one.
My pleasure as always Mike!!
Beast blade -- I checked out blue creek solid selection 👊💥💥
Yeah...Bryan is doing well in building his inventory
Been thinking about buying this knife for a long time. Thanks for the review big red .
Appreciate you taking a look PC!!
The Range Boss is a sweet knife Cold Steel tuff and on the slender side as far as Cold Steels thanks for sharing JB
Thanks Grim! Always appreciate you taking the time to comment
@@BigRedEDC My pleasure JB
Haven’t had the opportunity to check out a Cold Steel. Looks like a good work knife👍 Yeah, that clip looks tighhht!! 😬
LOL...yeah it sure it!!!
Probability does have to worry about this on slipping out of the pocket. Great knife for carrying while mowing the yard.
Oh its not going anywhere...lol!!
I have never been a huge cold steel guy but they look like decent users. Thanks JB
Oh they are solid Tim!! Thanks so much!!!
Cheers 🍻 to Blue Creek
Bryan is awesome!!👍👍💯💯💯
I got my range boss today and it came razor sharp using it to carve with today. A little big for detail cuts but good for processing wood for sure
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
Flat patch under the clip tip:
Cut out a piece from a decent gauge aluminum can and cut out the size and shape of your "spot" (Many cans are super thin and are less stable for this purpose). It won't be perfect but you can refine the cutout shape with smaller dremel bits then securely tape it to the scale in position (I've found making your cutout on a _larger_ piece, refining the cutout, then cutting down the piece to size allows you to work with it easier). Carefully remove material inside the cutout leaving desired shape and a clean edge. A little at a time produces best results.
Very cool Christoph! Thanks for sharing your method!!!
Great play on words BigRed
Lol....I try!!
Nice knife and review JB , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
Thanks Michael! Have a blessed day!!
Another biggie!! lol Thanks JB!
Overall length is for sure!!
That’s one beefy clip point!! Pocket sword! I really need to try a cold steel. Enjoyed your look brother.
Yes it is...lol! Thanks so much
I do not have the range boss but I've got the Finn wolf with the same handle, in aus 8. Point being I have the same handle. The handle does not slip in your hand when sweaty. I love my cold steel knife. The one you're showing today looks nice. But it's a little too long for my liking! But for those looking for a longer knife it looks perfect!👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯🗡🗡🔪🔪🤓🤓
The handle provides terrific grip for sure. Maybe a little too much where the clip lands but that can be resolved.
👍👍🎯🎯
I have the CS 1911 Flipper in 4034 blade steel, has held up well, nice and sharp, like all off CS blades. 👍
Awesome...that is good to hear!
@@BigRedEDC note: your Blue Creek link is missing the prefix http//www, the link is dead.
Yep its fixed!
Interesting knife
Good size and very grippy...lol
Like the bowie blade I’m buying one enough said
Lol...right on Osbaldo
J.B. if the Range Boss can survive Jimislash then Cold Steel has got something there ‼️
Lol...true
The only Cold Steel I have owned was the Tuff Lite and I loved it. I tried the Busb Ranger Lite and didn't like the handles on it at all. They felt really cheap.
Tuff Lite is a fun knife!!
For the price pretty good knife.
Not bad overall!
I like the Range Boss, but I don't own one yet. Seems like a more budget version of the Broken Skull (which I do own) and I like the idea of that. Cheers, buddy!
For sure David! Thanks as always.👊👊
Have the CS Broken Skull. Same knife ergos better steel s35vn. The Boss great for price 👍
Yeah...pretty decent👍
Best sort of work knife and only sorry outlawed in UK.
Yes indeed it is Lewis!!
Is there a flex in the handle? Can you pinch the scales together?
Not really....its pretty solid!
The design of the knife itself I love (similar to buck 110 slim?), but not a fan of the steel they use in it and although they tend to do a good heat treat on all their steels there are just better options out there. Thanks for the great vid JB and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
Thanks so much Todd!
Not a big fan of the blade shape on this one but Thanks for the review JB! I Love my Code 4 in S35VN and im comsidering a Recon 1!!!
Code 4, Recon 1 and American Lawman are 3 of my favorites!
@@BigRedEDC Of the two, which would you choose, Recon 1 or American Lawman?
American Lawman....all.day!
@@BigRedEDC American Lawman it is, Thanks JB! 🤙🏻
👊👊👊
At one point didn’t they make the range boss in 4116 steel or am I mistaken?
It's possible!
That stuff feels like zyzyxzx
😂🤣 So grippy!!!
It is grippy for sure!!
A 40 buck beater, not bad.
No..not bad at all
The affiliate link isn't blue BigRed. Can't use it to get there buddy.
What about now Marcos? Appreciate the feedback
@@BigRedEDC yessir it is lit up and works now 👍
@@bubba92473 thank you!👍👍👍
Thanks JB that is one of my favs in my collection I even had mine modded from KNATHAN’S it’s a game changer
Right on Pete! Glad to hear it!
@@BigRedEDC I’ll shoot you a pic of it when I get a chance
Cutting competition, Range Boss vs Buck 110 🤠
Lol...interesting idea
Just makes me want to throw it a beating.
Lol...right on!!!
Blade shape is kinda cool. Not really my jam though.
Right on Mike
Cold Steel makes a great knife! But those handles looks like 40 grit sandpaper!!!
They have some grip Mike...lol
Always wanted a Cold steel, not a fan of billboarding.
Right on Caldren! Thanks for taking a look!!
Definitely needs modifications to use.
Sure wouldn't hurt Rusty!!
They should have stuck with the Broken Skull.
Just put the G10 on this one as well and its a great budget option!
I like Cold Steel a lot, but I’ve never understood why they think they need to make some of their clips so ridiculously strong and landing directly on pocket ripping handle texture. And it’s obviously not just you and me that feel this way - I hear comments about it all the time. There are so many simple ways they could remedy the issue too. Pretty grippy from the factory? Okay, I can deal with that. Nearly unpocketable as a knife comes from the factory? Seems a little silly to me. It’s a good looking knife, but if the steel is close to 420J2 (not to mention being combined with the clip issue), I’m out for sure.
Cold Steel has had some very questionable clups for sure...lol! Thanks for your thoughts Paul! Have a great week!
Nah,, the clip needs some serious work, to make it user friendly, and even then, it's on the wrong end, !! Big folders should be tip down imho,,
A cheap alternative to the Spyderco Stretch 2 XL tho',, 👍👍
Thanks for watching John
