Cons: Handle Material

Classic Beast

After buying the Lone Star Hunter, some years back, I figured my craving for this very classic style would be satisfied; not so. The Ranch Boss 2 is excellent. Really a locking slipjoint, as the “liner” lock actually slides over the tang, and not behind (as with a Walker liner lock). The blade comes with a working edge, but after a few minutes on my SharpMaker it becomes a razor! Everything is adjustable - screws instead of rivets. Slim, elegant, excellent fit and finish, quality materials.

Damn good knife

The lock up on this knife is superior . Carried this for 2 years now at work , many days . I do remodeling and construction . I've pretty much beat the hell out of this thing and its held up . I have been careful not to pry with it as its a clip point , so my point is intact still . That's the only action I've taken with care . The brass shields blew off when I was " stabbing " rocks from an excavator track , which was a little surprising but knda understandable . This knife LOCKS LIKE A FREAKING TANK .. period . Its the only slip joint / Liner combo I've ever owned but damn it man I don't know why this isn't way more common design . If you've been around a while you wont have any trouble opening it with one hand but you might have to be Gen x or older to know how that's done .... just saying , lol . One of my all time favorite knives

Excellent knife

I received this knife today in an order I made last week. It came to me sharp enough to 'drag' across my fingernail. I used it to trim the fat from my Rib Eye and for the slicing of the steak. This is an excellent knife for the money, no pretense of a gentleman's knife. It is not stainless, but who cares. I cut my steak on a ceramic plate and with just a few licks (5) on a ceramic rod and I was slicing paper just like out of the box. I did wash the factory coating off first though. Sturdy and inexpensive. Not a knife for the "suit" pocket. The blade 'walks and talks' and has the extra security of a liner lock. No worries of an accidental closure.

I like it a lot more than I expected

Lot of knife for the money. Arrived sharp, feels good, looks good. The only ding, and its a small one, is that you need to be careful to not put to much pressure on the slip joint back spring when releasing the lock. It is possible to put so much pressure when working the safety that it becomes a bit dangerous to close the blade.
