Budget knife impressed me!! Cold Steel Range Boss.

See i like this one so much that i might get one of the Broken Skulls to try. I've never felt one. I did notice out of the box the Range Boss is very smooth and easy to open.
 
A few years ago (before my stroke), I was pleasantly surprised by a knife that was given to me as a gift. It was a Smith & Wesson, and it looked like a far more expensive brand: it worked perfectly, locked up early and tight, had very nice fit & finish, and had no grit or crud in the action (which really surprised me), and I still have it in my carry line-up today.

So far, it`s the only S&W knife (other than a 40+ year old American-made S&W I have) that I use on a regular basis.

This is my first post in three+ years; it feels good to be back! ;)

Range Boss has arrived! Fit and function are pretty good, overall very pleased with it. No left side clip of course. :rolleyes: Basically a copy of the Broken Skull in size and shape. As noted earlier, 4034 is supposedly very similar to 420HC. CS tends to get their heat treat right, so that gives me some confidence. For a no-worry user knife it should work out OK. Surprised to see there are indeed partial liners running full length. though they must be fairly thin.
