Bush Ranger Folder

I think it's a great looking knife, love the lines. Haven't got one yet, I kind of wrote cold steel off this year because of the lack luster line-up and i didn't give this one a good look. Carried a Recon 1 clip point forever as my work knife, best and most dependable knife a guy could ask for IMO. Not sure if this will kick it out my pocket but i love the blade shape and think i'll grab one to have it in the collection.

It is a great knife! I dont think you would be dissapointed. been carrying it everday since i purchaced it. I usually carry the Ti-lite but I like this knife.

I finally managed to grab one of these for ~$95 plus tax . Better late than never !

Handle is very nice and thick . Feels good and ergonomic for extended hard work . Nice texture to the G10 . Not too rough but great grip .

Blade is functional style clip point . ~3.5" blade . Strong built but not ridiculously thick . Blade is centered .

Thumb plate , wave opener . A plus for me .

Out of box action of lock is good and smooth . Not great "drop shut" like AD10 , but good . Needs some break-in (to relax the spring) for easier opening , but no lock stick problem .

~4 7/8 " folded length . Comparing , AD10 is a little short of 5 3/8" folded .

Bush Ranger is overall more compact , lighter weight , easier carry than the AD10 . But no metal liners , so somewhat less sturdy .

Fits my medium size hands very well in all normal grips . Very large hands , maybe not ?

Well apparently my opinion has changed since I posted to this thread a couple years ago. I like the Bush Ranger despite the thick scales. Same with the Ultimate Hunter.

The Ultimate Hunter is still in my work/edc rotation. I m stii not sure what I would gain from using theBush Ranger as opposed to my UH.

..actually I'm not sure you would. I have both and much prefer the UH for work.

It's ground thicker than the UH. Has the wave opener. The clip caused a hot spot until I flattened it out. It bridges a handle contour so it doesn't need to stick up much.
