The smooth punch is interesting. Both of my 319s have the grooves:

The ranch boss looks like something Schrade would have produced, not cold steel.
What is your impression?
Thanks

I understand it may actually be a copy of a Schrade folder. My impression is favourable, it is a big folder, larger than the 110, it has a solid liner lock, no blade play, good centering. Faux sawed bone scales but I don’t mind. Good grip, no hot spots. Made in China but nothing is perfect. Blade is thick, flat grind sk-5 carbon steel. It’s assembled with torx screws so I guess it is easy to disassemble if needed.

Sheath feels like bonded leather (?)

Edit: found a video clip with a Schrade Uncle Henry folder which looks like a close ancestor to the Ranch Boss

Max Sao Knives

"OVS" = "Our Very Special"?

I know "OVB" stood for/stands for (if the mark is still used) "Our Very Best".

Nice knives.
Tho TBH I personally would pass on the recurve. No advantages for what I do with a knife, and more difficult to sharpen evenly with the stones I have.

Sorry. I'll "shhhh!!! the f up" and go away.

Your opinion is noted . I've been sharpening ,freehand,recurves with EZ lap combo field sharpeners ( kinda looks like a butterfly knife) . They are diamonds ,and the sharpening surface is only 3/4" wide so the blade actually sits flat . Easy peasy

Image Flipped ,the bolster reads " SAO"
