The Cold Steel Range Boss. 4116 steel, 4" blade, Zy-EX handle, Tri-Ad lock, and reversible pocket clip. It's a beast of a knife. Came razor sharp out of the box. The texture of the handle is like high grit sand paper. It's not slipping in a gloved or bare hand, wet or dry. That's also a not so good thing. It's going to wearout the pockets if it gets continuous use. But I'm going to use it, abuse it and put it head to head with the Buck 110 Slim Select.

The Buck 110 Slim Select. Their classic 420hc, FRN scales, and not much else. I wanted a bigger light weight folder as a camping companion for my beloved Ka-Bar Dozier. I got this one and a Cold Steel Range Boss is on it's way. So far I'm impressed with the 110 though. Feels so good in the hand. It's got a fine grit sandpaper like texture that with a pair of gloves on, it's not going to slip easy even in wet conditions. I'm pretty happy with the overall fit and finish, pivot action, and that stupid strong lockback. Either way, it's going to make a great addition to the collection and see some action in the rotation.
