SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Ranch Boss II is a rugged, no-nonsense folding knife built for serious work in the field. Whether you're riding fences, cutting rope, or handling chores around the ranch, this knife is designed to stand up to the demands of hard-working professionals. It's the ideal tool for ranchers, farmers, truckers, and anyone who needs a dependable knife they can count on day in and day out.
At the heart of the Ranch Boss II is a large, clip-point blade crafted from tough SK-5 carbon steel. Known for its impressive edge retention and strength, this steel is ideal for heavy-duty use. The blade features a satin finish for added corrosion resistance and a classic nail nick pull for easy, two-handed opening. A stainless steel linerlock mechanism keeps the blade securely in place during use, providing reliable safety and control.
The handle of the Ranch Boss II is equally durable. Faux-sawn bone handle scales offer a traditional aesthetic while providing a firm, confident grip. Brass liners and stainless steel bolsters add strength to the frame and elevate its classic style. A stiff backspring further enhances safety, functioning similarly to a slip-joint to provide added resistance and finger protection during cutting tasks.
Measuring 5.25 inches closed and weighing 5.2 ounces, the Ranch Boss II has enough heft to handle demanding tasks without becoming cumbersome. It also includes a premium leather sheath for easy carry and secure storage when not in use, making it practical for both fieldwork and everyday carry.
This second-generation Ranch Boss improves on the original with updated safety features and a more refined build, while still honoring its roots as a working-class tool. It’s a modern take on the classic ranch knife—tough, functional, and made to work as hard as you do.
