A solid knife, fits perfectly in the hand, opens smoothly. As for the lock, there's not much to say, I don't know if there is anything on the market with a better design. Very sharp and so far it seems to maintain this sharpness for a long time. It hurt a bit in the wallet but I don't regret it.
Cold Steel Bush Ranger S35VN folding knife
Designed for outdoor enthusiasts and everyday carry (EDC), this folding knife features a robust Clip-Point blade crafted from premium S35VN stainless steel. The ergonomic handle, constructed from durable G10 laminate, guarantees a secure and comfortable grip. Crafted by the experienced and highly respected knifemaker Mike Wallace.
S35VN stainless steel
S35VN stainless steel, an advanced alloy developed as the successor to S30V, is crafted using powder metallurgy techniques and offers superior corrosion resistance, increased ease of sharpening over S30V, and, thanks to its finer grain structure, delivers enhanced resistance to chipping.
double-sided disc, Tri-Ad Lock
Equipped with a disc that can be accessed from both sides and operated using the thumb, the blade offers effortless opening with either hand. The disc, featuring a specialized notch, also mimics Emmerson’s wave feature—as the knife is drawn, the protruding section catches on the pocket’s edge, instantly deploying the blade for immediate use.
Once fully extended, the blade becomes secured by the robust Tri-Ad Lock, an enhanced version of the traditional Back Lock. Distinguished by a deeper engagement, this mechanism utilizes a pin that absorbs blade load and ensures additional stabilization during use, surpassing the performance of the original design.
G10 laminate handle
Featuring an ergonomic handle, the knife is equipped with scales crafted from G10 glass-epoxy composite, which incorporates a non-slip textured surface. A lanyard hole at the base of the grip allows for the attachment of a cord, providing additional security against loss.
spring clip
The spring clip integrated into the handle guarantees secure, everyday carry by enabling attachment to a belt or pocket edge. Designed for versatility, the clip is reversible and can be installed in a tip-up orientation, accommodating both right- and left-handed users.

It costs quite a bit, but this is a knife for a lifetime. It fits perfectly in the hand and you can feel it is a solid "machine" that will endure a lot. The sharpness lasts a long time (very good S35VN steel) and sharpening is no problem at all (first diamond, then ceramic, and you can shave). I spent a long time deciding which Cold Steel model to choose and I don't regret my choice.
-
A large folder for a large hand and it fits well in it. It's not too heavy for me. I recommend it for everyday use.
-
The blade is great, but what surprises the most is the new handle styling and ergonomics.
-
Comfortable handle, the blade opens smoothly, cuts well, generally a cool folding knife for example for the forest.
