Hey everyone. This video was made as a request by one of you! It is not intended as a review or "which one is best". Simply my perspective of these knives. I forgot to mention that one is capable of being taken apart, but I would think that was obvious. If your thinking of purchasing one for yourself, a son, a daughter, a niece, a nephew, a wife, a husband, a friend, a relative. Get the BUCK!
Johnny, check out the CS Range Boss, as opposed to the Ranch Boss. Might be worth a follow up.
If it's not a comparison or "which one is best" you should change the title. Your title DEFINITELY implies a competion between the two knives
I agree 100%
Life time warranty
Vintage USA Gerber 97223 Portland Oregon USA Unsharpened Pocket Knife+ Sheath is currently $255 on eBay.
I've owned the Buck 110 for many years. I recently picked up the Cold Steel Ranch Boss II. The CS did not come with a sheath. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the CS. Both these knives are great in their own way.
I have my CS ranch boss 2 in a buck made in the USA nylon pouch 😎
Finally another classic buck 110 owner that knows the flip trick I have to laugh when people say you can’t open/close the buck 110 one handed😂👍
I had a Buck 110 I purchased in the Navy in 1965 and it came up MIA around 1971 . I could flip it open one handed very easily .
I bought another 110 new in 1980 and still have it to this day . It does not flip open one handed . It’s very stiff in operation. And fits perfectly as it did the day I bought it .
I can pick one. The buck. Americana classic. Great warranty. Still made in the USA. Broke the hinge on it and they fixed it and polished it for free. Can’t beat that
Thank you for a great side by side video.
Great comparison, buddy. I like what you did with that buck pouch, that snap is really cool!
Love that Texas Ranger badge snap you modded on the one pouch. Very cool. Thanks, JJ. Enjoy.
You bet
The Cold Steel not having a half-stop is one of the greatest selling point for me. I find many CS knives are very European in matters of function over form. The lack of a half-stop only ads to that impression.
Good video, thanks
The upside on a belt sheath riding a bit high is that for us guys that have a little bit extra to work with we can tuck our shirts behind the flap to make the blade easier to access.
Buck 112 Ranger from 1980 with brown and brass snap sheath is what I have like in Kill Bill.
The CS Ranch Boss and the Sharade Uncle Henry are actually Folding Hunter patterns, based off the Case Folding Hunter from the 1920s or 1930s I think. Case still produces the Folding Hunter today, as do several other knife manufacturers. Dave Canterbury's favorite signature pattern. I think they're fascinating, especially the older Case made like our grandfathers would have carried.
I have had a 110 or close on 25 years. Had the blade replaced for free by Buck about 20 years ago. Awesome. Like Fumastertoo said, had one on my belt for years.
Great watch ⌚️ and that strap you have it on is really cool 😊
Fine video. Never heard of adding a half stop. Interesting. Like the look of the Ranch Boss, but if the blade is not SS, I’d say no to it.
I still plan to get that Ranch Boss II
does the sheath come with the
Ranch Boss II ?
I have a regular Ranch Boss with the GFX plastic scales and new 4116 ss blade
but I know SK-5 is a better steel being a carbon steel.
Buck 110 for me. Even with all the overpriced "super duper" steel folders out there and "modern" designs, the 110 still holds up. Reason being it has a strong lock back and it's simple as you can get with just a spring rod inside. There are no moving parts inside like springs or screws. It is a one piece design with the bolsters and liners attached and the wood, G10, micarta, horn, bone, metal or whatever you want in the middle for aesthetics. I personally have gone back to sheath carrying a 3 dot 1980-81 Buck 110 with the thicker and heavier squared bolsters and better Bos treated 440C (the last year they used it before switching to 425M and then 420HC). You can still find the 3 dot 1980-81's all over the place and they are the masculine version of the 110, what the 110 should look like. They rounded bolstered 110's like in this video look feminine to me. I scored a bunch of these 3 dots in great condition for around $60 to give to my kids for camping and hiking when they get older. All the rest of my "super duper" steel knives with modern designs I collected over the years now sit in a drawer collecting dust (actually in a safe deposit box because they are discontinued and worth 5 times what I got them for). The 110 really is the only blade you'll ever need and can get sharp as a razor with minimal effort in the field. Also made in my home state of Idaho. Here's a great history of the 110 this guy put together and it is very informative.

I agree with all your points. I have hundreds of knives in the collection. I collect them and they collect dust. It's a symbiotic relationship. This is why I take my knives Into The Woods. and use them. Great comment!
The number on the back of the Gerber sheath is the model number for the knife that was inside it, a Model 97223, looks like a fairly cheap little pocket knife but a good Gerber from the era.
I believe the Gerber sheath held the Gerber F.S. (Folding Sportsmen ) 3.
Nice review , very informative . Thank You.
Peace . Be Free .
I think the knife that belongs in the sheath is a Gerber puma lock back.
Definitely the Buck 110. Thanks for the video. I enjoy your channel. Would like to see a comparison video of the Recon 1versus the AD 10. I own a Recon 1but not the AD 10. Thanks.
Coming soon!
The Ranch Boss ll is a knife I would like too own now seeing the blade size with the Buck 110 , it make Buck look small and the lock is a plus also. I remember you mid video & nice job.
SK5 Steel on a folder would be new to me. Bigger & Lighter is a winner 🏆 for CS.
Once I put a Kwik Stud on that
Ranch Boss ll. It will win all day & night.
How easily will SK5 rust? I mean, if I rinse and wipe it dry after use,
will it suffice, or do I need to "baby" it with oil after every single
use?
It hates milk products. Will blacken almost instantaneously. I will be doing a follow up on the CSRB soon, as I have forced a Patina recently. Use food grade mineral oil to maintain.
I didn't understand the mystery knife. It said "uncle Henry" on it. What's not to know?
I was just wondering on that ranch boss if you feel nervous with the lock release right where your front of your hand isI was just wondering on that ranch boss if you feel nervous with the lock release right where your front of your hand is.
Great head to head review man. I believe the Gerber sportsman 3 is the proper knife for that case I have one in the same case which is good but the BUCK is best.
Yes I got the Sportsman 3 because my friend got the 110. Always thought I made the least favorable choice. Thanks!
good job!
Thanks!
Can you tell me where I can get a leather wrist watch band like yours? Thanks
I make my own leather goods. Maybe I’ll do a video soon?
The cold steel ranch boss is just a traditional single blade folding hunter, just like that Schrade uncle Henry there.
It is a pattern that long predates the the 110, Remington Ka-Bar Case, NYK.CO, Cattaraugus, Camillus...ect you name it all made them.
Earlier on they were generally based on a large coke bottle frame.
I like my boss2
is it possibe to use the KWIK thumb stud with the CS Rnch Boss2? I know it is working with Buck 110 but is it works with Ranch Boss2? Anybody has idea it will works?
PS. Sorry for my english - I am not from US
The RB is too stiff. It is very difficult to use.
I wanted to love the ranch boss. But of course the lock and no 1/2 stop had it on the auction block fast. Its so cheap to buy but still love was only skin deep.
I have a few videos of that Uncle Henry’s sister on my channel. The Old Timer 125OT “mustang”. Vintage, American made knives. Been around a lot longer than the Chinese Cold Steel Ranch Boss. Cold Steel is the copy, not that Uncle Henry. Nice video sir, I’ll take the Buck as my choice by the way.
It’s a 127 uh uncle Henry. I’d need to see tang stamp to tell more.
Do you do custom works on the side on Chiefs I have a 112 Ranger
Not at this time.
What a coincidence, the knife for the pouch is the gerber 97223, I don’t know the name but it’s a discontinued knife and the numbers match up on that pouch of yours

My Pops gave me a Buck 110 in the early 70"s and a Schrade Uncle Henry in the mid 80"s.
My Schrade Uncle Henry came in a similar leather sheath as the one you questioned about.
I'm not sure if it was the original sheath, but that's how I received it. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Not sure if it's been asked...
Will the Cold steel work in your Buck quick draw?
Hmmmm. Ill have to check.
The Ranch Boss 2 is about half the price, that’s a big deal with these two
You haven't checked the price of a Buck 110 recently, $65. CS Ranch Boss II $38 is 41%. I can buy two CS $76.
So the question was,what was the first knife ,the Schroede + definitely a uncle Hendr
Did your knife arrive full of oil, all over? Mine arrived today and even the handle was covered in oil, I had to wipe the whole knife thoroughly.
No
Mine came covered in oil too
Ranch Boss FTW.
Re-profiling the edge as we speak
@@JohnnyJuke That's awesome. Please show the results.
@@JohnnyJuke I just ordered one. Have a KME system here if I ever need to re-profile it.
@otobotrecords Will do🔪
I'm a huge fan of CS, as I have quite a few of their knives. However, I've never even heard of the Ranch Boss knife, but who hasn't heard of the Buck 110!?! I grew up in the country and we all had a buck 110 on our belts even at school. The 110 is a classic and as for me, I would have to go with the Buck. That said, the CS looks very nice and I do like that larger mean looking blade. Thanks for sharing brother, have a great Sunday.
i love and own a buck 110 from 95. i love it but its not a pocket carry knife.
2 hand opening is a downfall of the Ranch Boss 2. It's even too thick for a kwik stud, but I think that spring would still be too strong for that.
Yep tried both and you are right
My choice would be the Cold Steel Range Boss with the Tri-ad lock. I know that it is not one of the three in your video, but I am a Cold Steel fan, and believe the Tri-ad lock is one of, if not the most secure locks available on pocket knives today.
When I am potentially going to put a folding knife into hard use, my first pick would be a Cold Steel Tri-ad lock knife. Cold Steel rules, man !
All four of these knives are visually similar, but only one is truely hard use.
Henry
ya mean ranch boss is a copy of the other. ....how did ya know this is my 1012th Buck 110 video? HOW, half stop??? did you show, no link?
Relax buddy. Maybe try fishing or something.😂😂
How to half-stop a Buck 112 perhaps?
@@JohnnyJuke Dude, I'm very relaxed...I fish almost every day, for a living! Just thought I may learn the half stop trick. We don't have that trick on dexter russell, fillet knives
The Buck 110 - "Half Stop Mod" 2021!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@JohnnyJuke any!
8 bucks thumb stud from Buck
GERBER SPORTSMAN
Awesome and thank you. Off to google now!
The Sportsman isn't the one I owned, at least the images I searched didn't match.
@@JohnnyJuke the serial number /model # on your sheath , that was my reference.
@@JohnnyJuke LOL< I wonder if it is the zip code,LOL
IT IS THE ZIP CODE, LOL!!!!!!!!! OH WELL, DO I GET AN 'A' FOR EFFORT? LOL!
Ranch Boss for me. I've never been more disappointed in a knkfe than a buck 110 $70+ fit and finish and QC on par with chinese even though its american built. Companies use that label and stop trying. SK5 steel is just as good as Bucks overrated 420hc for more than half the price.
I pick MADE IN AMERICA!!
Ugly knife vs work of art. I have cold steels but they would do much better if they upped the quality t6? And get rid of the aluminum
I'd take the 110 over the cold steel liner locks suck and will close on your fingers sooner or later. The buck 110 has probably the strongest lock of any folder. Have owned 5 over the last 52 years unfortunately I tend to lose them or some lowlife steals one which happen to my first 110 win I was in the Navy
AHHHH, carried one in the Navy also. Came in so handy doing preventive maintenance and opening bandages (ex-corpsman).
They All copied the Buck 317 Trailblazer
What a silly watch band
