The Cold Steel Bush Ranger Lite (brand part no. CS-21A), developed by Mike Wallace, gives budget-minded outdoorsmen a more affordable path into the proven Bush Ranger folding field knife platform. It carries an almost identical 3.5-inch Sheffield clip point blade to its pricier sibling, built here from durable 8Cr13MoV steel with a thumb stud for easy one-handed opening. Comfort was a core design goal, and the expertly contoured glass-filled nylon handle fits the hand naturally while keeping the knife’s weight down to just 4.8 ounces. A state-of-the-art rocker lock with a secondary safety mechanism gives it genuine shock resistance for hard field use.
