Cold Steel - Rajah Series

Designed by celebrated custom knife maker Andrew Demko, the Rajah II can only be described as one thing - a pocket Kukri! Its broad, downward curved blade exhibits the best of a Kukri’s characteristics -- the unique blade shape presents the thin, hollow ground edge at just the right angle so that it naturally bites deep; while its thick, wide and sharp point pierces even the toughest targets. The astoundingly sharp Japanese AUS8A blade is supported by the Tri-Ad lock -- the only lock that could sustain the incredible impact forces generated by chopping strokes of a kukri. The unique handle features the contours of a fixed blade kukri combined with strategically placed finger grooves and curves to facilitate a strong grasp on the knife in a variety of grips. Despite its size the Rajah is easily and comfortably carried just like any other folding knife. Our patented Thumb Plate, also designed by Andrew Demko, allows the user to open the knife in a conventional manner with the thumb - or by snagging it on the edge of a pocket to speedily snap it open for a fast draw. The Rajah III is basically a scaled down, more pocket friendly, version of its big brother. It shares almost all the major features of the Rajah II including the Japanese AUS 8A stainless blade, Tri-Ad™ lock, thumb plate opener, ambidextrous pocket clip, and Grivory handle. The Rajah III represents some of the best design innovations from the mind of Andrew Demko. Over-delivering in performance while still managing to be a low-key, discreet folding knife. A tireless workhorse and trusted companion it makes short work of the most daunting everyday cutting tasks. LINK:
