Cold Steel Rajah III Pocket Knife 3.5" Drop Point AUS-10A Stainless Steel Blade Black Griv-Ex Handle

The Rajah folders, designed by Andrew Demko, are big enough to approximate the feel and heft a fixed blade Kukri. Their broad, downward curved blades exhibit the best of a Kukri's characteristics. First, their unique shape presents their thin, hollow ground edges at just the right angle so they naturally bite deep instead of bouncing or skidding off. And secondly their points are thick, wide and sharp enough to pierce even the toughest targets. The handle has some of the contours of fixed blade Kukri's with the addition of strategically placed curves and finger grooves. The only suitable lock that can sustain the incredible impact forces generated by chopping strokes with a Rajah folder is the Tri-Ad lock. Designed specifically to take pressure off the smaller, more fragile interlocking surfaces of a rocker lock and transfer them to a uniquely positioned stop pin that will absorb and distribute these forces through the handle frame. Carry the Rajah as you would any folder, using the clip to attach it to any reasonably sized pocket or clip it in your waistband. In an emergency all you have to do is grab it and open it in the conventional manner or snag its unique thumb plate on the edge of a pocket and snap it open. The Rajah III is basically a scaled down, more pocket friendly, version of its big brother. Designed by Andrew Demko, it shares almost all the major features of the Rajah II including an AUS 10A stainless blade, Tri-Ad lock, thumb plate opener, ambidextrous pocket clips, and a Griv-Ex handle with steel liners for extra strength and rigidity. The Rajah III's handle offers a number of grip options due to its carefully sculptured shape and cross section and is particularly well suited to the reverse grip thanks to a unique thumb shelf built into the butt.
