I hear you brother, I hear you. Being addicted to knives is a hard habit to break. But I am trying.

@escapetherace1943 Год назад

The bonus is it works as a small machete/survival knife but it's pocketable/concealable so if you're going through places where you'd need to take your fixed knife off and backpack it, you don't have to waste time doing that 1000x with these. That and the triad lock is never going to fail on another folder, you may as well consider it as a fixed blade when it is open. I say it's a winner.

@elgartigor 6 месяцев назад

Been carrying that knife for the last seven years totally agree it’s an amazing unit

@hk93shooter Год назад

im a big guy 6'2 250. when i deploy this beast it makes me look small. and it carries like a reg folder. my pocket machete. thats what i call it. man i love this knife. i think the in modern day we have excepted the small 3 in knife to be the norm. and it s a shame. i want a 12in knife or bayonet every were i go. and this thing delivers. i just bought my 2nd one. im going to say it again ,man i love this knife.

@jeremymueller2848 2 года назад

A big knife can do everything a small knife can do but a small knife can NOT do everything a big knife can do .👍

@TheScotchaholic 2 года назад

Exactly. Also in terms of "tactical" use, bigger is better. Reach and a little useful weight, makes a big difference.

@DevDog67 2 года назад

Ehhhhh there's a middle ground where that's true, and then there's knives that are far too big for that to make sense. Once a knife gets past 6" blade length or so is when it starts making sense to carry a smaller knife.

@tacticaltavern 2 года назад

FACTS

@knate44 2 года назад

I disagree, there is a lot of fine work that you really don't want to do with a larger knife. Anytime you might need to make a precise cut or are working away material in a very confined area, you are going to wish you had a smaller knife. Likewise with a knife like this with a big belly and broad tip, any sort of point work is going to be far more difficult. I absolutely love big knives, but if you can comfortably carry a big knife, you can carry a small knife to go with it.

@DevDog67 2 года назад

@@knate44 also once you get to a certain point of big knives you gotta ask yourself why you're wanting to carry a knife instead of something like a hatchet or machete that are arguably better tools for bigger jobs.

@seanedwards6169 Год назад

I have one of these. I EDC'd it for many years. It can be quite unobtrusive if carried in appropriate clothing. Loved how I could pull it out and make the blade deploy instantly. Used to shock the hell out of people by making an unexpected short sword appear in the blink of an eye.

@danielrobinson7872 2 года назад

The khukri blade shape is an excellent utility blade shape. There’s a reason why the Nepalese use these blades for just about everything.

@Instr_SeanSr_MBA_SigEp Год назад

I have a black coated rajah II, purchased years ago. Not even sure when now. Still looks new. It’s like a pet to me lol. Stays clean and unused for a rough day 😉. Hopefully never will use it! I’m a collector that ain’t afraid to use my toys if I have to, but looking at it and carrying is enough for me. Got mine for around $85 and haven’t seen a black one since! Great vid

@carlgray4556 2 года назад

I have this one and really like it. I did get it initially for the novelty of it, but find that I use it more than my machetes because it is easier to carry and have on me. Don't worry, at least this addiction is useful around the house 😆.

@jasonbell6539 2 года назад

Love the Rajah II in AUS-10. I've used mine for a lot. Baton, slashing/ hacking slicing, you name it. Great tool from Cold Steel!!

@TheScotchaholic 2 года назад

Cold Steel properly gets their steels heat treated well. That's why their AUS8A has been a long time favorite amongst some heavy users like myself, and definitely with more edge retention in their latest cost effective upgrade of AUS10A. AUS10A is a great field or workplace steel, for quick sharpening touch ups with a pocket knife sharpening stone/rod. The super steels out there are too expensive, and require either more time or a home sharpening systems to get a great edge nicely resharpened.

@rogerharvey9863 2 года назад

I finally got one after years of wanting one and thinking I'd missed the boat - I was so happy when I got the restock email. It's ace and I use it all the time for camping fire prep and food. People think it's ridiculous but I'm smitten. Had to take off the pocket clip tho, it was uncomfortable and it's easy enough to keep track of the knife without it...

@realbroggo 2 года назад

Lynn Thompson's legacy to the knife world is the very large, over-built 'pocket' knife. Sometimes you just need a big knife to get work done (bigger blade, more leverage, more reach etc.). Love recurves - not suitable for all jobs but really assist with cutting action. Not only do you get more cutting edge but as Aaron says it allows material to run over the cutting edge. PS. don't be intimidated for resharpening. I use ceramic rods and a small amount of patience with no problems. Informative vid - thanks.

The lock is far smoother than all of the other dozens of CS folders I have and it carries well in the pocket. 👍

@lonetrader1 2 года назад

Had it for a few years, can't count how many saplings and limbs around that size. The belly is perfect for chopping medium duty things, the back of the blade before the re curve is barely used for anything heavy so the edge stays razor sharp. In conjunction with the area before the blade used as a "choil" when choked up, gives great control. Sliding allllllll the way back gives amazing reach! With the capability and fun factor, there was about 2 full years I carried this blade ALWAYS(other smaller carries rode along too) SOOOOOO many times it's saved my butt

@scottlehman9738 4 месяца назад

@wojciechk50 2 года назад

Hahahah, this knife is a legend. When I saw it for the first time, I knew I had to have it and I do obviously. I used to EDC it and still sometimes do.

@Fightosaurus 2 года назад

Same! I picked up several of the Cold Steel XL knives, and they are all sweet, but the Rajah II is a cut above. Once I got ahold of one, it instantly joined my EDC gear and now I wouldn't be without this multifunctional chopper.

its ok brother, I too have this same addiction... breathe... its nothing to be ashamed of...

@greekveteran2715 2 года назад

Food prep for me, means that the knife can peel an apple a potato etc. If I can't use it to peel, like scandis where they can not do that job, then I don't care if it cuts a fruit in half, because that's something that any knife can do. It's those other finer tasks, that a blade must be able to do, to call it a good knife at food prep.

I have to double down on my previous comment. This is the best folder ever created. No matter if in CTS-BD1 or AUS10. It can do it all! Cutting, chopping, batoning, carving, doing feather sticks, all while fitting in your pants' pocket. Would be great, if CS released a Rajah 1 version (aluminum bolsters, pseudo micarta) with CPM-3V steel blade.

@LowLumens Год назад

I been rocking cold steel blades since the 90’s. When the espada xl first came out I got it and the large. Now I have several xl espada and been carrying one almost daily!! Can’t beat their triad!! I tend to rely on xl folders during camping and hunting trips. Yes a fixed blade is stronger but the 4 max or sr1 or other big blade can do just as much with care while I bring a silky saw or Gransfors ax for chopping and splitting. I use to just carry a big knife like my bark river grizzly or CS trail master or Gurkha kukri. But now with my style outdoors I will carry a large or xl folder.

I recently moved to North Carolina and unfortunately they have some stupid knife laws. One being you have to open carry a fixed blade, which Im not going to do unless I'm hiking or camping. So a large folder like this that can perform like a fixed blade makes alot of sense when I'm just out in town. Like Lynn says, a large knife can do anything a small knife can but not the other way around.

@danhaywood5696 2 года назад

Man, this is a powerful all around knife and a dependable tough thus safe locking folder for its power. All the grips make so much sense, adding much to this knife for use. For some reason I do not own one, but I do have the Spartan which I dig with its recurved blade similar to the Rajah II but only 4.5" and its a hollow ground heavy spine blade. Spartan comes with R and L clips too. I gotta get this Rajah II. I cant understand why I haven't already, except Im not rich, but its too good a deal not to own. My dog is eating good and I know I can make good use of it. Fuck yeah! I Locktight my clips

And it worked well cutting up chicken. So the Rajah II will be my second XL folder. And since I love the Khukuri design. I had to get one. As far as use, um, well, yeah, Self Defense. It might even deter some one from attacking, if you pull it out and show them. I ride a bike and walk a lot. So that is whey I will carry it.

Back in 2015... I picked up the blackout version. It cost $104 back then! Now some folks would put this version as a 'Cold Steel Collectable' and name your asking scenario. Not sure what figure extent folks would go for now? As a user I'd go with the one you have in this video. I kept my Blackout in minty condition. Reason: On one of my AK-47 full-size (still carry it)... I had the Demko plate (wave-like feature) fall off. 'Old' Cold Steel company warranty was meaningless and a parts department made up of no parts availability and routinely false promises. I made quite a few efforts... nevertheless, could never get this resolved (maybe the new owners are better with customer services with satisfactory solutions). After that experience... I added med. Loctite to all my Cold-Steel thumb-plates same as used for scope bases. I'd still recommend doing the Loctite fix on yours for loss prevention. If Cold Steel is listening... sure would appreciate a replacement plate and proper hardware to fix my ol' favorite AK-47.
