\"Clay\u2019s<\/a>

Pictures can be deceiving. The Rajah II from Cold Steel is an absolute monster of a knife.<\/p><\/div>\n

Like many of you, I am something of an edged-weapon junkie. Especially when I was a young man with no responsibilities ( some would also say sense) and an E-7 paycheck, I had a tendency to buy anything that looked cool. Well, today I am bringing you a review of the knife that taught me to always check the dimensions before you press order.<\/p>\n

\"Clay\u2019s<\/a>

Folded up.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Cold Steel Rajah II <\/a>looks great in pictures, sharing a kopis blade shape,\u00a0not unlike the Cold Steel Spartan I wrote about in Ep. 2<\/a>. It is kind of unique, and Cold Steel has an excellent reputation, so order I did. And the look on my face when I pulled it out of the wrapper must\u2019ve been priceless.<\/p>\n

The Rajah II is exactly like it looks in the pictures, as a far a shape. But what is missing from the pictures is any frame of reference with respect to size. Because this knife is absolutely HUGE<\/em> for a folder.<\/p>\n

\"Clay\u2019s<\/a>

With 5.56 round for reference.<\/p><\/div>\n

With a 6-inch blade and an 8-inch handle, the Rajah II<\/a> is the largest folder I have seen outside of novelty grade knives. At 14 inches overall, it surpasses many of the fixed blades I recommend in size. The Spartan is what I would consider a very large sized folder. The Rajah II makes it look like a baby.<\/p>\n

\"Clay\u2019s<\/a>

A large thumb stud to help you deploy the blade.<\/p><\/div>\n

I did consider sending the Rajah II back but decided to take the loss since it was my fault for not checking. And I am actually glad I did. Because while the Rajah might look ridiculous, it actually does turn out to be a useful tool particularly when you have a big job to do.<\/p>\n

It is very surprising how well the Rajah II carries in a pocket. That sounds like nonsense, but given its relatively thin handle profile, it actually does. If you front pocket carry, it doesn\u2019t feel much different from any other large size folder. Cold Steel included the Demko thumb plate, which can be used for the pocket snag opening.<\/p>\n

\"Clay\u2019s<\/a>

Triad Lock is very robust.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Rajah II features the patented Cold Steel Triad lock, a redesigned take on the traditional lock back we know and love. I am partial to lock backs, there are very few liner locks I trust. With something as big as the Rajah, this was absolutely the right call. It locks up like a bank vault and feels as sturdy as a fixed blade.<\/p>\n

\"Clay\u2019s<\/a>

The stainless pocket clip.<\/p><\/div>\n

As a defensive tool, the size plays a factor. While I don\u2019t think this is for everyone, it would be the weapon of choice if you had to use a folder in a life or death situation. It has a size and a\u00a0reach that is well outside anything else in its class.<\/p>\n

The Rajah II is also an excellent choice in areas that ban fixed blades\u00a0but put no size restriction on folders. The Rajah II is like a Kukri<\/a> that fits in your pocket, and sometimes that is exactly what the doctor ordered. The Rajah 3 is also available, in a much more compact package.<\/p>\n
