Description
Description
The Rajah III is basically a scaled down, more pocket friendly, version of its big brother the Rajah III. Designed by Andrew Demko, it shares almost all the major features of the Rajah II including a Tri-Ad™ lock, thumb plate opener, ambidextrous pocket clips, and a Grivory 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.

This knife is in that nice Cold Steel Sweet Spot of price and quality, where they have a history of succeeding. My one and only complaint with mine, which I bought years ago was that slickness of the handle. Now with the added texture that complaint is out the window. The blade shape is an amazing utilitarian design for everything from slicing to chopping to thrusting, and the Demko Triad Lock is fully utilized. This is a beefy, serious use knife that will last you decades... and not just if you're nice to it. It'll shrug off abuse like its nothing.
I am curious though in regards to the blade's specs... I wonder if BladeHQ made a mistake with the blade steel, I believe this particular model is supposed to be in BD1 steel instead of their old AUS8A. Either way, highly recommended but hopefully they see this review and double check.

One thing to note is that when you first use the plate opening feature the Tri-ad lock will stick. After maybe 10 or 15 openings the lock will not stuck anymore. I suggest softly opening the knife with the plate the first few times.
