Cold Steel Rajah II, another mega size folding knife by Cold Steel, with a 6" long Japanese Stainless Steel AUS-8A blade, secured with the super tough and strong Tri-Ad lock. Cold Steel Rajah II had impressed me because of it's sharpness and the unexpected smooth and easy lock mechanism. I have the Cold Steel Espada XL in G-10, but the lock was awful for a few months, then my daily exercise made it transformed. This one comes super smooth and it doesn't need any exercising!
Cold Steel Rajah II is like a Kukri blade, it's not easy to sharpen with a normal stone for sure, but it's extremely sharp out of the box. The blade is very thick too, much thicker than the Cold Steel Espada XL, scary eh?
Here is my full review and destruction test with the Cold Steel Rajah II:
After playing with the Cold Steel Rajah II a few days, I would love to try this as my EDC in the future, but now I am more inclined to the Cold Steel Espada XL in G-10 more because of the grip and that 1" longer blade. The handle of the Cold Steel Rajah II is better as in "round" and "thick" but not the non-slip feature. It makes you feel like holding a fixed blade more than a folding knife, fun!
If you have to choose between the Cold Steel Rajah II or the Cold Steel Espada XL in G-10, which one will you take for EDC? Honestly, carrying Cold Steel XL blades is an addiction. You fear the size is too big, then you carry it a day or two, you fall in love with it, and now you don't want to size down but just carry another one in your other pockets! Sigh! I am deeply diseased!
