The Kukri’s best attributes and enormous potential as a weapon and a
tool have been well documented in our DVD’s. We’ve made different
variations of the Kukri over the years, some with longer blades, and
some with shorter, but never, until now, have we had a version you could
carry in your pocket as a folder.
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. These
features will facilitate 3 grip styles. One - very close to the cutting
edge where you can really choke up on the handle for fine or delicate
work. Two – by the middle for ordinary chores. And three – near the end
or butt where you will have the most leverage and weight forward balance
for heavy cutting or chopping and where you will receive maximum reach
advantage.
The only suitable lock that can sustain the incredible impact forces
generated by chopping strokes with a Rajah folder is our new 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.
Rajah I
The Rajah I is truly a custom quality knife. Its handle frame and
integral bolsters are CNC machined from a 7075 Aluminum billet to secure
the black G-10 handle scales. And it’s built tough enough to endure
countless hours of hard, brutal work.
Rajah II
The Rajah II is a more economical version of the Rajah I (at one third
the price). It has a Grivory injection molded handle and steel liners
for added strength.
RAJAH III:
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 8A stainless blade,
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.
