Cold Steel's new items

If you have trouble with the screws backing out just put a dab of locktite on the threads. Problem solved. :)

FourtyTwoBlades got the solution. For me I never needed to loctite the pivot but I'm sure it's not difficult. Plus I prefer a pivot that is easier to adjust and adjustable in the first place compared with a rivot pivot.

loving this new lineup. I always loved the weight of the voyager line but the handles seemed a bit insecure in my hand compared to other knives with a large finger groove close to the blade. I loved the recon tanto except I wanted that one in full back blade, not drop point tanto. I liked their mini tac series but wanted one in 4- 4 and a half inch balde. I wanted them to put out a new tactical hawk and a traditional spike hawk. Either they've been reading my mind or many other customers asked for the same thing. AND if some of the secondary dealers lower the prices from the retail suggested like they have been I'm anticipating being able to pick up a san mai voyager for 80-60 bucks! Very nice.

You speak my mind :)

I am the only one that likes this new short Rajah? With a retail price of just 85 dollars and the blade shortened to 3 1/2", this looks to me like a winner, (plus it has the Tri-ad lock).
Cheap enough to use hard and small enough to carry well. The design should have some great cutting power.

Looks to make for a good working knife....lots of blade, decent ergonomics, and a good strong lock...."street price" will likely be a bit lower than $85, no ?

At that price you could get two, one for the car and the other to carry. :)
 
Sure it's going to be a lot cheaper than 85. The Spartan retails for what, 95? and I paid 60.
So, the Rajah III should be 50-55.

As mentioned, Loctite will take care of that. I used to use Loctite but Teflon pipe tape/wrap is less messy and just as easy to apply and seems to me to last longer.

That will be my next CS purchase too.
I was eyeing the Spartan for a while but its handle turned me away. How is yours?

It's a good fit for me, very secure a bit bulky to carry, but in hand it feels really good.
Spartan is one of those knives you can buy and the price is so good for what you get, that even if it is a bit hard to carry you won't care.

Impressive! :)
 
I too like the look if the new Rajah but if you truly want a folding Kukri I think you have to go with the large Rajah. My Rajah I is so nicely made[ I'm going to hate to scratch it ]that I'm thinking of getting the much cheaper Rajah II for rough stuff.
 
The Rajah 3 is nice but its one of those that I have to see in person before going whole hog on it, the zytel plastic handles have a tendency to get slick and I don't see a ton of texturing on them.

My money is definitely getting spent on the Recon 1's though, G10 and that Tanto blade backed by a Tri-ad...I am in.
