Cold Steel Rajah III Compact Kukri Folding Knife

Legendary Kukri Design. Compact Everyday Performance.

The Cold Steel Rajah III brings the unmistakable cutting power of the famous Rajah series into a more compact and pocket-friendly format. Designed by acclaimed custom knife maker Andrew Demko, this versatile folding knife combines the proven efficiency of a traditional kukri blade with modern materials and Cold Steel's renowned engineering. Now discontinued, the Rajah III has become an increasingly desirable model for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Its 3.5-inch kukri-inspired blade is precision crafted from Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance. The flat-ground blade places its razor-sharp plain edge at an optimised cutting angle, allowing it to deliver slicing performance that exceeds many folding knives of a similar size. The forward-curving profile provides exceptional cutting efficiency while maintaining excellent control during practical outdoor and utility tasks.

The ergonomic black textured Griv-Ex™ handle mirrors the flowing contours of a traditional kukri grip, providing a secure and natural hold even during prolonged use. Lightweight yet exceptionally durable, it incorporates a reversible pocket clip for flexible carry options and a lanyard hole for additional versatility in the field.

Providing dependable blade security is Cold Steel's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock, widely recognised as one of the strongest locking mechanisms available on a folding knife. Designed to withstand repeated impact, heavy loads and years of demanding use, it delivers outstanding lock strength and long-term reliability, making the Rajah III a folding knife built to perform with confidence.

As a discontinued model, the Cold Steel Rajah III Compact Kukri Folding Knife represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of Andrew Demko's most distinctive designs. Combining premium materials, innovative engineering and the remarkable cutting characteristics of a kukri in a compact folding format, it is an outstanding addition to any serious knife collection.
