COLDSTEEL: Rajah III ~VS~ the Spartan!

[SirWilliam318]

great video, i was deadlocked on these two and your video helped me make my mind up.

[HELLZZARMY]

@SirWilliam318 ...glad I was of some service...JT

[adawg9842]

Hey JT,

Nice video. Thanks for letting us know your view on these knives. How about the Rajah III compared to the AK 47? Same steel, same blade length, which one do you like?

Thanks

[HELLZZARMY]

@adawg9842 ...thanks. I still have to get a Cold Steel AK-47 knife.

[Pimpzilla300]

I tend to side with the knives that have a flat grind, so the Rajahs win in my book. But that Spartan has more style than the Rajah Bros, (yes, even the first one).

[fairman308]

Thank you for this video ! I have been pondering the same comparison lately

[sungwei9]

I'm not into big folders, but the Rajah is an exception. Those things are just beasts and look awesome.

[EnduringEagle]

Just saw the Spartan on Amazon for about $55 and that included shipping. I also have the Rajah III and keep it in my "Go Bag". Great knife. Tough, flat grind slicer, light and cheap enough to thump on. Wasn't crazy about it when I got it but it has grown on me. The more I use it the more I love it. GREAT VID>

Awesome vid JT, I edc a Spartan when I hike, and will have to pick up a rajah 3. I was slightly disappointed to see the new espadas in G10, although I like G10 IMHO it was a drop back from the aluminum micarta/G10 combo...and at the same price. I can't believe they discontinued the rajah 1, but I own one so I guess it's bad for those who missed the ship!

Keep em coming JT

[audiophile71]

Hey, J.T. I've got a brand new in box Rajah 1 for sale if you want another for collection purposes.

[Pimpzilla300]

Do you prefer Kukris over Bowie or tanto blades?

[HELLZZARMY]

@Pimpzilla300 ...Maybe Bowie-style blades just a little more.

[CRAZYconservati44140]

I got a Rajah II a few months ago, been carrying it since the day I got it, great stand off blade... It's kinda like an aircraft carrier! The minute it comes out to play everyone stops and backs off! lol I did a pretty crappy review on it...

As always, thanks for the video, It's cool to see all of the "Rajah-ish" folders together! lol

[PEREZCHOOCH]

All great knives!

[MrMAX4400]

Enjoyed the comparison. Thanks.

[piper724000]

Thanks JT, nice review as always.

[702CitizenArmory]

after i was given a Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto for Xmas i was sold on Cold Steel so in Jan I got the Rajh III and I LOVE them both !!!!!!!

[K0Wftw]

I like anything that looks, feels, smells and/or tastes like a kukri 

[BILLYRUBAN]

I edc the Rajah 1 everyday, since it came out. and yeah it saddens me that they discontinued it.

[WarzoneMerc]

Rajah 1 is an amazing blade im proud to own one.

[epcm01]

i love all those rajahs. i think people were just passing on the R1 because why spend $250 or whatever it was when you can pick up the R2 for $90.

[Natedaschoolboy]

the spartan is more like 9.5 man, they have it wrong on the site. just thought id let ya know if noone has

[Naut]

not particularly fond of either, but if i had to choose i'd take the spartan. one thing that bugs me about the III is the blade length to handle length ratio.

good video as always JT.

[noahboa13000]

rajah III better cutter full flat grind spirtan holo grind

[pjicleanair420]

awesome knives man, i want a rajah 2

[AlienRope]

I love that blade!

[zakdee06]

I live in Hawaii as well, I was wondering, what is the name of your friend's shop?

[GhostStan]

i got rajah3 for $49 amazon free shipping

[1dabirdman]

i'm liking the "mini raja" seems like it would be a more comfortable carry.

[Nurple17]

I've been meaning to pick these up for a while. I kind of want the Spartan more.

[GMGvanS]

I love that you went way out of your comfort zone when you were talking about camping. lol

I love that you only have knives for self defense and this was a good comparison.

[URBANAMERICANTAC]

always glad to see your videos.

[thedefinitive]

yeah, if you paid more than $60 for the Spartan, you got had lol. great knives though, both of them. I have a Spartan and I love it. Been EDCing it since Summer 2010.

[HELLZZARMY]

@thedefinitive ..yeah actually got it for $67.00. You got to remember everything is imported into the State. Retailers have to pay fees, sales tax, etc...

Just saw it on Knifeworks $49.95 with shipping it would still be over $60.00

[thedefinitive]

@HELLZZARMY oh yeah i understand that! lol i meant like retail sticker price, dude.

[thedefinitive]

@HELLZZARMY oh yeah i understand that! lol i meant like retail sticker price dude. as long as it's not the MSRP on the Cold Steel site, you're doing ok really lol

[untouchblz]

@thedefinitive In Hawai'i everything that is not made in the Islands is more expensive, just as most places. But Hawai'i is the most isolated islands on the planet, so yeah it will cost more than mainland prices.

[thedefinitive]

@untouchblz of course. i forgot JT lives in Hawaii lol

[thecajunblaze]

Nice Compairisons! Cold Steel does make some wicked looking Blades. The Spartan looks as it would be a great grip for any hand. Thanks for sharing!

[GMGvanS]

@thecajunblaze Dang you Blaze, I wanted to be first!

[dohnty]

@GMGvanS fuck you i wanted to be second LOL!!!

[GMGvanS]

@dohnty You snooze, you lose!

[thecajunblaze]

@GMGvanS Haha, you snooze you lose! Wake Up!

[GMGvanS]

@thecajunblaze Guess your right, but I will never lose again. Remember these words.
