Power meets pocketability. The Cold Steel Rajah II (CS-62JL) delivers the chopping authority of a kukri in a folding format you can carry every day. Its massive 6-inch stonewashed blade is forged from Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel—a tough, high-carbon alloy that balances edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. Paired with Cold Steel’s ultra-secure Tri-Ad® Lock and a rugged, textured Black Griv-Ex™ handle, the Rajah II is built to dominate heavy cutting, field chores, and emergency tasks while still riding discreetly in your pocket.
From trail clearing and camp prep to warehouse duty and disaster kits, the Rajah II brings big-knife confidence wherever you go.
Why the Rajah II Stands Out
Kukri Power in Your Pocket
The dramatic kukri profile concentrates mass behind the edge for outsized chopping and slicing performance, yet the folding design carries like a large EDC.
AUS-10A Stonewashed Blade
Japanese AUS-10A offers a sweet spot of toughness, edge life, and stainless properties; the stonewashed finish reduces glare and helps hide wear.
Tri-Ad® Lock Strength
Cold Steel’s industry-leading lock design helps distribute shock and resist lock failure under hard use—confidence you can feel when pushing the blade.
Grippy, Lightweight Griv-Ex™
The Black Griv-Ex™ handle is aggressively textured and contoured for secure traction, wet or dry, with a hand-filling shape that tames the big blade.
Fast, Ambidextrous Deployment
A broad blade with generous purchase (and dual-hand friendly opening) enables confident one-hand deployment; a sturdy reversible pocket clip supports left- or right-side carry.
Always follow local laws regarding blade length and knife carry. Use caution when deploying large folders.

Performance You’ll Notice
Serious Cutting Leverage
The forward-curving kukri belly drives the edge through rope, carpet, strap, and dense vegetation with less effort than typical straight blades.
Control for Detail Work
Despite its size, the blade’s point geometry and long edge give precise control for notching, scoring, and push cuts when you choke up on the handle.
Confidence Under Load
The Tri-Ad® Lock is designed to manage shock and axial force, helping the Rajah II handle real chopping and prying stresses better than ordinary folders.
Durable, Low-Glare Finish
The stonewash masks scratches and reduces sticking in fibrous or sticky media, keeping the blade looking and performing cleanly longer.
Ideal Use Cases
Outdoor & Camp: Limbing, kindling prep, cord management, food packaging, tarp stakes.
Work & Warehouse: Plastic banding, pallet wrap, heavy cardboard, carpet and rope.
Emergency / Prep Kits: A large, lock-secure edge in a folding footprint for vehicles and go-bags.
Overlanding & Trail: Brush clearing, camp tasks, and general utility without hauling a full-size fixed blade.
Tips for Best Results
Choke-Up Grip: Use the forward portion of the handle for fine control; move back for maximum chopping leverage.
Edge Maintenance: AUS-10A responds well to ceramic or diamond stones; finish with a light strop for a razor, bitey edge.
Clip Placement: Set the reversible clip for your dominant side and practice safe, controlled deployment.
Carry Considerations: It’s a large folder—ensure pocket clearance and secure retention when moving or climbing.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe & Dry: After wet or dusty work, clean and dry the blade; a thin coat of oil helps in harsh environments.
Pivot & Lock: Add a drop of light oil to the pivot as needed; keep the Tri-Ad® surfaces clean for consistent lockup.
Handle Care: Griv-Ex™ needs only a quick soap-and-water wipe; avoid harsh solvents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How big is the Rajah II in pocket?
A: It’s a large format folder with a 6" blade—surprisingly carryable thanks to the deep clip and slim Griv-Ex™ scales, but larger than typical EDCs.

A: No—AUS-10A balances wear resistance with friendly sharpening, so quick touch-ups restore a keen edge.
Q: Can the lock handle chopping?
A: The Tri-Ad® Lock is engineered for high lock strength and impact resistance. Still, use good technique and avoid striking hard, brittle surfaces.
Q: Is the clip left-hand friendly?
