Are the lanyards for looks or function? I am thinking that it helps with the knife withdrawal and I might give it a try.
Sounds good to know. Making me excited to get one, haha.Carrying my new Air Lite today for the first time. I had to bend the end of the clip out a little to make it catch on my pants better. The g10 is less rough than my last Recon 1 g10 I bought about a year and a half ago. I believe this new smoother g10 May represent a general improvement in Cold Steel folders with these handles. Pivot was adjusted a bit and the lockup is now solid. The triad lock is also easier to disengage, which I noticed on my Recon 1 and Lawman that I bought most recently as opposed the the stiffer locks on my earlier models. Maybe this is another generalized improvement for Cold Steel.
I m also still carrying my Hold Out 3 loose in my pocket. I ve been carrying this little knife daily for the last several weeks. I using this knife for work much like some use their Grik or Tuff Lite. This is a great knife.
Good thing you got the Aus10a version! From my limited steel knowledge, I’d say that’s a little better than the CTS-BD1 version, haha.New Cold Steel landed today; the ubiquitous Rajah 3. Over-built quality at a super-reasonable price-point. This one came super-sharp, ask-me how I know. Raj gave me a get-acquainted nick!

All set-up, oiled, and ready to go. Sorry, I didn't grab one-of-these a long time-ago!

Very smooth out of the box and this is much improved from some older triad models.
I noticed this on some other recent CS acquisitions, including the 4-Max Scout, AD-10, and today's carry, an updated AUS-10 Rajah III. Seems like this might be a line-wide change? I never minded the stiffer locks (they always break in), but I also don't mind how smooth they are right out of the box these days.
Please shift to flat plunge lines next, Cold Steel!
