Way down in the local regional park on the nature trail I found a clump of bamboo that must have been planted when the CCC camp was there. I am going to chop me a bamboo walking stick with the Rajah 2. I saw the youtube test of the knife and it held over 300 lbs with no lock failure. The new Tri-Ad lock CS is using seems to be even stronger than a framelock. The idea of a folding chopper that can be carried in a pocket is brilliant. Until this lock was developed, I don't think such a thing was possible.
