Cold Steel, G-10 Folding Knife, X-Large Espada, 7 1/2" stonewashed Blade, Ambidextrous Stainless Pocket/Belt Clip

Well built

Super .

This is magnificent. It's the most overbuilt locker I've seen. It's huge, larger than I thought yet it still fits in my pocket and also much lighter than it looks. Doesn't pull my pocket clip down and also it won't accidentally fall out until I take it out. It also has a nice feature that with a little technique, will deploy while taking it out of my pocket one handed. If you need something overbuilt, ready in a second with maximum usage, this is worth it. If I saw someone pull this out of their pocket, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the pointy part... 5/5= reach 5/5=locker 4/5=discrete carry 5/5=carry-able, it's light enough to never have a reason to leave it at home 5/5=slicing steak, it will catch the attention of a few others at any BBQ when the host issues plastic knives for us. 5/5=value for this Espada... it's NOT for anyone who's never carried a pocket knife and if you're like me (whose had a folder since I was 4yo) it is the Claymore of folders.

Das legendäre Cold Steel Espada XL mag nicht billig sein, aber meiner Meinung nach ist es sein Geld wert. Der Griff ist wirklich genial, das Messer ist mit unterschiedlichen Griffpositionen sicher zu handhaben. Für das Backlock braucht es allerdings einen starken Daumen, Schwächlinge bekommen das nicht wieder auf. Allerdings ist mir bei so einer gewaltigen, scharfen Klinge ein starkes Backlock wesentlich lieber als irgendein klappriger Schrottsicherungsmechanismus.

Extremely good value for the money. I EDC the Espada XL and a serrated Tiger claw. Both of which are made by Cold steel. This is a very well made knife. Lock up is superb and very strong. There is no movement at all in the lock mechanism. The blade from tip to pivot is about 8 and 1/4 inches. From tip to end of the edge is 7 and a half inches. Overall length extended is about 17 in. It gives you about 13 in of reach when you're holding in a pistol grip. The blade came nearly razor sharp. It is a stone wash finish on the blade so it is not very reflective. The handle is it nicely textured very sturdy g10. There is a partial steel liner around the locking mechanism and the first half of the handle. The rest of the Spacer appears to be aluminum. The pocket clip is great for positioning the knife in the pocket for a draw. Or for positioning the knife caring it inside the waistband. I do not have a large enough thumb to open the blade using the thumb stud. I wave the knife open out of my pocket (with heavy pants or jeans that the material does not stretch). Or wave the knife out of my waistband (this works great if you have Dri-Fit stretchy pants on). The knife can also be flick open with inertia. Grip the handle tightly and snap your wrist or flick firmly downward and the blade will snap open (this is not a switchblade or a gravity knife it just takes technique to do so). This knife can be legally carried in several southeastern states. Including (Tennessee) as well as in California. This knife is great for defense and could also chop kindling in camp use aswell. The knife is very well balanced and has a thin profile. Most people think that it's maybe a cell phone in my pocket, if they see it at all. Great option for defense as a backup to a firearm or if it is your primary Carry. In places where it is against the law to carry a handgun. Very intimidating to looking at, which is perfect for violent conflict resolution in the street. Then everybody goes home safely with no issues. This is a very well-thought-out defensive knife. Definitely five stars! 👍
