Cold Steel Espada Large Folding Knife Clip Point Black - Durable, Lightweight and Reliable Handle - CS-62MGD

Cold Steel has never shied away from pushing boundaries. While others focused on small, delicate knives, Cold Steel introduced what can only be described as pocket swords. Inspired by Spain's classical Navaja knives but updated with modern materials and aesthetics, the Cold Steel Espada series revolutionized the market with its imposing presence. Designed in collaboration between custom knifemaker Andrew Demko and Lynn C. Thompson, the Espada knives are available in two sizes to cater to both bold and daring individuals. Despite their substantial size, these knives are expertly crafted to fit comfortably and discreetly in your pocket, offering impressive carry convenience. Equipped with the patented Demko Thumb Plate, the Large and Extra Large Espadas can be smoothly deployed as they are drawn from your pocket, opening swiftly with exceptional speed. The blades of the Espada knives are crafted from Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, renowned for its durability and sharpness retention. Each Espada features Cold Steel's patented Tri-Ad locking mechanism, celebrated for its extraordinary shock resistance and strength. In rigorous testing, the XL Espada demonstrated its robustness by supporting an impressive 600 lb of hanging weight and even serving as a support for a suspended engine block, an unequivocal testament to its durability and reliability in the most demanding scenarios.
