Cold Steel - Espada Series

We are proud to present the largest of our legendary Tactical Folding knives -- the XL Espada!
Appearing like a flash from your pocket and securely locking closed with its distinctive snap it's a true "pocket sword" worthy of the name Espada!

Like the swords of old, our Espada's are not for the weak, timid, faint of heart or those desiring another spring assisted play toy. Just pick one up and you'll see what we mean!
These huge yet surprisingly well balanced knives feature a dramatically upswept clip point blade that is ideal for cutting, slashing and piercing. Made from vacuum heat-treated and sub-zero quenched Japanese 8A stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin, razor sharp edge, they are as fast and ferocious as they are attractive.
The Espadas state of the art pistol grip handles are strongly curved and equipped with multiple finger grooves and a sub-hilt that gives unprecedented retention and reach through multiple grip options.
Their CNC machined frames and integral bolsters are made from 7075 Aluminum billets. Rivalling Titanium in strength, they can endure many years of even the hardest use. Finally, we mirror polish the dovetailed bolsters and attach high gloss black G-10 handle scales using the latest high tech fasteners.
We place great value on our customers' fingers, and we don't believe any razor sharp tactical folder should be produced without possessing an incredibly strong and reliable lock. That's why we have equipped the Espada with our multi-patented TRI-AD lock. Designed by Andrew Demko, the TRI-AD is unsurpassed in the industry, and remains to this day the strongest, safest locking mechanism in the world
Strong, safe, sharp and truly battle ready, we are proud to present the only folding knife in the world worthy of the term "pocket sword" -- the XL Espada!
