ESPADA LARGE G-10 (AUS10A)
Cold Steel has never been afraid to break with convention. That's why, when everyone else in the industry made the smallest, flimsiest, dainty little knives that they could, Cold Steel released a series of blades that could only be described as one thing - pocket swords! 

The Cold Steel Espada was inspired by the classical Navaja knives of Spain but was utterly modern in both appearance and materials. These mega-folders took the market by storm! A design collaboration between custom knifemaker Andrew Demko and Lynn C. Thompson, the Espadas are available in two sizes to suit both the bold and the boldest of individuals! Despite their imposing size, they are expertly designed to fit comfortably and discreetly in your pocket. You'll soon forget that you are carrying such a large and impressive blade. Equipped with the patented Demko Thumb Plate, the Large and Extra Large Espadas can be snagged on your pocket, opening the knife as you draw it - and opening in the blink of an eye! The Espada's beautiful blades are made from Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel. Each Espada is equipped with the patented Tri-Ad locking mechanism, proven to have amazing shock resistance and strength. In their own notoriously brutal product testing, the XL Espada was not only capable of holding 600lbs of free hanging weight, but they even used it to support a hanging engine block!

Another amazing example of a knife! She's an absolute BEAST in the best sense of the word. In a world of cookies cutter knives this blade stands head and shoulders above all other folders......and many fixed blades.

I bought this a long time ago, so I'm glad to see these coming back around again. This thing fits in my jean pockets and my shorts pockets with no problem. Even though it's a bigger knife, the way it folds up, there's actually room in my pocket. The size alone when unfolded is a great deterrent. When you hear that thing snap in place, you know you have a serious blade in your hand, because this thing is no joke. Carry this every day when I'm not at work.

I bought this knife 3 months ago on other reviews. It’s a large, strongly built folding knife. It will do anything from making kindling to self defense purposes with ease. I personally think the Espada Large is the more practical and functional knife. The XL to Me is too much folding knife. The large carries easily and comfortably. Steel quality is an excellent choice too! My only was it didn’t come as sharp as I had expected. I did remedy that quick. And it took an excellent edge easily. You can’t go wrong with this do anything knife.

I purchased this COLD STEEL LARGE ESPADA (CTS-XHP) in… man… I cannot remember… I think I purchased this COLD STEEL LARGE ESPADA (CTS-XHP) in… somewhere between 2014-2016 gosh it’s been so long. So anyway, you know I have had this EXCELLENT QUALITY KNIFE for a long time… because I just checked back on COLD STEEL’S website to possibly purchase more of these CTS-XHP knives only to find out they use S35VN steel because it’s similar to CTS-XHP and more accessible than CTS-XHP to prevent longer wait times for customers while still providing a premium steel in their knives. So I’m going to purchase this COLD STEEL LARGE ESPADA G-10 in the S35VN steel. I’ll pay the higher price for the higher quality, strength, toughness and durability and higher edge retention. And I am purchasing the COLD STEEL TIGER CLAW in the S35VN steel to see the similarities and/or differences in it in comparison to CTS-XHP steel. This COLD STEEL LARGE ESPADA G-10 (CTS-XHP) IS THE MOST RAZOR SHARPEST KNIFE I OWN (I have about 12 knives total). AND THIS IS THE SHARPEST KNIFE I HAVE EVER OWNED! And I have been buying and collecting knives since I was 9 and I am over 30 now. This COLD STEEL LARGE ESPADA G-10 (CTS-XHP) knife is EXTREMELY RAZOR! RAZOR! SHARP! It slices through things EASILY AND EFFORTLESSLY! I ONLY PURCHASE FOLDING KNIVES FROM COLD STEEL! WHY? ……… THE TRI-AD LOCKING SYSTEM. THANK YOU ANDREW DEMKO, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE WORKED AT COLD STEEL AND THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE AT COLD STEEL! THANK YOU LYNN THOMPSON! CONTINUE HOLDING THIS COMPANY TO THE HIGHER STANDARD. This knife is extremely strong! That snap this thing makes thanks to the Tri-Ad locking system designed by Andrew Demko is LOUD! I LOVE IT! You can feel and hear the POWER OF THAT LOUD SNAP! And you know… yeah this thing ain’t breaking. And this thing really can hold 600lbs. VERY CREATIVE! AND VERY INNOVATIVE! NO ONE IN THE INDUSTRY EVEN HAS A CHANCE AS OF NOW TO TOP IT. I use this knife as an EDC. I always have it on me. I have it in my bag, in my pocket, I also have my COLD STEEL TIGER CLAW (CTS-XHP) in my pocket ALL THE TIME since I got that one in 2019-2020 (A Birthday present for myself). The knives you see in the photos I always have on me or in my bag. And I have had them for a long time and they have served me well. You really feel confident knowing you have a strong, tough, premium high quality tool / weapon on you that will crush almost any task you have for it to do. This COLD STEEL LARGE ESPADA G-10 Flat Dark Earth color in the CTS-XHP steel was actually a Limited Edition model that COLD STEEL released YEARS AGO and I was thinking about buying it right then… or if I should wait and purchase it later… I purchased it NOW. And I am glad I did because now it is no longer available. And this is my SHARPEST KNIFE EVER! FOR REAL! NO EXAGGERATION. The handle ergonomics are just perfect! You can hold it in the middle and the knife will feel VERY BALANCED in hand and as you doing maneuvers. Hold the perfect ergonomic handle toward the rear for real hard POWER CHOPS and POWER SLASHES! The thumb plate catches on your jeans / pants when pulled out of pocket and will SNAP OUT AND DEPLOY THE BLADE! That Andrew Demko Thumbplate is so cool. And it provides a good place to rest your thumb when holding the knife in the middle of the handle (the balanced grip). Mine has finally gotten loose after 7 years. Just take an Allen wrench (the hexagon shaped tool) and tighten it up…two thumbs up! THANK YOU ANDREW DEMKO! THANK YOU LYNN THOMPSON! THANK YOU TO ALL AT COLD STEEL WHO ARE WORKING THERE AND WHO HAVE WORKED THERE… THANK YOU! DON’T FALL BEHIND COLD STEEL! KEEP CREATING THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND THE MOST STRONGEST, SHARPEST, TOUGHEST, MOST DURABLE KNIVES AND SWORDS. KEEP PRODUCING THE BEST HIGH QUALITY KNIVES AND SWORDS WITH UNMATCHED INNOVATION COLD STEEL. WE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU. I RECOMMEND YOUR KNIVES AND SWORDS TO ALL FRIENDS WHO LOVE KNIVES AND SWORDS… ESPECIALLY FOLDING KNIVES… AND THAT’S ONLY BECAUSE OF THE TRI-AD LOCKING SYSTEM. KEEP OT FOREVER IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE SOMETHING EVEN MORE STRONGER, TOUGHER, AND DURABLE. Whatever your budget is there is a COLD STEEL product for you. Remember when you pay for a higher quality steel in a COLD STEEL Knife YOU GET THE HIGH QUALITY YOU PAY FOR! And for their swords too! Thank You again COLD STEEL. DO NOT HESITATE if you are thinking about spending more money for a higher quality steel in a knife or sword from COLD STEEL… THEY ARE WORTH IT! AND THEY WILL PROTECT YOU WELL AND SERVE YOU WELL FOR YEARS. FOR YOU AND THE ONES YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT. BE SAFE AND TRAIN WITH YOUR WEAPON!

So they finally brought back the Espada. I had to buy this knife second hand because they stopped making them for a while. This knife is a large knife, bid intimidation factor, but it fits in your pocket like an Iphone would. Sleek and sharp, great for my every day carry.
