I freaking love mine. Awesome knife. People ask do you really need over 20 guns, hundreds edc and tactical knives and that crazy folding sword? My answer is yes. Yes I do.
😂🤝
Yes but I would really like a few more.
I carry two of them these days, but the G10 models. Also carry a Vaquero Voyager XL and a Frenzy. Hope to never use any of them for their intended purpose but if I do I’ll explain later. California laws are the worst. Since I’m allowed to carry big folders I will continue to do so.
Do you get stop pin rattle on yours?
It’s not hurting anyone but your pocket book 😂
It’s not hurting anyone so why not
“I don’t need it, but I want it”. That probably sums it up for most. It is literally impossible not to want this thing.
I don't 😂
@@EvilNick81 Who wouldn’t want a folder fit to slay a T-Rex! You Sir are in denial 🤣
@@leofedorov1030 the biggest I got from cold steel is a spartan and damn it's already a really big knife I can't imagine what the Espada feels like 😂😂
@@EvilNick81 Nice! Spartan is on my list. Does the clip destroy pocket similar to the Voyager line? I was lucky enough to snag a CS Eland, when they were still being made. Light as a feather pocket sword for 12 bucks!
@@leofedorov1030 the pocket clip on the spartan is stiff but the texture of the scales are smooth so it's not too bad for your pocket , i got a Rajah III too and that thing have destroyed 2 pair of work pants before I decided to sand down the texture on the scale underneath the pocket clip 😅🤣
3:36 I love how Lynn turns around and gives the expression of "buy my fucking sword knife"
This is the best knife for emergency defensive use. And it’s fun as hell to use for opening crap during edc tasks. Pocket deploy this and open a box for someone. It’s hilarious. I own two of them.
I used mine to cut a cigar one time. No joke.
I have two as well. Two is one, one is none. ;)
The ends are polished for your nuts pleasure!!!🤔🤔🙄
I’ve known about them for years and never considered buying one. But your comment made me reconsider👍🏻
@@elliotdryden7560 Oh boy do I feel this. I flip bali's and will drop $400+ on a good flipper only to tell myself I have to get a second one to actually use...
1:53 Most people might think you're extra well endowed - Mr Lynn Thompson
Classic 😁 👍 🙌
never lose your passion and excitement for knives lynn!!!!!
I just got this knife, absolutely BADASS. 100% worth worth it.
One of the best folders ever created.
I bought Coldsteel knives because of Lynn Thompson, the best salesman ever lived! I'm always sold by his videos.
Man I could watch Lynn on videos like this, for DAY'S 🗣💯‼️‼️‼️
I know right 🤙🏽
I wasn’t paying attention to the dimensions and I ordered one of these during a sale. We call it the pocket sword. I love it though.,
I bet that was quite a surprise! ⚔️
I've seen him in action in the states and Africa. He loves life and is a man's man. I've been collecting Cold Steel since 1980.
I FINALLY got an Espada xl about 6 months ago. I've wanted one for years,wish I hadn't waited so long. Awesome work guys, keep it up!
Dude it has been sold since 2008
@@TheVintagedudee Dude, I Like, know its been out for awhile...hence the "I've wanted one for years" Nice to see you read and understand a comment before replying to it.
@@iceheartfrost3740 sorry. I didnt sounded respectable. The Xl
Espada is a work of freaking art. And everybody is truely missing out if they dont want this lil pocket knife.
😀
The thing nobody asked for but will sell like hot cakes! Keep it up cold steel!
One on my bucket list, yet can never find one. It is such a gorgeous knife, and has my favorite locking system too!
Blade HQ has some in stock right now i think.
Put a thumb plate or wave opener on the recon line and the voyager line.
Buy a snaggletooth! All of mine have them!
Yes,and smooth out The G10 and put deep carry,low profile pocket clips on them for ease of access in and out of the pocket without ripping up the fabric of pants or jeans!!!!
And the American lawman.
Although I really want one, I just never really needed it as I can carry my trail master wherever I want. Keep up the great work guys!👍👍🤠⚔
Only started collecting some cold steel knives love then and love watching Lynn talk knives
Thanks Seb
Australia
Is it just me or does anyone else gets - an Elven Dagger vibe from this knife. Keep up the great work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm really liking the way cold steel is going. Thanks. I'm missing the espada xl with green scales and dlc coated blade. That would be nice to see that one come back too. Great video.
I simply love Cold Steel ❤️
Their products never let me down 👍
And im using them rough as a Bushcrafter...
Greetings from Austria Vienna ✌️
I have the flat g10 scales version. It’s an amazing knife but hard to conceal in a pocket. Maybe I’ll try the behind the belt trick
Doubt you can sit while it's inside your pants though
I own TWO OF THESE In S35VN and they are a dream to look at, whenever i go in to the city or Walks in the nightlife in the bigger city by myself.
The whole thought of carrying two gives so much satisfaction. I do it sometimes, I have some designer jeans with pockets big enough to fully Conceal this thing, and it is so Badass walking around, knowing that you can end a fight or conflict at the very upkeep just by drawing them.
Daaamn
SOOOOOON THAT IS FUUUUUUUUCKING SICK AND ILLEGAL
Yep, until the other guy pulls out a 9mm
@@user-dq3jk9py4q Bruuuh, in denmark, no one has guns🤣
i just found out CS was sold to GSM yesterday and decided it was time to get a bucket list blade, the espada xl. this knife is the embodiment of the cold steel brand and the eccentric person that is lynn thompson.
Bought a vintage one tonight. Thank you Cold Steel of the past!
Make a traditional Japanese style Tanto folding knife this size. I absolutely Love my Espada XL just wish there was a few different designs the same size.
Must have item!
The large g10 espada was my edc for a year and im still carrying it occasionally. I first wanted the fancy alumunimium version but that one was just way more expensive back then. Its very nice how one can carry it fully conceales in pocket when one doesnt use the pocket clip and it doesnt weight much for a full sized knife.
Glad to see both of you together
Awesome knife! :)
This lightsaber is my ENC go-to. "Every Night Carry". FAR more decisive in a dinner-table-distance clash than an equally concealable pistol. My old single stick cutlass drill dovetails perfectly with its capabilities.
Thank you Lynn and Andrew for bringing the Espada XL into this world!
So what you saying is that you have way to deploy this at certain way? Can you explain for us newbies please if you have time? Thank you in advance.
You're an absolute fool if you believe that, sword boy.
Monster.
I just uploaded my video of Lynn's Thompson saber. Cutting water bottles at speed off my ATV. One of my favorite sabers, won't let you down!⚔🐎👍🤠
can confirm the xl polished espada is one of the coolest knives ever.
I owned the non polished standard version and it just doesn't do the espada name justice. the fancy polished version is 10/10
Awesome demo! Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU COLD STEEL THIS KNIFE LOOKS GREAT.
Good see Lynn back in action! I own this in the AUS 10A version. Wish I had it with me when I got jumped in a parking lot a while back.
Carry your cold steel knifes every day you will be ready next time
@@Kyle-bb9zp I hear you bud! Sometimes I carry an XL Voyager or the BlackTalon as well!
@@steveo13757 that's cool I like that XL tanto fully serated lot of utility in that knife owned 2 of them and vecaro blade all where XL awesome knifes. Never owned one of the black talons.
@@Kyle-bb9zp Ha, I have that Tanto serrated XL as well. Check out the TigerClaw Karambit! That thing is more addictive than alcohol! Lol.
@@steveo13757 I will do that.
Lynn’s bottom lip when he gets in fighting mode is pure gold!!!
Black talon xl!
Fantastic defensive tool. No one will dare come close to you, once you pull out this beast. Its intimidating size alone can diffuse sticky situations.
Made my day...
Love my Espada xl.
Tired of small flimsy little knives?
Well... We were 🤣
It's so hard to find this bad boi in Russia
Really sad, but I promised for myself that I will buy this badass
Love seeing Lynn!
We need you guys to rerelease espada xl in g10 with a dlc coated s35vn. There used to be such model with a cts xhp blade.
Been looking at this knife for YEARS idk why I never got one...
Get one. You’ll love it
Same here , I have a large but I can't bring myself to by this
You will never regret owning one of these.
I have the medium and large ones, but yet to acquire an XL Espada.
Damnit, I'm saving up and getting one. I need a San Mai 3 outdoorsman from Japan. Love that knife.....
Just imagining a serrated Espada XL in the future. Hahaa
Perfect for processing small game 🐇 🦆
I like Lynn Thompson, wish one day I get Espada XL
Hello from Germany a really damn big knife that is almost a short sword again a good video 🤟😎
bought the serrated kobun not a month ago. Great knife!
Happy to have it.
This is the great soul of united heart on the american perspective for weapons/utillity. Combined with a great warriors envisioned ingeniure and weapon genius. In america they are always told that everything can be superzised. Now this is defienetly the case 😍😍
Just got mines. Though, i ordered the the G10 version.
It's even more lightweight. I like how dark an discreet it is. Including the blade. It's also entirely grippable. No worries of sweaty hands an sliding off. I feel confident holding this beast.
I have lusting after that thing for a decade. Since the first time I saw one. If I had the money I’d own five.
You gotta love Lynn, he always knows how to markets his knives even if he does exaggerate a bit about slicing limbs off into the next jungle!))))
MOST DEFINITELY impressive!
awesome demonstration
Espada XL is my favorite knife,,period
Wow Nice looking Blade!😍
Lynn is Cold Steel, no question about it and this video proves it.
I just love my cold steel collection and my carry house knife is the "Frenzy".
YEAH MAN!! LOVE IT
Great video!
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
Best Knives for my money! I own a few Cold Steel knives. They do it Right.
I love this knife, and would love to buy the aus10a version when you guys start making more.
They have been making them in un polished G - 10 for 8 + years
i respect the espada xl too the fullest but i will stay with my xl vaager serrated edge tanto and clip point
Beautiful knife. The pretty one can be your fancy BBQ knife while the G-10 can be your worker...hope to get one someday....
I own and love this knife.
Lynn the man, the legend!
Damn thats some master Knife opening there when it flips open outta the pocket
Ah, Recon 1 in this size would look soooo nice. But we don't seem to have even Recon 1 XL anymore :(
they pop up on ebay all the time if you keep looking
Ive been wanting a bowie....I think a folding bowie might be the answer for my next idc knife.
So so Awesome
I have the G10 Aus10 version (in XL and Large) I cant think of anything they can’t do lol they are both awesome!!!
@@Iamskiingwithstyle There's a brand New in box large black G-10 CTS-XHP Espada on Ebay right now.
@@Iamskiingwithstyle in UK
hey guys, i would like to see Kukri la Fontaine in various strength and shear tests please
Such a legendary folder. Would gladly pay extra for an Espada XL package that includes a Secure-Ex IWB sheath! Make it happen. :)
For a folding knife?
@@taylorjeremy71 Yes sir! Had an “auto deploy” IWB kydex sheath custom made for my 5.5” Espada. (Some pockets are too shallow for those big folders. Plus there’s the benefit of zero visibility.) 😎
Cold Steel quality appears to have been maintained. Some of the new stuff appears to be better - and at better prices. I approve of the promotion of "stick boy" to "Stick Man".
Can y’all make more XL knife models that are similar but not too similar to the espada, just overall Design a massive folder I’m able to carry with me and when I pull it out I feel like I have a sword
Love it 👍
Got to love Lynn
Please re-run this whole line . I want the small and medium but don't want to pay 300-400$ for it . Love my large and working up the courage to get this beast
Have to get one
I love and carry my cold steel knives Espada xl g10 and 6 inch T-lite EDC basis
Bring out a new X2 Voyager! Also would be awesome to see Cold Steel make an OTF! Been on a OTF kick for the last year or so. Got 10 of them now. That new SOG Pentagon OTF is pretty awesome. They need to learn how to sharpen them though. I had to make mine sharp. But the lockup is 100%. I know you guys could make a great one if you decided to do it. Hope someday you guys do.
That thing is Sick ❤
I Love my Espada XL
Nice
I have the g10 stonewashed version espada XL
I just got mine today. And boy i love it. But the pin at the tri ad lock makes a weird sound when i shake the knive (only if its closed). Now i got to dismantel it and look why it makes that sound
Would love to see the mirror polished finish again. Like the old days
Jimislash! You made it brother! Yewww!
I went with the Counter Point XL with the AUS10 blade. The size and steel quality is more than adequate and it's affordable
coooool!!!
This is borderline a Tim and Eric skit. Lmao I realized it at the end when they said, "tired of dainty little knives? Well we were..."
The cold steel espada...... the only knife that could stop a gun fight 😂
That is so true. With a hand that's been cut off"" you can't pull the trigger of a gun
@@johncarter6238 "the enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand"
I would like to see the outdoorsman vg-10 san mai back. Without the bone crusher edge. And also the boomerangs would be nice to be back. Sold out in most online stores
With this knife, everybody can be five years old again and holding pappap's pocket knife.
Kitch and fun aside, that snap cut is immensely impressive.
