The Cold Steel Espada XL (brand part no. CS62MA) is a large folding knife inspired by the classical Navaja knives of Spain, reimagined with thoroughly modern materials and construction. It’s the product of a design collaboration between custom knife maker Andrew Demko and Cold Steel president Lynn C. Thompson, and the results show in every detail.
