The Cold Steel Espada XL (brand part no. CS62MGC) brings the same Navaja-inspired design as the rest of the Espada line into a more accessible AUS-10A steel package, giving buyers the large-format folder’s striking looks and Tri-Ad lock security at a lower price point than the flagship S35VN version. It’s the product of a design collaboration between custom knife maker Andrew Demko and Cold Steel president Lynn C. Thompson, and every detail reflects that pedigree. Expertly polished G-10 scales and mirror-polished 7075 aluminum bolsters and frame give it the same head-turning presence as its more premium sibling.
