I'd wager the Espada XL is a much heavier knife. The blade may be shorter but perhaps twice as wide and nigh on twice as thick if my eyes don't deceive me. It's a different beast and a bit more of a wall hanger. I love mine but I very rarely carry it or use it, seems there's always a better option to hand. This Navaja looks and sounds next level.
I read somewhere that at night the only way to tell if one of these had been pulled on you was by the clicking sound... but once it got to that part... it may be too late to do anything

Solo con oir el sonido , al abrirse , al contrario , le tiemblan las piernas . Precioso " Bardeo " que para quien no lo sepa es el nombre que recibe la navaja cuando se usa como arma de defensa .
El acero toledano es de espadas. Las navajas, de Albacete. Aunque hay muchos tipos, clases y fabricantes, la emblemática de Albacete es esa que suena así cuando se abre. Quién lleve una, y la saque ufffff que no sea contra tí. En España si la policía te pilla por la calle con una de ese tamaño te puede hasta detener e incautarla. Está prohibido portarlas porque se considera un arma. Saludos

@@stephenbrown1389 Gracias señor Brown por recordarnos " Bodas de sangre" del gran Federico , que solo vivió 38 años , si hubiera vivido otros 38 cuanta belleza nos habria dejado. Salud .
Federico García Lorca hacía numerosas referencias a esta herramienta. La portaban las personas por la prohibición y la dificultad de portar espadas. La navaja protagonizó ajustes de cuentas y peleas de todo tipo en esa época no se podía bromear con personas armadas con cosas así. García Lorca habló mucho de esa época.
It almost looks more like a serdañi to me, but that is my preferred blade style. IIRC the navaja has a bit less of a tip, being a slashing/chopping weapon. The puñal was for stabbing, and the serdañi the balance between the two.
Your words speak for a connoisseur. That pleases me. From my extensive experience: if you have a Navaja Arab, you don't need a second knife. BUT "even the best knife is only as good as your hand can hold it. Greetings and thanks for watching.👍👋
I have Cold Steel espada, which i think was modelled on that knife 🔪 or something similar. I like your knife and looks like it has a strong mechanism as well!
@@MilanRovinj Hvala na gledanju. Nažalost proizvodnja Navaja ARABE ovih veličina je obustavljena.

As he was opening the knife and it went Click Click Click. That is one sound you do not want to hear on a dark night, in a Spanish town :) I most likely will never have one. But I do have the Cold Steel Espada XL, and it is close. Blade is not quite as long, and its wider. But its still a Fighting Knife, and Lynn Thompson, former owner of Cold Steel, designed it to be.
Yes. The Navaja Arabe has written a turbulent history... but your Cold Steel is close to it. The long knife handle gives many possibilities to practice the appropriate fighting technique. (I watched your videos) 😊👍👋
Interesting knife but why is there a bolster in the middle of the handle? I know it is a work of art but to my untrained eye it seems like two different handles have been joined together instead of one uninterrupted handle scale on each side.
I’m going to review your videos, but where do you get your Spanish knives?? I’m searching the web now. Is there a website you recommend for your Navajas etc
I enjoy the quality of this entire knife, it is spectacular, but still not the biggest if that was what you were after, I’ve seen one approximately 6 foot in the states.
