    Keep in mind the Large model also has the exact same build dimensions as this... the XL is just longer. So you could have an even higher strength/weight ratio in that knife. Immensely impressive, boys. Great job designing this knife Andrew. It's a masterpiece.

    Espada was my first Cold Steel product. It is really been a great knife. Even now, it's still my favorite of all my blades.

    Watching this video while owning one of these is such an amazing feeling (it’s a different feeling watching it before you actually own one) my suggestion: GET YOURSELF ONE (or 5 😆) ASAP!!!

    This knife is still my largest & most impressive folding blade knife in my collection, which includes way more blades than anybody should own. Because of your aggressive testing procedures & your confidence doing so, I have come to trust & value all of the Cold Steel products that I have collected over the decades. I will be proud & confident to pass these knives down to my Grandkids when the time comes!!!

      Homme Des Cavernes -
      Look at the competitions' ads in magazines, online, or even on TH-cam itself. It's been happening for ages - which is one of the reasons Lynn Thompson got started in the blade business. He wanted more for his money as a consumer, and knew he could bring superior blades/weapons onto the market for fair prices.

    I have several Cold Steel knives, the best on the planet. I also have a 4Max, that knife tested a max weight of 808 pounds, and has titanium components. How the hell did they get so close in weight holding with essentially an aluminum knife of such proportions? Cold Steel all the way, ps could you send me one for a Christmas present, please, pretty please with sugar on top...

    • @TheJerry834

    • @cdawson198600

      Homme Des Cavernes not a titanium blade but the frame and lock.

      Homme Des Cavernes my dream would be the SR1 with titanium lock and liners, maybe they’ll start using titanium in the lock someday.

    • @TheJerry834
      @TheJerry834 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      cdawson198600 If I may ask, do you break knife locks very often? Imo Ti locks are just unnecessary. Would drive price way up and for what, so that my folder is able hold the weight of a baby elephant? Nah.

    • @soulzzplaysgames
      @soulzzplaysgames 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You see the small plate on the spine of the blade? They call it a thumb plate. You can use your thumb to open it one handed like usual, but when you carry it in your pocket and pull the knife out, it catches the side of your pocket and opens the knife for you on the way out.
