Cold steel espada xl - Cold Steel Espada XL AUS10A 7.5in Folding Knife

Cold espada xl is an excellent knife as all of cold steel products are. It a Huge knife that carries easier than you would think. In a self defense situation I’m sure it will intimidate the foe and may convince them to stand down. However if they choose to proceed you will be wielding a formidable weapon. My review is on the negative side however because the company used deceptive advertising. The picture was the blackout version but I received the satin finished one. In the description it says “black as if the blade is black. The handle is black so I guess it’s not an outright lie just slightly misleading. Also I went back and read more thoroughly and sure enough some fine print saying picture may not be accurate or whatever. So just make sure you’re getting what you’re looking for. I’m happy with the product and shipping was fast even with the pandemic. I just really wanted the all black and got the satin finish blade.
