Pros

Cold steel aus 10 is a good steel- it sharpens well and doesn't rust generally. Out of all the cold steel models equipped with tri-ad lock, the smoothest i have encountered so far is the sr1, effortlessly, like butter. It dwarfs the xl voyager clip po... Read More

The knife has very good craftsmanship. The history of the navajo knife is interesting. The espada i got made by cs is flawless.

If you want this knife don't hesitate. Just buy it lol. This thing is a bargain right now afaic.

Fits in the pocket of my cargo pants easily with about 2-3 inches protruding. I always have to take it off and bend it a bit to get it to actually come out of my pocket. They fit in my back pocket fairly easily.

The shape and feel of the g-10 is *. I prefer the xl espada to the rajah. The g10 is grippy without being too abrasive on your hand. The xl espada is just massive.

Cons

This is garbage from gsm buying out cold steel. But sharpness our of box is not worth the 100 extra bucks.

It is a great knife for the value.

You won't find it for any cheaper.

The price is really not bad for what you get.

Wish i would have bought 2 while they were at a bit lower price.

Got this yesterday and i honestly check the box to max sure i didn't order the xl and also measured the blade.

Competitiveness

I bought this one as well as the more expensive polished variant, and have to say i prefer this one.

I'm exchanging it for another espada xl and hoping that the craftsmanship is better.
