Large Espada G-10 (AUS10A)

We have never been afraid to break with convention. That’s why, when everyone else in our industry made the smallest, flimsiest, dainty little knives that they could, we released a series of blades that could only be described as one thing - pocket swords!The Cold Steel Espada was inspired by the classical Navaja knives of Spain, but was utterly modern in both appearance and materials. These mega-folders took the market by storm! A design collaboration between custom knife maker Andrew Demko and Cold Steel President Lynn C. Thompson, our Espadas are available in two sizes to suit both the bold and the boldest of individuals! Despite their imposing size, our Espada are expertly designed to fit comfortably and discreetly in your pocket. You’ll soon forget that you are carrying such a large and impressive blade.Equipped with the patented Demko Thumb Plate, the Large and Extra Large Espadas can be snagged on your pocket, opening the knife as you draw it - and opening in the blink of an eye!The Espada’s beautiful blades are made from premium American S35VN Alloy Steel - chosen for its ability to not only take a super-fine cutting edge, but to hold it for an exceptionally long time.They also feature expertly polished G-10 scales and mirror polished 7075 Aluminum bolsters and frame. Each Espada is equipped with our patented Tri-Ad locking mechanism, proven to have amazing shock resistance and strength. In our own notoriously brutal product testing, the XL Espada was not only capable of holding 600lbs of free hanging weight, but we even used it to support a hanging engine block!

Due to popular demand, the Red Wood Iaito is now offered as Wakizashi. Thus, this beautiful training sword training is now available to the wider public. The name derives from the dull, brownish-red lacquered sheath, in which the grain of the wood is still clearly visible. The sword blade in Shinogi-Zukuri style has a groove (Bo-Hi), is hand forged, blunt and made of 420 stainless steel. The handle wrapping is made of black cotton in a classic Hineri Maki style. In the red-brown, matt lacquered sheath in Cha-Sti Ishimi style the wood grain is still visible. Due to the long tang, which is fixed in the handle with two bamboo pins (Mekugi), the sword is fully demountable. There is no plastic used, only high-quality, authentic materials are used. The blade clamp (Habaki) and washers (Seppa) are made of brass. The traditional handle wrapping is lined with authentic ray skin. All decorations (Tsuba, Fuchi, Menuki, Kashira) are made of metal. Supplied with protective fabric cover in a nice collectors box. Each original John Lee sword features a seal and a certificate. Details: Overall length (without sheath): approx. 78 cm Blade length: approx. 52.5 cm Handle Length: approx. 25 cm Blade Material: 420 steel Handle Material: Cotton wrapping lined with ray skin Weight (without sheath): approx. 880 g
