This Folding Knife is so good it's Literally illegal...But we couldnt resist.

Cold Steel makes some crazy knives... from machete's to katana's... and... to one of the biggest folders one can buy. The Espada XL in S35VN. This €650,- folder is a beast... so big and beasty actually that it's illegal in the Netherlands! But as DBK it is of course our duty to test this knife to it's limits and see if it is worth your money right!? So let's see if we can destroy this folder!!

I love how Cold Steel is the knife company to turn to when you want to just be ridiculous but also when you're actually serious. If I was going on a legit survival trip or something of the sort and was taking a folder it'd probably be either my American Lawman, my Code 4, or AD10.

[@nasty98772]

Which of the three would be most durable?

[@DL-ij7tf]

@@nasty98772 Almost certainly the AD10 for overall comfort and strength. Its the largest and has full aluminum liners inside the G10. You can get a really solid grip, almost like a good fixed blade handle. The Code 4's handles are solid aluminum which is strong but the over knife profile is so thin that you won't be able to grip it as tightly (and it's painful to try) and they're slick. The Am. Lawman has G10. All have the same blade steel and are stout but the ranking would be the same. The Am. Lawman is the easiest to carry though I'd say. The AD10 is pretty big for pocket carry but doable. I daily carry my Code 4 since it's in the middle and the least expensive, I got it to not be shy about "abusing" it. Also it has a great spine for firesteels and scraping.

That's bullshit

[@gaslampnation735]

Interesting you say that. The Espada XL is a modern format of the Spanish Navaja. The Navaja was a knife carried by the peasant class because only royalty were allowed to carry swords. To even the playing field with some arrogant prince subjecting his serfs to his tyrannical whims, the Navaja’s were made ridiculous large. Humans are basically useless without their tools and naturally the tools are an extension of the human. It is only natural to defend ones life tooth and claw so to speak. It is another thing entirely to be subject to Institutional Violence. As Kung Fu Kane was taught when robbed on the darkened path with his master, some arrogance can not be tolerated.

[@chemislife]

@@gaslampnation735 That is also not the only instance of the peasants getting crafty with knives. A german Messer was developed for the same reason. The awkward handle is because it had to have a handle of a knife in order to skirt the laws banning swords from the general public.

I heard the Saxon's who wore the seax on their hip constantly used it to not only reap a harvest but have a weapon at a moments notice should marauders come rolling through. interestingly in their culture you could differentiate between a slave and a free man based of weather they were carrying a seax. but even when folks are totally oppressed they make due in numbers. the greatest weapon of mass destruction in its day was the war scythe. just a reaper Sycle pointed up instead of a hook. check out the old paintings. a ghastly sight. they tried to outlaw those too. you can have it but it cant point up... all this sounds too familiar...

[@kongandbasses8732]

@@junichiroyamashita This is quite complicated, with a lots of exceptions. General rule says: 12 cm blade length max, no one handed folders, no double edged daggers. No concealed carry, knives longer than 12 cm have to be carried in an enclosure if you want to go to crowded aereas. Let's say, no Bowie knife on your belt if you go grocery shopping in the supermarket. But having the knife in a Rucksack makes it OK. For the blade length there are so much exceptions like fotoshooting, knives you use for work, hunting, regional customs and my favorite, the "cause of general use". Like when I go for walk in the forrest with my dog, and I want to cut a stick for the good boy, or if I intend to eat an apple and cutting it into slices before eating, I am allowed to carry literally everything, but no daggers and one hand opening folders. For one hand opening folders I just dismount the thumbstuds, and everything is fine and lawful. The officials state that the law is not to punish serious knive users, but to give the authorities something that they are able to confiscate knives from people with "bad intention". By the way, knives are not seen as weapons but as tools, so they do not fall under weapons law. Machetes are under no restriction whatsoever. You are free to carry them.

As a 67 year old I can easily recall several times I experienced " buyer's remorse " after a purchase. I own both versions of Cold Steel's Espada XL and with all honestly I tell you the Espadas are a joy to own. I carry the Aus 10 in my pocket every day. The S35vn version is too pretty to scratch up with everyday carry , but if I anticipated an elevated necessity for me to have my best with me.....the S35vn would easily replace the Aus 10 with no difference in handling experience. The Navaja ( upon which the knife is based ) was an everyday carry of Spanish design for the common citizens who were prohibited from carrying swords . Cold Steel's perceived " unconventional " designs are well rooted in historical configurations of which the average public may be unaware of. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it's outlandish.

I have a friend who’s fairly tall and can daily carry this in his front pocket which he does all year round, he was involved in a motorcycle accident (he’s fully recovered) and he slid on this knife which ground the pocket clip right off, and it’s still held up perfectly fine otherwise and he still carries it to the day.

I think it’s funny that(at least when I looked into it) one in Florida can only carry an automatic knife with a CCW permit. My tiny Boker AK-47 auto is a more dangerous weapon than the Espada

“This wood is so hard. That’s why we took it out.” Very classy, boys. 🪵

[@NoBrakes23]

This reminds me of US car videos that say, "Filmed in Mexico," to avoid legal issues.

[@rosscurran5650]

I live in the UK and I have the g10 version, not illegal to own but highly illegal to carry. In the UK you can only carry a non locking 3 inch blade. Legally of course

[@naleenperera9902]

Have the large and XL g 10s,but illegal to go out with them unless camping.

This knife is taking me all kinds of places

[@Mark008able]

There's no better example of the slippery slope than this; first they make knives illegal, then they make farms and food illegal lol. Great knife though!

[@jamesmiddleton6464]

This has been a grail knife for me since it was first made. I couldn't help but wince when you batoned on the steel barrel.

Nice to see Cold Steel still killing it. Lynn Thompson is the man.

[@couchcamperTM]

only one problem: Lynn sold CS to a company that doesn't care if they sell knives or liver pate. CS is not what it used to be and will never be again. Just a brand with a great reputation from the past... We can be glad if the new owners keep these special blades in the catalogue. If we get very lucky, CS will not become the next Gerber (remember, the company which built great knives in the... 70s...)

@@couchcamperTM Yes. I hate the new owner. The spokesperson, "Stticks", is a douche

If you like big folders I would recomend Cold Steel Luzon. I bought it as a joke becouse o the size and good price, but I love it. I have it everyday with me. Great size for a pocket knife. It make me smile everytime I open it.

[@KingKiavash]

The test results are crazy.

[@andrewtucker7990]

I love this knife. I own one. So glad it's not illegal where I'm from. The lock is strong as hell, made from great steel. I've used mine pretty hard but damn sure not gonna abuse it. Cold steel makes some high quality knives, axes, hatchets, swords, etc.

[@alvaro7765]

The knife was inspired by "navajas" from the south of Spain specially from Albacete this is why it is called Espada which is means sword in spanish

[@coldstiil]

Grown ups making expensive knife destruction videos. I luv it. Tanx know I have to put the Espada XL on the list to Santa.

Fight…for your right… to paaaaaaaaarty! (with. a large folder)

[@MrSzundaraj]

thanks for reminding me how much i regret selling my g10 version...

[@markusbrunner9170]

I'm really happy to live in Austria-where nearby every knives are legal and also legal to carry Thanks for testing this

[@charlesdeshler202]

I love those big cold steel knives
