Thank you! And, thank you for watching. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

I love the Espapa's, too; they are great CS Mega's. I've always loved the Spanish Style Navaja Folders; I have a few "Real" one's. :) I ought to do a Video with the one's I have. But, the CS Versions are much better quality, just like the CS Ti-Lite VI is to most "Real" Italian Folding Stilettos... :) They're just fancier and more classic than the CS Versions. :) Here's a Video of my Espada's, old and new: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZmorK1my8q6dac.html & kzfaq.info/get/bejne/graUftqBzb7FaYE.html I still have the old one's and I love my new one's. Peace, Stiletto :)

Right on! I'm glad I was able to help out. I've always heard of the wild prices overseas. Your XL Tanto can do anything the Recon 1 version can do. I have both. But, the Voyager is in my EDC drawer and the Recon's are in my Safe... Right on, Bro! Peace, Stiletto :)

I keep one of my XL Tanto Voyagers in my Bug Out Bag, that rides in my trunk, everyday. And, I always carry the a Large Tanto Voyager in my Fanny Pack, when I ride my Bike. I keep a XL Recon 1 Tanto in my glove box; I love my CS Tantos... Right on! Peace, Stiletto :-)

I use wooden popsicle sticks. Right on. Make them yours. I like to do the same thing. Often, I will buy used or slightly damaged one's, cheap, on eBay, and refurbish them. Often, I will polish them when they are scratched or damaged. It's a fun hobby. Well done. Peace, Stiletto :-)

Right on, Bro! The XL Tanto Voyager rides in the trunk of my Car, in my Bug Out Bag, every day. It's my emergency go to Folder. Right on! XL Voyagers, "ROCK!!!" Peace, Stiletto :-)

Right on! Thank you for watching. Merry Christmas! Peace, Stiletto :-)

Absolutely, Bro. And, my Collection is an accumulation of knives, that I have Collected during my lifetime; I have always been a Lover of the Blade... :-) :-) :-) And, your taste and choices are, to me, awesome blade choices. I absolutely luv all the one's you mentioned. One thing that I have noticed, since I started trying out different Lock Types and Manufacturers, is that Andrew Demko/Cold Steel (CS) Tri-Ad Lock Folders are the strongest and most durable lock type that I have ever experienced on any folder. And, the Tri-Ad self adjust. Not all of the new lock types self adjust. And, the one's that do, don't self-adjust as well as the Cold Steel Tri-Ad Lock does. I think it would be very cool if Cold Steel created a Flipper Folder with some type of self adjusting Tri-Ad Lock... If you can, check out the S.O.G. Twitch's locking mechanism. To me, it looks a lot like a Tri-Ad Flipper... It just needs to be built by the Folding Knife Lock Master, Andrew Demko... You have a great plan, Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

@@Kris_Stiletto Thanks, man! I always love your feedback. And you are right. The TriAd lock is the best way to go. Lynn Thompson was smart to get Andrew Demko on his team. Demko took Cold Steel to another level with lock strength. I have had the Kudu with the Ring Lock, the Pocket Bushman with the Ram Safe Lock. But now, ALL of my folding knives are equipped with TriAd locks. You just can't go wrong with them. I buy knives, and I also sell knives on the side. And I tell my clients that the TriAd lock is the one you can rely on in a pinch. You may have some duds; people are not perfect so some slip through the cracks. But for the most part, Cold Steel knives with the TriAd lock give little or no problems. I love it! It is my favorite locking mechanism for a folder.

Absolutely agree, Bro. Lots of the other folding lock types are much more fun to fidget with. But, when it comes to ounce for ounce folding lock strength, the Andrew Demko/Cold Steel Tri-Ad is super hard to beat. Other, real good, lock types require a very strong SS liners, components, and hardware to be strong. That ends up making a very heavy folder for it's size... With the Tri-Ad, you don't need heavy SS liners and other over built parts to make a strong folder. And, then, as we have seen in many challenges between CS Tri-Ad Folders vs Other's, the Tri-Ad, in it's weight class, is unbeatable. That's the big reason why I like them. They can be light for their size and stronger than anything else in their weight class... Andrew Demko is the Folding Knife Lock Master. And, he designs knives that are comfortable in hand and have good balance. Other Knife Designers and Makers can make them fancier, prettier, and more fun to fidget with. But, nobody makes them better or stronger; Andrew Demko, "ROCKS!!!" :-) Peace, Stiletto :-) My wish would be for GSM CS to make a line of Premium Tri-Ad, Scorpion, and Shark-Lock Folders in the United States. Much like Brian Tighe does with his U.S. Made Mid-Techs... I would be all into those... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

Yes! I love the Tanto Voyagers! Well done; enjoy! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

Me, too... :-) I pretty much absolutely luv all of the Cold Steel Mega Folders; I pretty much have several of all of them... Though, the one's I carry the most are my Tanto and Drop Point Voyagers. I like that they're inexpensive (if they get confiscated) and have awesome Tri-Ad Locks, Handle Grips, and Blades. But, I absolutely luv all of the Mega's from Cold Steel. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

American CTS-XHP XL Recon 1. I have an all black one; that's my favorite XL Recon 1. But, I carry, everyday, in my Bug Out Bag, an XL Japanese AUS 10A Tanto Voyager. :-)

I luv the French Folders, too... I have a small Collection of Classic Folders from around the World, also. Great choices! I absolutely luv Deutschland. I am a U.S. Army Veteran, that spent 2 years in Dexheim, Germany. I was with the 8th Infantry Division. And, I was Stationed at the Anderson Barracks, with the 12th Engineers from 1979 to 1982. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

@@Kris_Stiletto In 1982 I was in the German Army on the Tender Main on the Baltic Sea. Unfortunately, the one-handed knives from a certain size are now banned here for some time, but since I'm a hobby nature photographer I hardly ever meet police anyway and I just take it with me.

Right on, Bro! I was a Combat Tank and Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic during my first Enlistment. Awesome, Bro! Peace, Stiletto :-)

Right on. Thank you for watching! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

I think CS did a great job with the Griv-Ex on the SR1 Lite. But, yes, it will destroy your pockets like the Voyager. But, you won't loose your knife... It will be there when you need it... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

Wasn't me... I am stiletto15 on eBay... :-)
