That Espada is designed after Spanish navajas and it’s pretty spot on!! Spanish citizens used them as fighting knifes because the government banned fixed blades, so old navajas had ratchets that clanked open. Very unique. Another great modern take on the navaja is the Kershaw Strata

Drug addicts wanted to rob us at knife point. Great thing was the attackers ran as soon as they saw me whipping out my xl espada. Fight won by intimidation.thats my cold steel moment.

@@acid6urns believe what you may. Its a common occurrence in South Africa being robbed at knife point by druggies. My espada xl has saved me twice and my 4max scout once from being robbed recently. All you need most of the time is the intimidation of a big knife. The other day there was three blokes in a car following me whilst I was walking at night. I whipped out my 4max scout, turned around and gazed at them. I heard the front passenger tell the driver “he has a knife, leave, lets go!”. So believe what you want. I can talk from experience that a big knife works to intimidate your opponent. There are strict gun laws in South Africa and if you are white the cops tend to side with the criminals. The criminals have more rights than the law abiding citizens.

I've always liked 4+ inch folders, and own many of them. I carry a Spyderco K2 a lot so I figured I'd seen big knives, then the Maxace Mammoth I ordered showed up in the mail. The box was so heavy, I seriously thought they had to have messed up and sent me 2 by mistake. I giggled for a full 30 seconds after opening the zipper pouch and flipped it until the lockbar destroyed my thumb to the point I physically could not unlock it anymore. I read all the stats, and watched all the videos waiting for it to show up, but none of them conveyed that feeling the first time I felt it in hand. Everytime I get a new Maxace, I feel like I know a secret that nobody else does. Granted, their designs are polarizing, but their materials, craftsmanship, and customer service are top of the line.

@jslaughterofthesoul4939 2 жыл бұрын

Echoed love for Midnight Cat/Maxace. I have three Mammoths, once the DLCed V4E came through, it was crucial. The new Adamas and SOG Seal XR have been a blast, the K390 P4s I am loving. Got two of the Lynn Thompson DLC full serrated Vaqueros in XHP. Finally got my Black Talon 2 serrated in XHP. A favorite of mine, and the knew serrated Kris Ti-Lite is no joke. Rajah 2 will always hold a place in my heart. Counterpoints are kicking much ass, Spartan is beloved. Rike M3s I am a major fan of. Rike in general kill it. Also Harnds with the Warrior and General, who've made me forget about my Recon 1s. A true cheapo that is worth owning a few of is the Boker Magnum kukri, that is not to be underestimated. Definitely want that G-10 Espada XL, and an Immortal in XHP, also the Colossus 2. TwoSun has some serious beasts; love the S90V Tentara karambit. I kind of wish there were more in-between art/tactical excaliburs, with more spine jimping and jimping in general aside from just the tabs and blade spines. SOG had the right idea with that SEAL. It puzzles me why all the hype and demand for minis, I want to see more XLs and XXLs, more V4E/CPM-4V. Would love to see a Lansky Responder XL on bearings in a demon steel, an XL Black Talon II, and an XL Harnds Beak, the ergs on that little dude are perfect. More tool steels, but COATED. They coat everything else that is highly corrosion resistant, which I digg, but so many tool steels are left bare. Absurd. CS should get back to XHP now that it's clear that apparent drought is beyond over.

It's just so over the top and such a stunner to show people, but at the same time the fact that it's built to literally destroy things is unreal.

After I bought a Janich designed Spiderco Yojimbo 2, I found the Yojumbo, and just had to get it. I have not regretted it since. I want to get anodized titanium screws and deep carry clips for both knives, as they use the same hardware. The heavier blade just falls closed on the Yojumbo when I hit the compression lock. I like wharncliffes. These are particularly good for stabbing and slicing. I eventually plan on adding jimping on the top of the blade near the pivot. I recommend St. Claire's synthetic nano oil 10wt. to keep them smooth.

I might actually look into the plague steel will plague doctor... I love a nice knife that's on washers not bearings that away I can get it dirty if needed and then go and clean it right up no problem. Wow after seeing the action on those washers im sold lol I need to buy me one I love a large blade too so its a no brainer. I hate that so many modern knives come on bearings lol I hate that $200 knives are on bearings when they should be on polished washers that still allow a quality action. I am impressed when I see a knife on washers with such a smooth action. Im not impressed when I see some $10 knife drop shut just because its on some bearing system that is loud enough for you to hear the bearings doing their thing as the blade is closing and opening. I bought a kizer gunhammer even though its on bearings and I dont regret it because it doesnt feel like a lot of bearing knives it is just incredibly smooth and I cant really tell the bearings are even there. Which I know you can sort of get that feeling on mid range bearing knives too but this is slightly different which it is probably due to the fact that the blade is just so beefy.

My fave bigger production knife is the Spyderco Subvert. Versatile blade ffg s30V and a grip way fuller than most Spydercos, which tend to be too slim for my liking. As full as their Valotton. Anyways, this beast is only just over 4" but that blade opens and locks up solid. You wouldn't imagine it from closed but when it opens, it's like a bolo just appeared in your hand! In customs, hard to beat any Reese Weiland XL Fatty prototype in 1/2" stock... Yup: 0.500", especially with deep deep hollow grinds! :)
