Large Espada Knife - Photo Gallery

A design collaboration between custom knife maker Andrew Demko and Cold Steel President Lynn C. Thompson.

Despite their imposing size, our Espada are expertly designed to fit comfortably and discreetly in your pocket.

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 features expertly polished G-10 scales and mirror polished 7075 Aluminum bolsters and frame. Each Espada is equipped with Cold Steel's patented Tri-Ad locking mechanism.

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!

Cold Steel 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, Cold Steel released a series of blades that could only be described as one thing - pocket swords!

he Cold Steel Espada was inspired by the classical Navaja knives of Spain, but was utterly modern in both appearance and materials.
