Just ordered that XL Espada from Knife Center. Been wanting one forever. Got my taxes back, got me that huge knife. ;-)
Not the G-10 one either, the fancy one. May get a G-10 one later.
Nice! Congrats! I myself will be receiving my Medium Espada soon. If I get the XL, it'l be the G10 model once the stone washed versions are on the market.
I've already got a Large Espada, may get the medium one just to say I have all three. Buy one of them fancy stands to put them on, in front of my one sword.
That's a nice idea. I'll be EDCing my Espada. I would have already bought an XL were it not for silly weapons laws and hoplophobia.
AS regards silly weapons laws, how many times ahve you been searched for weapons? I live in Oklahoma, and even though the state has no limit, local jurisdictions can. Oklahoma City is 4 inches. I carry my Large Espada all the time, as well as several other large knives I have. Use them too, never been hassled over it. Of course I also always have a smaller knife, usually a Spyderco Military , in my left front pocket. For those sheeple moments.
I'll carry the XL Espada now-and-then, not all the time. Mostly when I know there will be safe opportunities to show it off to appreciative admirers of blades.
I've been asked by the Police to see a knife one time. In California, and it was some Benchmade automatic with a 4 inch + blade. Totally illegal. Cop handled it, fondled it, flicked it open several times, said "nice knife, probably better if you leave it at home", and gave it back to me. ;-)
