I can't get a feel on how big this knife is compared to other normal things I want one.. Just cause it's cool idk I like it I guess that all. Can some of you guys post some pics of it with more commen knives I've handled most of the more commen knives so anything would help it's just someone youtube reviews make it seem like a folding sword and some make it seem like just a pocket knife so isk.
 
I own an x2 voyager. It seemed really cool when I bought it. Now it just collects dust. I carried it a couple dozen times. Light weight and carried well in my back pocket next to my wallet. Problem was it scared the crap out of people.
 
I just got my Espada XL. I'm not a big guy and was worried I was getting too big a knife with this vs the large. I was not sorry I went with the XL. I'm only 5-10 and 145lbs with a leanish runner's build (I run) and this is a perfect fit for me. It really depends what you want it for I suppose. I was going for terrifying and deadly 'no 2nd chance effective' and it achieves that. It is a defensive carry weapon meant for serious self defense. It probably violates every states knife laws without a concealed carry license (which I have). It was stiff at first but either we have just gotten to know eachother or the folding action has just gotten smoother on its own I can't tell but it works superbly.

Great workmanship. Sharp enough to do surgery with. The grip allows for several gripping options. The XL is most def a pocket sword. I think the large would also be hard to regard as any kind of a utility knife. Listen. It really is more of a weapon than a tool. Hope that helps.
