Free Sharpening on Espada XL

[Petunia D. Feeble]

I've had a nagging urge to own an XL Espada for some time. It's an idea that just won't seem to go away, but I hesitate to make the purchase because I've never actually handled one.

I've had the pleasure of handling or owning just about every other large folder from Cold steel, but not the big daddy. If it too were ~$150 I'd just toss the money at it and be done, but it's quite a lot more even in its most basic form.

So, would any of you fine folks like to have yours sharpened for free? Full mirror edge. I'd just ask that you cover the shipping. Just so that I can handle it. I won't carry it or use it of course, just get an idea what it's like in person. In return you get an edge that I'd under charge you for at $30 normally. Ill guarantee a turnaround time of 3 days from receipt and its back in the mail. Shiny and sharp.

I'd bet most of the competition would charge $50+ If not just refuse.

For proof of ability here's a Kershaw Outcast with a 10" blade that I did a few months back:

A+ 100 for his services. Great person to deal with fast shipping and great communication. His work is top notch and super sharp.

I called a friend with an older AUS8 XL Espada. He's out of town on a job but can have it in the mail on Monday if that's good for you. It's the regular XL, not the G10 version.

Thanks a lot, that's fine. Shipping info is on the website.
