anybody know any knives that are as big or slightly smaller than the cold steel XL espada

the HTM AXD 5.5, few knives are even close to as long as the stupidly sized XL espada.
 
There are balisongs that go that big, and bigger. Some should be considered folding swords.

No pictures, sorry.

Opinel also has a big one, I think.

The Spanish knife called the "carraca" (which inspired the Espada), gets big, too.
 
There's always the Rajah II and Large Espada. BladeHQ has a nice search feature that allows you to weed it down by price range and blade size.

Cold Steel really has the lockdown on megafolders, though. Plenty of 5.5" and a few 6" options in many blade styles, and now in decent steels and with the only kind of lock I would trust on a blade that large.
 
Just to give you some scale on the Large Espada, all the other knives in this picture have 4" blades.

 
Darrel Ralph is my go to guy to scratch that itch. I also regularly carry a set of Rajah 2.

 
HTM Knives Darrel Ralph DDR Madd MAXX 7.
8" closed, 7" blade, 15" open. Mine weighs 11.4oz versus the Espada's 16oz. Mine has custom blade cutouts though so a regular might weigh an ounce more.

It is actually fairly easy to carry, much less bulky than the CS XL Espada.
