This proposition is better than ever. You can have a XHP/DLC blade in the polished handles, and a second AUS8/G10 knife all for less than many advertised prices for the yet to be shipped polished XHP model.
Since Cold Steel's own Polished Espada in XHP appears to be many months away still (one site lists it as expected in March 2016 with it either absent or only listed for pre-order on others), and prices have dropped on both the AUS8 and G10/XHP versions, you can now get an XHP/DLC and polished AUS8 Espada for about $267 from a big retailer that is advertising the polished XHP model for pre-order at $274.
That's two Espada's for less than the price of one.
