I've come across videos of the Large Espada made with three different blade steels...AUS8, S35VN and CTS-HXP. Are all of these knives legitimate, Cold Steel Espadas, or are there knock-offs using blade steels that aren't what they really claim to be?

Thanks for your time and for any info. you can provide. Stay safe, birdave (Joe).
 
I think there have been counterfeit Espada's, but all of those steels have definitely been used by Cold Steel in the Espada. In addition, there will be a version in AUS10A available soon I believe.
 
GlockMonkey,
Thanks for weighing in, it's appreciated. I haven't seen too many knives use AUS10A...very interesting.
Stay safe, birdave.
 
"Cedric & Ada" on Youtube tested the AUS10A steel and he loves it. He does a lot of endurance cutting tests like going through 100s of feet of rope.
 
mongomondo,
Good to know. Thanks for your input.
Stay safe, birdave.
