XL => Xtra goodness

[Rykjeklut]

This is only the large. The XL is an actual pocket sword.

I don't own one of those, although I'd love to; I just can't justify the expense for something that would be solidly in novelty territory for my needs.

Aah, I see. Well it's still pretty damn big!
Hahah, yeah.. the aus10 version is close to $300, and the s35vn is almost $700 if I remember correctly.

A good compromise would be the Spartan then. It’s still fairly XL (and hefty mind you) while still being practical for large EDC applications.

I tried the Sparan, but I prefer the large Espada in every way (except price). Neat knife, though.

Just a shame about that recurve.

I've been using the heck out of my Spartan lately. I guess it's rapidly becoming my go-to beater folder. For the first time ever, I really appreciated that recurve sawing through the smelly, wet plastic bottom of a compost bin I had made with holes too small. It wasn't a job I wanted to spend more than 10 seconds doing and I was stoked to have that huge belly and recurve to cut so fast thorough. I feel totally comfortable stabbing with it too. Great knife. Next stop, XL Espadaville.

I'm a big CS fan (Recon 1 and Ultimate Hunter owner). Great value for the money. Cheesy marketing but I get a chuckle seeing Lynn and his buddies stabby stabby slicey dicey on various materials.

Congrats on your new knife.

I was going to comment that you should get the Rajah 1 or 2 but totally forgot about the Espada XL.

Sure, recurves definitely have their place, but I just absolutely hate sharpening them.
