5:30 told me what I wanted to know, it can stab strait edge down. I have had a few knife fighting classes and the classic European fencers were right, a stab is a little faster and harder to gaurde. Slashing has it's place too, don't get me wrong but I would want a self defense knife that can handle a striat stab without having to turn the edge up.
Hey arrogant fat owner of CS in the black suit there, maybe more people would buy your knives if they weren't made in communist china, you charge premium prices for blades that are made in slave labor shops, fuck off.
maybe the greatest defense folder ever made. The best part IMHO is the fact that not only do you get a big knife is that when it is in your pocket it really doesn't show the size or take away your mobility.
Cold Steel is the Best... The Espada XL G-10 is incomparable. Though the aluminum-framed ones are a lot prettier, the G-10 models are more practical and inconspicuous.
@plopdidley the one they show in thsi is the extra large model which is roughly $470, but it is made of some of the best carbon steel and gets the best treating and comes with the tri-ad lock and comes with a mirror finish
You know how it is, you're walking down a dark alley when suddenly, you are unexpectedly attacked by a side of beef. It's moments like these you'll wish you had the handy dandy XL espada, now for the low(ish) price of just $9.99(x30)!
@RandomCivillian That guy you are talking about is Lynn Thompson. So what if he is fat? He trains in multiple weapons and martial arts. Is exercise regiment is intense, and he is undoubtedly strong because of that. If any one is going to represent a knife company, it should be him. Someone who actually knows about edged weapons.
@RandomCivillian The Proof DVDs are a stroke of marketing genius for Cold Steel. Lynn has said when he put his first Proof DVD out in the 80's, his sales increased significantly. Today, Cold Steel makes between 25-50 million a year. And look at the views of their Youtube videos, then the untold amounts of free DVDs given away with their catalogs. Maybe it doesn't suit your tastes, but they know how to show their product, and sell it.
how the fuck he gets it out of his pocket (nice frame 4.55) , man that scares me more than a 1 m sword , just thinking it fits in a pocket , this is the KING OF THE FOLDERS KNIFE .
Not to Troll at all, but most if not ALL of these cuts are done with trained knife experts. I would LOVE to see someone right off the street do these demos exactly as these guys did it. And one more thing, after they stabbed the car plate, was the knife still sharp, or did it need to be sharpened? I know the high quality that CS lives up to, and all of their items are at GREAT prices!
@bcbcscbc of course everybody's fat!!! they cut 800 pound meat in every video and then they eat all of it... but it is one bad ass knife... i have it and it is all u need...
but will it blend?

it would have been hilarious if one of the clips showed him slashing that tie in half-
