Centuries ago, the Andalusian region of Spain was teeming with small folding swords known as Navajas. Known for its all-around utility and ease of carry, the Navaja became very popular throughout Spain. Now, Cold Steel is bringing it back to life with the Espada. This version is outfitted with Massdrop-exclusive gray G-10 scales with a black DLC-coated blade to go with it. Made from Carpenter CTS XHP, the blade is tough and takes a good edge. It’s also backed by Cold Steel’s patented Tri-Ad lock, for which the company has become famous. The handle extends in an arcing motion to ensure your hand doesn’t slide down, no matter the task at hand. A tip-up clip offers convenient carry on either side.
