XL Voyager 5.5" AUS10A Tanto Point Razor-Sharp Blade 6.75" Griv-Ex Handle Everyday Carry Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock

This thing is a beast and razor sharp out of the box. I did my standard arm hair cutting test and came out with a Voyager XL sized bald patch, lol. I think most people buying this knife already own some Cold Steel knives. If that's the case, you'll love this. It's big, bad, and exactly what you expect from CS. Some people say that the pocket clip is too small for the XL. I admit it does look a little dinky compared to the Espada or SR1 clips. However, it fits nice and snug on my waistbands and I didn't need to stack 3 pennies underneath for a day or so to stretch it out. Works for me. This is not a good beginner knife for a lot of reasons. It's razor sharp, huge, and pretty intimidating (as it should be). Cold Steel is a legendary company. Who else provides such design, quality, and durability at an affordable price? Let me know, haha. Just kidding. I love you Cold Steel.

Great pocket knife. This will be perfect for opening letters and whipping out in the grocery store to help a soccer mom cut the tag off her purchase. Nah, for real this thing is a savage folding knife, bigger than anything I've ever carried. Came shaving sharp and the lockup and fit and finish is immaculate. Best value for the money in the knife world. Handle feels very grippy and the FRN is very solid and feels durable.

This is a giant folder, lots of reach, lots of handle space and grip options. The tanto blade is crazy thick even to the tip, makes my recon 1 tanto look skinny, but it came hair shaving sharp despite it’s beastly thick blade. It’s a big knife but will fit in a pocket. Great knife for yard work because it’s super solid, sturdy, and robust and it won’t break the bank at $57-62. I could even see someone hiking with this thing because it has the weight, thickness, and lock strength for chopping, prying, digging, can-opening, brush clearing, etc. but for most people it’s going to just be a super cool knife you pull out to show your friends at home. Either way, it’s a small investment for such a beefy, durable, cool blade. I love it. I will likely buy a few more in different blade configurations. I’m not a steel expert, but I have heard and read that aus10 (10a) steel is very comparable to VG-10. I love VG-10 in my delicas. I care more about toughness than I do wear resistance, so if it needs resharpening frequently, I don’t care as long as it won’t chip or break easily. I think 10a steel is tough enough especially at this level of thick blade. How long it will stay sharp, I don’t yet know. I have seen people beat these knives up on YouTube in an ugly way and they don’t break. That’s what I want in a big blade, toughness. If you love gigantic folders, thick blades, and reasonable prices, get this awesome knife. It’s very cool.

I own a lot of CS knives and this is one of my favorites. For myself, this is strictly a self-defense carry knife. It's not too big for my jeans pocket and I don't notice the weight. This knife isn't for going out in the woods chopping whatever I see. The length is exactly what I've been wanting because it gives me that extra reach. Especially when I grip it towards the back of the handle. The blade isn't made of some super steel, but I don't need it to be. I don't care about durability, edge retention and all that other stuff. Those are for my daily use knives. This knife, I just need it to do it's job even just once. It's cheap enough so I don't care if it breaks defending my family and myself. Easily replaceable. The AUS-10 steel is super easy to sharpen and takes an edge very well. Like all CS knives, it came sharp, but sharp isn't good enough for me. I used a progression of diamond emulsion on strops and now the blade is probably my sharpest knife. Like I said, very easy to put a razor edge. The value for what you get is undeniable. You get the famed CS quality even though the material used isn't of the highest quality. I hope that makes sense. Am I happy with this knife? No question. Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend this knife? That depends on what you are looking for in a knife. This is a big knife and not for every one. But if you like big knives, this is a must get. By the way, I purchased the tanto blade which I feel is better suited for self defense.

As a college student in Texas, I find myself walking to and from class everyday. There are many unsavory and often times threatening characters who can be found in these streets and sometimes even on campus. A few years ago, Texas law banned many knives (including Bowie knives) alongside clubs and other hand weapons from being carried. On the day the law was to be repealed, a stabbing occurred on a college campus. As a result, Texas law prevents you from carrying knives with blades longer than 5.5 inches in certain sensitive areas. At 5.5 inches, this knife meets the criteria. You can carry it on campus, to a courthouse, where ever. Of course, while the blade is only 5.5 inches, the knife itself is over 12 inches when unfolded. You are effectively carrying a folding sword. This thing comes sharp as hell (I nicked myself with it), and the cleverly designed hand allows you to hold it in certain ways that give you more reach. I examined a few fixed blade Kabars with 5.5 inch blades, but due to the handle, the Cold Steel XL tanto was far larger. I have a feeling that most people would just run if they confronted you and you whipped this thing out. My next largest folder is the CQC Emerson 4KXL, and the thing just dwarfs the poor Emerson On the other hand, this thing is built like a rock, and you could definitely use it as an outdoor blade. The lock up is totally solid. I've seen some people absolutely torture these knives, and while I wouldn't put them through that kind of punishment, it makes me feel confident in the product. I throw this thing in my backpack, where ever I go. At around 60 bucks, it's worth every penny.

Ya sé que este es un cuchillo de cacería y supervivencia; incluso algunos dirán que es un arma para defensa personal. Yo lo uso para las parrilladas. Estos cuchillos están exageradamente afilados, las que los de Dalstrong, Zwilling o Wusthof. Y el hecho de que es abatible significa que te lo puedes llevar a todos lados. No importa si el mango está lleno de grasa, agua, comida; el mango tiene un excelente agarre que lo hace muy seguro para usar. También el mango es muy grande, entonces se puede tomar el cuchillo de varias maneras en caso de que la parrilla este muy caliente. Lo único que no me gusta es que es muy duro de abatir al punto que algunos no van a poder.

Razier scharff, beim zu klappen. Finger weg, das Feder ist sehr stark, und zieht der Klinge schnell rein. Be careful when closing the blade the spring mechanism pulls the blade shut quickly. And if you fingers are in the way.... ouch. BIG KNIFE!!! GROSSE MESSER!!!

Gran navaja llego muy filosa como es de esperar de cold steel a pesar de lo grande que es es muy ligera y me sorprendio pense que era falsa o algo pero la desarme e investigue y es que en los modelos voyager usan para material de los liners o equeleto interno de la navaja aluminio con tratamiento termico muy resistente en ves de acero por eso su poco peso, la textura del mango es agresivo pero muy comodo me gusto mucho no lastima pero se agarra muy bien y ergonomica y su hoja de tipo tanto americano como le dicen es muy intimidante y ala vez muy bonita en general una de las mejores navajas del mercado.

Das Messer ist sehr groß und wird scharf geliefert. Die Verarbeitung ist super. Von mir beide Daumen hoch !!!
