So tell me what you think...

I have a very large Cold Steel Espada that is uncomfortable to keep clipped in my normal jeans front pocket. Since it is so large; it is very uncomfortable to keep in my pocket when sitting.

I had the local tailor make me a special pocket for it, on several of my blue jeans. Tell me what you think....

ESPADA, EXTRA LARGE
Specifications:
Blade Length: 7 1/2"
Blade Thickness: 4 mm
Overall Length: 16 3/4"
Steel: Japanese Aus 8A Stainless
Weight: 15 oz
Handle: 9 1/4" Long Polished

Maybe it's time to go on a diet? :shrug:

J/K, that's a pretty trick little pocket. How is it when you sit down, does the knife have a tendency to rise out of the pocket?

Hahahaha... I'm speechless..

Parden me honey, while I wipppppppp this out.

That's not a knife......This is a knife.....

Ha, yes... a diet would be in order.

It "used to" rise out of the front pocket; before I had this new pocket made. The knife stays in place when sitting; it is quite comfortable to wear now.

The concealed part isn't the problem. The problem is you have an inch or so sticking out. I think most brain dead people don't care. You would definitely draw the attention of anyone looking for a weapon.

It's a folder, not a fixed blade. It's legal to carry in this configuration.

I use it to open boxes, cut rope and any other application where a pocket knife comes in handy.

Here is a picture of it dropped fully into the pocket:

Wow. I thought my kershaw compound was a big large.... Nevermind now.

lsw · Jan 17, 2015

Wow, and I thought a Kershaw Tremor was big... BTW is that Espada assisted opening?

willtill · Jan 17, 2015

Yep, there is a catch bolted/screwed to the rear back of the blade; that will catch on the jeans pocket edge. I prefer not to use that though; on a knife as large as this.

Maybe get a pocket sewn inside your pants like a crossdraw..
All the girls will want to touch it when you go bar hopping.

Maybe you should change your forum name to Jim Bowie

So you carry a knife that big to open boxes and cut rope? LOL

Seems pretty excessive, and a little impractical. But hey, if it works, good for you.

Is at a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

protegeV · Jan 18, 2015

^^^thought it, wasn't gonna say it :lol2:

That give new meaning to the term "pocket knife". I like it.

Thanks. I like my Espada... was a gift from my wife. Have had it sitting on my desk for years... decided to do something so I could actually carry it.

Of course it's a little unpractical; but it's a nice startling conversation starter when someone asks "anyone got a knife"?

I do also carry a Spyderco Endura as well. That is more used often...

So tell me what you think...
