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

Of every folder I own, this is the most formidable knife that can still be easily carried in the pocket like any other knife. I have a couple knives that are bigger but they are too bulky and heavy to realistically be an EDC. It is light and thin for its overall size and fits in a regular pants pocket. It’s more dangerous than most knives to handle because of the recurve tip. It already made the tip of my finger bleed when trying to close it the first time. My fault but that tip is dangerously upswept so be warned. I got the full serrated version. This is not a toy! It’s an incredibly sharp and pointy blade that is not to treated causally. Build quality is typical Cold Steel, great. Blade came razor sharp. Triad lock is the strongest lock you can get. For $50, it’s a whole lot of knife and worth every single penny. I own about a dozen Cold Steel folders and they are good but this knife stands alone. This is a legend of a knife.

Flawless quality and extremely sturdy. Very sharp out of the box and feels like a tank without being too heavy. Comfortable in hand and surprisingly in pocket too. Be prepared for the size, this is a huge pocket knife. Stonewash finish is very nice looking and will hide scratches well if you use it hard. Cold steel does an excellent job on the heat treat of all their knives and this is no exception. Well known to be one of the strongest locks available the triad lock is an excellent choice for self defense or outdoor use. Easy to open even with the size. Pocket clip is a bit tight like most cold steel folders. Comes with both a right and left hand pocket clip. Highly recommended if you can carry this legally in your area, and great for outdoor use as well. Put it in your list and wait for a sale and you will not be disappointed!

This knife uses a great steel for the price of it and the serrations came sharp for what they are made for. The plain edge tip was a nice feature to be added to the fully serrated blade. The triad lock is an amazing lock for this knife and my hands are bigger and fit so comfortable on the handles. Very easy to open if you flick it with your middle finger. Very strong and very easy to carry even when I wear pants with not so deep pockets such as pajama pants. Great for cutting fibrous materials and through clothing if needed

This is honestly the best knife I’ve ever owned. The qaulity of the blade and handle is top notch — honestly, I think it could easily be priced higher for what you get. The tip is insanely sharp and the serrated edge bites like nothing else. It doesn’t feel bulky or overly thick, so despite its size it’s surprisingly light and easy to carry. The overall feel is excellent — nicely balanced with just a small bit of weight that makes it comfortable and secure in the hand. I’m 6 ft tall and the blade is longer than my forearm, so it definitely has that intimidation factor, but it clips to my basketball shorts easily and is barely noticeable to wear. On the ease of opening: you can’t just flick it open with no practice. If you learn the technique you can use your thumb to start it and then flick it open, but that takes practice and could be risky given how sharp it is. I personally open it with my other hand — safer for me. The opening mechanism is a bit stiff at first (the stiffness is noticeable), but the lockup is rock solid. The balance and the Tri-Ad lock give me total confidence this thing won’t fold under pressure. It’s not a very thick knife, and I think that’s part of why it stays so light while still feeling durable. All in all, excellent build, razor-sharp performance, and a comfortable carry — great everyday carry if you want something that looks and feels serious without being unmanageable.

The Vaquero has been my "Grail" knife for over a year. I know it's not THAT expensive, but it's more than I've spent on a knife before. It's totally worth it. This thing is a beast! The design, and grind on the blade are amazing. It arrived scary sharp. Verry slicey, especially toward the front 3 inches. The tip is pretty fine, allowing for an unexpected amount of deftness with detail work. Due to the unique blade shape, and breathtaking full flat grind, I wouldn't want to use this for doing something like splitting dry oak logs. but it will execute vines and brambles like they aren't even there, and will easily slice open pork bellies, zombies, and tatami mats by the handfuls. Clearly, this is an excellent fighting knife. The reach and grip are incredible, and the curve of the whisper sharp blade will definitely grab and slash a body in a catastrophic way. However, I sincerely hope to use it much more often for mundane things like harvesting cabbages, clearing trails, or carving the Thanksgiving turkey! ;) Despite being an X large knife, it does carry surprisingly well, not bulky or too heavy feeling. No, seriously. But yep, as others have mentioned, the clip is too tight. So, a word of warning... ~This thing WILL bite you!~ I read numerous stories about how snappy the closing action is, and how it will shut right on your fingers if they're in the way. I was super careful.. and it still got me a little, during a failed deployment (takes a bit of practice). Just a nip though, thankfully. Also, I swung it open in a reverse grip one time, and the meat of my thumb got caught in the back of the lock as it engaged, giving me a little blood blister. I didn't see that one coming. I thought I could almost hear Andrew Demko chuckling a little.. 🙄😏 lol Also, FYI, the Tri-AD lock is the most solid you'll find, but it is also no joke to disengage. You gotta press the back lock HARD. It's definitely not a 'fidget' knife. This is a glorious, & dangerous tool; an amazing specimen of some serious knife making. I'm very pleased to have it in my collection, and am excited to see what this incredible blade can do.

Filosa como navaja de afeitar, con un buen agarre y un exelente seguro no me a fallado
