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

This is a pretty good blade for the money. I'm not much for folding knives, but this one "Spoke" to me. So I had to buy it, since I do love Bowie knives. Opens easily and the Triad lock, seems very sturdy. Now all I've used this knife for so far, is opening boxes and food prep in the kitchen. It is not pocket deployable, unless you add what is called a snaggle tooth, which I will be doing. The clip works just fine, with normal Wrangle Jeans, anything lighter might cause a problem. In the end, I did buy this for self defense. But I think it will do all the knife tasks I need to do, when camping. Addition, I've read that many people do not like how gripy the grip is, and that is tears up pockets. If that is your problem. Do not use the clip. Or take the clip off, you will need a set of Torx bits and a driver. And sand down the handle on both sides. Then reattach the clip. Its that easy.

This is sure a well built knife, razor sharp, and a big size too. This reminds of Dundee's folding knife from the 3rd movie.

I have several Cold Steel large folders - they're all very well made. This one is by far the longest blade, and the handle is no shorty, either. Better have a large pocket to carry this puppy.

I collect a lot of knifes, and one of my favorites is the Cold Steel large Espada in S35VN (got it as a Christmas present for maybe $180). The Espada is so nice it stays in its box. The clip point Voyager is a very suitable everyday stand-in for it, for those times when you feel the need to pack a large intimidating blade. Everything about this knife is rock-solid, with a perfectly centered and shaving-sharp blade right out of the box. Given the versatility of grip positions on the handle, the Voyager can function like a lot of more "normal" blades, or as a pocket sword you can swing with some momentum. It's amazingly light and balanced-feeling for its size, due in part to the fact that the bottom part of the grip (i.e., below the lock release) has no metal in it except for the screws.

The clip point Voyager XL is of ideal size for my taste. It came razor sharp with the blade well centered and vault like lock up. Cold steel has been my favorite manufacturer of blades for over 30 years now and has always produced great knives, in my opinion.

If you're allowed to carry a folding knife of any length in your municipality, this is the best golding knife for you, especially if you have large hands. There's no better folding knife for self defense available (except the outrageous Cold Steel Espada XL). You're getting a thick AUS 10A stainless steel 5.5" blade for a very reasonable price. The blade is thick enough for tasks besides self defense, but there are better folding knives for that. The Andrew Demko Tri-Ad Lock is the best folding knife lock on the market. You can easily swing this knife open with a flick of your wrist (better check your local laws on that one). If you're one of those guys that doesn't think a folding knife is good unless it costs $200-$350, this knife isn't for you, and you should seriously consider reprioritizing your life!

I primarily bought this knife to act as a foldable hunting knife that I could pullout on the spot and quarter out an animal. It has a narrow point for poking holes in order to hang game, a good shaped blade for skinning but most importantly for me a large blade for quartering the animal in just a couple slices each shoulder and hind. 10/10 would recommend this pocket sword.

(Haven’t field tested yet) seems good quality, feels solid, most solid folder I’ve held. This is a big knife. Big and beautiful. Nice handle, I’m used to wood handles and they always have more belly to them but this knife still feels good in the hand even though it’s slim. Lock feels strong. Nice design. Came sharp and with a good edge. Will update review after I take it out.
