You asked about jeans, so, I’m sorry that I cannot answer that specifically. But for my use the largest version does fit in my front pants pocket. You’ll definitely know it’s there because Cold Steel isn’t lying when they call these blades “pocket swords.” But I’ve never felt any discomfort or annoyance from carrying this blade in my front pants pocket. Again, though, it will be large and you’ll notice it is there until you get used to carrying it I believe. Hope that helps some. **Q: Question to the seller of the $838 Espada knife: is any part of it made of gold?** A: No none of it is made of gold it is made of the exact same exact materials as the $400 one that's a size below it I believe a large, but do not buy it from this seller this is Cold steel that is selling this the actual company you need to buy it from Amazon third party sellers such as eBay, whoever else here is selling Cold steel a spot of g10s I bought one here for $220 or $230 including tax about 6 months ago and it's a perfectly good fun night it's the exact same knife you will pay for with $400 on this particular site. Whatever you do never buy from the actual manufacturer they always jack up the price as if it is special. It is for suckers who think that they are better than other people to buy the item from the items manufacturer it's the same exact materials s35v I think steel. I bought an extra large one about seven months ago for $330 including tax here on Amazon but I replaced it with the $230 one including tax because it was much more suitable to fit in my pocket no one needs a seven and a half inch bladed pocket knife that is a pocket sword. I hope I have helped you and I hope I have helped countless amounts of other people who will read this answer and no never buy from Cold steel that would be like buying from crkt for instance the crkt ritual knife at any other place sells for about 70 to 80 dollars when they haven't stuck but at the crkt site they sell for 125 dollars and they don't even have them in stock right now. **Q: Cold steel g-10 x-large espada has a blade 7.5 inch. overall 19.75 inch. is that what you are selling?** A: Yes and the one I received has the less textured g10 and the AUS10A steel. 17 1/8” when open **Q: Which blade steel version is this, aus8a or s35vn?** A: If it has Aluminum polished bolsters it's S35VN blade steel 😎 CPM S35Vn hold a keen edge but AUS10a is good also. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Espada Series S35VN Steel Ultra-Sharp Blades Tactical Pocket Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock & Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip - Cold Steel Espada AUS10A Steel Ultra-Sharp Blades Matte Black G-10 Handle Scales Tactical Pocket Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock - COLD STEEL Spartan 4.5 in Japanese AUS10A Blade Tactical Pocket Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock and Griv-Ex Handle w/Steel Liners --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/68465826-espada-series-s35vn-steel-ultra-sharp-blades-tactical-pocket-folding](https://www.desertcart.us/products/68465826-espada-series-s35vn-steel-ultra-sharp-blades-tactical-pocket-folding) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
