Cold SteelXL 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 have the LG Voyager Tanto and wanted another in the series. I'm not disappointed. This seems like more of a slicer than the Tanto because of the full flat grind and the front 3rd of the blade is much thinner. They will both perform well for its intended purposes.Now I need the drop point blade but am skeptical to order from here because of all the reviews saying the edge grinds are so bad. The edge grind and centering on this knife is perfect out of the box so I'm happy about that.

If you want a heavy, strong , durable, big knife look no further. This knife is not the smoothest to deploy and close but it’s one of those tools that can serve you for a long time. It’s built like a tank!

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.
