The Cold Steel Voyager XL CS29AXC delivers exceptional cutting performance in a large format folding knife designed for demanding applications. This 5.5-inch blade folder combines premium AUS-10A stainless steel construction with Cold Steel's proven Tri-Ad lock mechanism for maximum reliability and edge retention.
What Makes This Different
The Voyager XL stands apart from standard folding knives through its oversized 5.5-inch clip point blade and robust Tri-Ad locking system. While most folding knives use liner locks or frame locks, the Tri-Ad mechanism distributes stress across three contact points, creating a lock strength that rivals fixed blade knives. The AUS-10A stainless steel provides superior edge retention compared to standard 440C steel while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance.
