The Cold Steel Voyager XL CS29AXT delivers heavy-duty cutting performance in a compact folding design. This oversized tactical folder combines a 5.5-inch tanto blade with Cold Steel's proven Tri-Ad lock mechanism for maximum strength and reliability.
What Makes This Different
The Voyager XL stands apart from standard pocket knives through its substantial 5.5-inch blade length and reinforced construction. While most folding knives use basic liner locks, this model features Cold Steel's proprietary Tri-Ad lock system that distributes stress across multiple contact points. The AUS-10A stainless steel blade provides superior edge retention compared to standard 440 or 8Cr13MoV steels commonly found in this price range.
Key Features
- 5.5-inch AUS-10A stainless steel tanto blade with plain edge
- Tri-Ad lock mechanism for enhanced blade security and strength
- Black Griv-Ex handle scales over aluminum liners for durability
- Reversible pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry
- Tanto point geometry optimized for piercing and control
- Textured handle surface provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Oversized blade suitable for heavy-duty cutting tasks
Field performance centers on the blade's substantial size and robust locking system. The 5.5-inch length handles rope cutting, food preparation, and utility tasks that overwhelm smaller folders. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the tanto point's penetration capabilities and the lock's resistance to failure under lateral stress. The AUS-10A steel maintains sharpness through extended use while remaining easy to resharpen.
