Before there was the Cold Steel Voyager Series XL Vaquero, there was the 6-inch, fully-serrated Vaquero Grande. At one time I carried this on my person as a self-defense option... super practical and extremely legal. Now it serves as one of my three favorite back yard clean up knives. the long, sinuous and serrate vaquero blade makes for a hell of a light machete and de-vining blade. These pre- Tri-ad lock Cold Steel folding knives are still quite strong and stout and I suspect i will be using this one for twenty more years to come.
