Alright which large folders do u guys think slice the best. Your fav large slicers.
 
My dozier large hunter is a wicked slicer, but most of my real "slicers" are smaller knives. Most of my slipjoints come to mind, the best of those would probably be my sodbuster.
 
Another vote for the BM Mini Onslaught.
I love my Spyderco Military the most for slicing though.
And an Opinel would certainly have to be mentioned as well.
Any FFG Spyderco is also a good answer.
 
Large? My Sebbie and Para are not large to me but they slice better than any of my "large" knives. My grayman Satu and my Ontario Hossom Retubution 1 slice really well for being large.
 
get a big, old slipjoint they generally have thin blade stock and grinds. or an opinel #9 or larger.

my military does pretty good with its ffg and distal taper, but it is still 4mm thick at its thickest, which is too thick to label it as a slicer, imo.
 
I find blades with a recurve to have great cutting and slicing power. Though there are quite a few people who have a distaste for recruves for whatever reason.

Edit: Oh and my BM 581 m390 is a great slicer. Blade is a nice high flat grind and the handle is really meaty to get a good grip with. Thinking of sending 581 to someone to be sharpened since the factory edge seems less than stellar. Make it nice and scary sharp and have that beautiful mirrored edge. (I don't have a sharpening system yet)

Also just got my Para 2 so I haven't put much use in it. However, so far its stellar!
