Big loud folders

[MTHall720]

May sound crazy but I love big (about 4 inch or longer blade), loud click upon lock up blades. Not only loud and big blade, but also heavy weight ones. Some of my current favorites are CS Spartan, BM Bedlam, Boker Resurrection, and ZT 0200.

Anyone else here like these features too? If so, what are your favorites?

I generally EDC a Buck 110. Might not be big enough but love the click.

 

[MTHall720]

I agree. My bought me a beautiful custom 110. Love the click.

The Spyderco Nirvana lockup sounds like a shotgun racking.

I've picked up and enjoyed a few of the big Cold Steel folders in the last couple years. I think the sound of the tri-ad lock would be something you'd like

 

[FullMetalJackass]

Any Emerson in Super size. Bonus, you'll make a lot of noise cursing loudly if you got lockstick'd

The Cold Steel Frenzy 2 makes a huge pop when that long blade locks down.

 

[Knicked Digits]

The Adamas is a tad under 4” but with that big slab of a blade, it sure makes a solid click when it locks up

 

[Grandmaster]

Reate has some 4” flippers that really click open

Sounds like you need some Richmade Knives in your life. Bigger, and heavier one cannot find.

Big and Brawny the Cold Steel AD10 certainly fits the bill and has a resounding thunk when the lock falls into place !

All my Cold Steel models , 3.5 inches and up, make a solid "thwack" when opening up. That triad lock is something.

loud click upon lock up blades . . .

Here's a LINK > > > to photos.
Yes there is something about the Holdout I can really appreciate; it's just such a great usable knife and pocketable. I can carry it all day even with the clip removed and it's no big deal
I don't carry it often 'cause it is only about twice the legal length here

I carry a Razelized and shortened CS Ti Lite VI in CTS-XHP as a work knife. As seen at this LINK > > > fourth photo down.
Yeah . . . when I open it everyone in the room and in the next room knows it.
WhackClack !

On the same but opposite note I appreciate my 710 for how quiet and subtle it deploys. Pretty big knife and I could open it at the movie theater and nobody would even notice.

You need a Fulltrack and XM-24 too

The sound of my Cold Steel 4-MAX could wake up the dead.
My wife can hear the lockup of the CS AD10 in the back bedroom. Says it sounds like I’m cocking a gun (racking the slide on my 1911) in the den.
The Gayle Bradley 1 is thwack city also.

I never really thought about whether I "liked" it or not, but my Kershaw Link with the M390 blade is pretty loud when it locks open. Probably has something to do with how fast it opens....
You can't really limp grip it when opening.. it will jump out of your hand. It also has some weight to it, with the aluminum scales...

 

[MTHall720]

wow These are great suggestions! Thanks everyone.

View attachment 1128054 CUDA MAXX’s and MADD MAXX’s satisfy the requirements for large folders. Here is a picture of good, better, and best. The largest is 18” OAL.

Grayman Satu fills my need for large and loud.

As mentioned already , about any of Cold Steel's Tri-ad lock models . But generally the bigger and heavier the blade and the faster you can get it moving , the more loud .

I don't have the hugest XL Espada , but I'd guess that's got be be the loudest .

Note that all of these can be opened very quietly , when desired .
