I recently picked up this big guy from a forum member. I wasn't looking for one. He had mislabeled this one a mini-Copperlock. When it came in I thought there is no way I'm going to carry this in my pantsuit around NYC.

My second thought was that I love it and there's no way that I was going to return it, hah hah! After going through so many cycles of different styles of knives though I've really settled into loving the humble lockback. This one hits on all fun form factors for me though. Slim, nice big blade, comfortable in hand! The as ground clip blade is great too!

It also gave me an excuse to order another Case single trapper with wharncliffe blade. I seemed to have lost the one that I just bought and I found a great deal on a replacement.

I love lock backs as well. It seems I mostly have smaller ones but I do have a few larger ones.

Those are nice ones Eschewebach! I hate to say it but I also have to give credit to CRK. But the large lockbacks with their flat covers really remind me of a Sebenza in hand! I find this configuration to really be comfortable in hand though!

That swing guard reminds me of West Side Story!
 
Ok, the Uncle Henry LB7 is probably the only one in my pic that I'd call "big", but it's what I got at the time.

Saw a cool big lock back in a catty-log. 200 Anniversary Remington. Only 10 1/2 inches closed.
