BIGG folders.

[Spongebobby]

I'm in a phase right now where i'm really wanting a big folder, no specific use or reason, just do. I'm looking at the cold steel espada and rajah, any other really big folders?

 

[singularity35]

I kinda like the rajah 2.

 

[DrivebyTrucker]

Who makes that? I know Cold steel makes a few that are 4in+. But I haven't seen many folders more than 3.5-4in

 

[Vanguard41xx]

Zero Tolerance makes big folders...
The Spyderco Military is also a large folder.

ftw lol,

The Cold Steel XXL Voyager has a 6 inch AUS-8A blade.

 

[glockman99]

ftw lol,

That "thing" is huge, but costs about as much money as a '76 Yugo did...

Ooopps sorry I misunderstood.

ZT does make some robust folder with fat blades and handles, but I believe they still fall in the 3.5-4in range. The Spyderco Military is 4in but doesn't appeal to everyone. Benchmade Rift and a few other models also qualify as large folders. But more than 4in? Only the Cold Steel Voyager and an Opinel model are really big that I know of.

I've been stuck in that "phase" long enough to realize that buying one is the only way out of it. I too feel the need for a Mega-Folder. My need comes from a specific situation though - my supervisor told me I could no longer carry a fixed blade (my Sec. job, my L.E. job is fine with FB's). So.. when told I was limited to folders, the solution became crystal clear :-D

So far, I have found NO reputable companies, other than Cold Steel, that make Mega-Folders. From their line up, the Rajah II seems to be the most bang for the buck. I don't have one to tell you about, though, because I'm supposed to be saving for a pre 86 transferable MG right now.

Emerson CQC-11, Super CQC-8, or UBR Commander. Spyderco Szabo folder. Strider XL.

 

[PurpleGold]

the spyderco resilience is a 4 1/4" blade for a decent price

 

[gomipile]

Off the top of my head:

Cold Steel: Kudu, Spartan, Voyager XL, Rajah II, Espada L and XL, 6" Ti'Lite, Pocket Bushman, Paradox

The Zero Tolerance 0200 has a 4.25" blade

 

[Dawkind]

I've got a collection of folders that have 5" or longer blades and am always on the lookout for others.....

They're not production knives but they are BIG!

A few fancier ones.

A rather LARGE Southard flipper....

A Michael Burch monster of an IKBS flipper...gotta watch it, too, closes as fast as it opens!

Forgot about that. Good budget option.

Also the Benchmade Onslaught. Another huge Burchtree would be the Chop Suey.

 

[bladebertt]

The Grayman Satu is a big one.

 

[TOMMY00729]

If you can still find either one of these, I perfer Benchmade model #630 Skirmish or #610 Rukus.
I have owned both & like the Skirmish the best by far,both have S30v steel & blades over 4 inches.

OP - some of these replies have me wondering if I misunderstood you. What is the minimum length you are looking for? For me, it has to be NO LESS than 5"

PLEASE let us know what each of those are?
And is that Michael's Bangkok Express?
