Biggest LC200N Knife you know of?

Alright, if the other knives posted in this thread are all there is, then I have made the largest LC200N knife in the world, designed by my customer. Here it is before a final wipe down and shipping out. Gray TeroTuf handles, orange G10 liners and copper tubes with a Boltaron sheath.

Very much so, thank you!
 
I have the set. They are quite pricey. The whole sets go for $2400 now on sale. Mine is the older set that I think is better.

I am working on a design for a heavy duty camp knife that can chop and do some fine stuff. Being impervious and tough, it would be an ideal knife that you could give abuse and shrug it off. Thinking 3/16” thick and around 7” blade and 2 1/2” blade height.

I ordered this one and I'm extremely happy with how it turned out :thumbsup::thumbsup:. David did an amazing job of realizing the vision. Designed to be a dual purpose kitchen knife and hunting / camp knife. Can't wait to put it through its paces !

David adapted and amended the basic concept into this beautiful looking knife.

I was motivated by the idea of mountain man and frontier knives - simple and functional, built purely with performance in mind.... but that could be used for virtually any job, including in the field, without being babied. I was seeking a modern version of that, with a contemporary design. I think LC200N is a pretty great steel for it.

LC200N makes that pointy profile quite useable assuming you don’t pry with it. I like the kitchen camp knife concept. I have two dual duty kitchen/ outdoor knives as well as my “Kitchete/Buchete” (Trade marked)

I think the explanation I gave David for the functional requirements was something along the lines of 'a kitchen knife that could be used to hunt pigs'. So it would need to be pointy enough to dispatch a boar (which requires punching through the 'gristle armor' they build up), but tough enough to survive hitting ribs and scraping bone. And then sharp enough to butcher the hog,and then cut it up in the kitchen along with the veggies. And decent enough edge-holding to cut boar hide (their hair is notoriously abusive on knife edges).

I don't plan on doing that often. But as a litmus test, if it can do all of the above, it can do anything else I'm likely to use it for without worry. I can happily use it around fresh and salt water because its close to rust-proof.
