Biggest Production lockback folder?

[Wildone39]

Whats the biggest production lock back folder do they make and what would you carry for EDC? Example is Buck110 or Pocket Bushman. Is there Bigger?

cs vaquero grande iis the biggest i know of.

it isn't technically a back lock (triad lock) but the cold steel Espada VII i think actually holds the title biggest back lock

I carried a cs vaquero grande for a few weeks, very doable. However, I gave it up since I never used it with anyone else around. Sort of defeated the purpose of carrying a knife if I wouldn't use it.

My gosh, that Espada VII should be a fun carry.

I think there have been small runs of "display" knives with blades of 10-inches or more.

The XL Espada is a huge knife but it looks like you have them outdone.

Check out the size of some antique spanish navaja knives. Even bigger.
This is one example.

Overall length is 86cm (about 34 inches!)

Larger ones exist, but that was the largest I could find with just a five minute image search.

The CS Voyager X2 is the same knife as the Vaquero Grande but with a clip point blade.
I found its hollow ground edge is not nearly as strong as the flat ground Vaquero's.

Babakanoosh, details please ($, steel etc.)

who made that large folder that Mick Dundee had?

who made that large folder that Mick Dundee had?

When did he have a folder?

 

[Houndstooth]

I was going to say Benchmade LFK. But after seeing babakanoosh45's folder, I stand corrected.

Dundee had no folder that I know of. Me, I have both the Voyager X2 and the Vaquero, and both are very nice to carry if one is expecting trouble. The 5-inch Voyager also is a nice knife and very endearing. For every inch of blade that's added, you have to add a little more than 2 inches, so there's a substantial difference between the 5- and 6-inch versions. WARNING: An open Vaquero is almost guaranteed to create more than a stir in mixed company. Fortunately, it has a similar effect on bad guys.

This 5-inch bladed Cold Steel Gunsite is my favorite carry knife.

From top to bottom: Spyderco Native, CS Voyager X2, CS Voyager 5-inch,
and CS Vaquero.

How about the newer Cold Steel Rajah? 14" in overall length. Not sure if it is a lockback but it looks like one.

Sorry I just had to chuckle because saying navaja knives is like saying "knife knives." Just teasing if that is really what they are referred to as.

 

[udtjim]

I think the CS Rajah is the knig.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

I think the Vaquero Grande is a descendent of the old navajas.

You have some knice knives there. I have a 5" clippoint Voyager and the 5" Gunsite. They make an impressive pair.

The funniest reaction I ever got to my Vaquero Grande was one day I was chopping back thorns from the trail when a young girl coming home from school came around the turn and saw me there with this HUGE KNIFE in my hand ... and gave me a big smile for cutting the branches back so she could get by without getting snagged anymore.

Comparing this to your perfectly justified WARNING above, I'm reminded of the motto Evil to him who evil thinks.
