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?
 
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.
 
I only carry this Lockback when I have suspenders on...LOL!!!!:D

Check out the size of some antique spanish navaja knives. Even bigger. :D
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.) :D

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.

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.
