Maybe I might when they start making huge folders.

I think edo period Japan was a pretty good time for rocking the Katana out in public.

Kinda awkward going to Benihana's with it though... Would you chop up your own teriyaki steak?

When your state law has no blade length limit, why not?

That's just so weird with a state that has such hardcore gun laws like cali does. I'd rather be shot myself than hacked up with a blade. I've noticed that though that most knife manufacturers make folding knives with blades shorter than 4" more so than being made longer. That Medford looks nice with the 5" blade it's not cheap though and definitely over the 300.00 dollar mark.

Wanna know something else that is stupid about Cali?? CM can carry his 5" Darrel Ralph, but has to carry a 2" blade if it's an auto.

If I could find that 5" Medford in stock... I'd own one.

Some day you will see the light and come around to small folders! As a knife doctor who specializes in treating large-knife addiction, I would like to prescribe this 2.5" bladed Michael Burch folder:

Can we start an official petition for Cold Steel to just straight out hire Charlie Mike? Given their respective tastes, skillsets, style and philosophies it just seems like a no-brainer at this point.

I'm in and I think Matt would definitely be an asset to them.

I honestly think he'd be a huge asset to any company that was making knives that open on the draw. Seriously, if I was running anything like that I would, at minimum, send him some payment and put a prototype in his hands and listen to his feedback. I'm pretty genuinely convinced he's the leading expert on that deployment method.

With that custom you have coming in, if you do not own one already, I recommend the Talwar. They even make an XL, and both have the Demko plate. Also with your love of autos, and CA's laws, I recommend the Ti-Lite. It fires as fast and effortlessly as an auto, (absolutely no wrist action required). And unlike Autos, it will snag da pocket too.

They both have great walk and talk too. I have both in XHP and 4", and I tell you, they are sweet little knives, that punch way above their weight class ($).

I have
 
I just ordered a pair of Counter Point XL... gonna make kydex for a double 550 shoulder rig. This should free up my pockets.

So I have this rule... the $300 rule. I'm rarely disappointed when I abide.

If it costs less than $300, don't buy it.

I guess I should make an exception for Cold Steel folders. I already own a pair of Rajah 2 folders and I recently got a Tiger Claw folding kerambit... now I have a Spartan on order and I'm contemplating an XL Counter Point.

I feel kinda dirty... but I like it.

Rules are made to be broken Mike. Cold Steel makes a great budget product. I'd like to acquire some as users myself.

By following this rule, I keep my knife collection under 15 pieces. Soon, I will own 6 CS knives.
 
Here's a large folder made by Fox in Italy. It's called the Fox 500 Trakker Meskawi. The blade is 5 3/8".
