Go Large--The BF Big Folder Thread

[Dadpool]

I don't think I've seen a ZT0200 in this thread yet.

Here's a comparison with my faithful EDC knife, an Emerson CQC-7V:

It's kind of an odd duck, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It has a 4" blade with a 3 7/8" cutting edge (and that great recurve!), but by the AKTI standardized measuring system for folders, that "horn" on the handle means it counts as a 3 1/2" blade. At 7.8 oz. it's not a light knife, but at 8 3/4" long it's also not really that long. It's a big knife that somehow feels more like a medium knife.

As best I can tell, the little horn is there primarily to make room for the tip-down clip mounting points (does anyone tip-down carry a flipper?), and secondarily for aesthetics. I like the lines of this knife, and the horn as part of that look, but part of me wishes it wasn't there. I'm a big fan of washers, unassisted opening, liner locks, and a slow-roll option (thumb stud, disk, hole, etc.) -- the 0200 ticks a lot of boxes for me, and is markedly different from what ZT tends to make these days.

After the Satu, the 0200 feels positively dainty.

After the Satu, the 0200 looks like a Mnandi. That Satu is big in every direction.

Grayman Satu is really a beast. But like someone mentioned it carries really well in the pocket.

Feels even better in the hand than most knives when it comes to actually cutting chores.

Here are my big guys. Spyderco Ulize, Spyderco XHP Military, and ZT 0452CF. The 0452CF is my first ZT and my current favorite of these three.

I always like to see an Ulize.

Nice well-used Mille, 91bravo . Great wear and lotta love and pocket time there.

I've got two Millies--a fluted Ti and black-bladed DigiCamo (with matching PM 2 & 3)--but carry and use 'em very lightly as they're so sweet and I hate to see 'em get beat up. I need to get one to carry and beat on as they're such great knives. Maybe one like my PJ Para2 that's just a regular user....

Thanks Chazz! This Millie has been a joy to carry and use for the last few months!

I think you just won the competition. Ok! which pocket do you carry it in.

You might not want to let that newborn baby hold your pocket knife!

In the above you have three folders which appear to be three different sizes. Who made the one in the middle and what model is it. Really like. Thanks.

Easy question. Concealing an 18” folder is a piece of cake.
