Huge Blades, where are they really?

[BladesRTools]

So i was wondering, witch blade is currently the biggest on the market? Being the biggest blades are in traditional circles(or so i think) i came here. Any tips? Thank you.

Are we talking just knives, or are we going up to machetes and swords and the like?

Now you are just asking for trouble! There's huge debates in some quarters about where a "knife" ends and a "sword" begins.

I kind of assumed, just wanted to know if he was looking for more like an Esee 6 or a broadsword

 

[Bob W]

Khukri knives are pretty darned big.

 

[stormyone]

I think he means like a Benchmade Rukus. Or teh original Spyderco fullsize Manix.

 

[BladesRTools]

As long as its considered a knife
So if possible, no machete`s/swords

 

[BladesRTools]

Fixed-Blades tend to be bigger, but any (branded) knife is allowed

I think he means like a Benchmade Rukus. Or teh original Spyderco fullsize Manix.

Doesn't the SOG Tomcat weigh like 20 lbs are something? Then of course there's some of those Busse knives that look like they are made to compensate for something ...

Big how? overall length? thickness? or a ratio of the two?

An ESEE 6, i consider a knife. Even an ESEE Junglas, i concider a knife, because of the relatively thick tang (its a challenge to find a bigger one)
An ESEE Lite or an Broadsword i do not concider a knife though (not that i wouldent want one )

Thats not really the reason i would buy one, but it would work.
Girls would probately get freaked out though...

It has to be quite hefty, so a nice thickness i guess... (without that it wouldent be a knife) But the ultimate goal is length.

Down Under Knives makes one called "The Outback"
I copied this specs off the website:
Overall length: 16”
Blade length 11”
Blade thickness: 6mm
Weight 800 g / 28.2 oz

Then theres the Rodent Waki.. would it be considered a knife? Or any other Swamp Rat/Scrap Yard/Busse offerings

My HI Dui Churra at over 22" is a beast of a knife. Here it is compared to a Busse Fat Fusion Battle Mistress.

Of course the Busse MOAB is a Huge Mofo in its own right. If we are talking about folders, the CS Large Espada is a sight to behold.

 

[CWL]

CS Espada XL might be your ticket. Maybe the Opinel Giant with its 10" blade.

I'm on a pre-list for the Spyderco 3V Tuff - that is not a small folder. Frame lock too, so far

 

[cziv]

Cold Steel is loaded with big blades, folders and fixed alike.

I'm thinking the big opinel. that is a folder for manly men who like traditionals.
