Large or Largest slip-joint pocket knife?

The Plow is a thin FFG that is exceptional at cutting. The first series had great utility blades in the $30 range - but the frame was lackluster. We tried it again and got a great $50 solution. We even stonewashed them for a little more cosmetics. I have the first series in toolboxes, at my desk for opening boxes, et.al. Wasn't so liberal with the second run since they moved out of the range where I don't mind being a bit abusive.

Full Flat Grind, D2 steel and, a little sharper tip is just what a Sodbuster needs!

The one I had before had such a blunt tip, it was pretty worthless anywhere other than out in the field. In town, I might as well be trying to use a coil to open a bag of chips or pastry wrapper with its thick edge and thick blade profile with that blunt 'bull nose'.
 
Check out Manly; I have their UK legal carry Wasp but they do bigger knives; slipjoints was and even S90V steel in budget.

I think they have a US distributor too (they are Bulgarian; Europe).
 
What about a Buck 110? You could get one with a drop point, finger grooves, whatever. It would have acceptable steel and theyre proven tools. Its a pretty large knife.
If you want a slipjoint, how about a Case Trapper in jigged bone (for grip)? Theyre fairly large and can be found in stainless steel. Plus you would get 2 blades.

I had a similar knife from Boker in that style and found it to be think edged and thick at the spine causing to wedge a good deal in addition to be a poor cutter for anything not really hard. A danish in a cellophane bag was its nemesis as was cutting paper or soft food items.

How is the Maserin Plow in terms of thickness and cutting in general? Thanks!

For me , it’s been great cutting tarred bank line, twine, and lime for drinks. Happy with it for sure.

I assume you're referring to the Case Sodbuster in the 2nd part of this post? I had the same experience. It might as well have had a rounded off tip. I reprofiled it for a bit better performance but never went back to using it once I had other beaters like a simple SAK. I've been interested in trying the Maserin for a while. One day...

Mine was made by Boker but, it was the same as the Case version only in 440C instead of "True Sharp".
