Photos LARGE slip picture show

[JOELSM]

I may be a bit of an oddball when it comes to the traditional knife community, but I have to say I like large traditional knives. The recent GEC run of 97s have produced many photos for comparison of older models of various makers. There are some massive slip-joints I had no idea were in existence. I’d like to see more LARGE slip-joints in this thread. LARGE is subjective- especially in this crowd. So I’ll define LARGE as any slip-joint 4”+ closed (~10.16 cm). Please post slip-joints only! Try to upload pics that show scale. I’ll kick it off with a Queen #20 Daddy Toothpick (5” closed).

Let’s see those large slips.

Camillus that I found in a local hardware last year, among other models. I think this is a 26? I don't know camillus well without looking it up. 5 1/4" or so.

Schrade walden 225H. The H denotes the hole in the rear bolster. 5 1/4" as well. It's just enough to fit in the back pocket next to your wallet, in case you need to skin an elephant or t rex.

Those are some huge trappers! Largest trapper I have is this Case Star Spangled trapper that comes in at a measly 4 1/8 closed

I just love those cases. They are in the perfect condition for an old used knife to be; Well cared for, not too worn and with beautiful original patina. Shiny knives are not always best.

The cokes are great too by the way.

Thanks Paul. I prefer them with original patina but sometimes one that wasn't too vigorously cleaned catches my eye and joins the herd.
