I was doing some maintenance on some of my vintage folders including the two posted and I thought/wondered what are the largest and smallest examples I own? These two are the winners. A HSB OVB Lock Back Coke Bottle (made by NYKC) at 5.5 inches closed and 9.5 inches open and a Schrade Cut Co split back Whittler at 3 inches closed and 4.75 inches open. What do you have Largest and Smallest? Thanks for looking, Lloyd
 
Nice knives, Lloyd.

edit: Oops. I missed "vintage" from the title so I removed the modern Opinels. Hmmm... My largest vintage traditional folder is probably a Joseph Rodgers plier knife.... and my smallest is probably an E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter pen knife ...or maybe a Cattaraugus peanut.

I probably fall in the middle. My largest is my 1973 Buck 110 at 4 7/8" closed and my two smallest (not that small) are the Colt and the new to me Lakota Teal at 2 5/8".

 
Very nice Lloyd, beautiful bone on that HSB.


One of the largest I own is this Shatt&Morgan made for the Canadian Navy WW1,

And I think the smallest is this KeenKutter at just under 3"
