show us your big guys!

Although I do like the smaller folding knives, and they certainly go nicely in the pocket, nothing GEC makes in its smaller size packages compares to the satisfaction I take in a geniune, large, serious working knife like the ones GEC occasionally puts out. Their larger knives lay down a marker for what a traditional knife is capable of, putting them right up there alongside modern tactical folders in terms of form, reliability and function. The knives below, in the hand, give a feeling of total power and confidence to handle any task - I like them a lot!

Do they have to be GECs?

 

[Camillus]

Nothing stated in my post about that! I would like to see some other big folders. But I think it has to be folders, as if it was fixed blades it could get ridiculous..

I like 4" patterns as well. Still looking for a good 4"-4.25" stockman pattern. Great thread idea Camillus !

The Mudbug in this photo is definitely on the large size.

As is this HUGE Texas Camp Knife

Doh!! There's another awesome Mudbug.

This Camillus definitely not small.

That's a nice large #42

This Buck 110 in D2 is both heavy and big.

Even the Queen Mountain Man is pretty large.

These are pretty big.

My Remington Master Guide trapper is the largest slipjoint I own, at 5.32" closed. Here it is next to a peanut.

This File & Wire daddy barlow is an even 5" closed.

Another 5 incher, this Rough Rider folding hunter is a handlful.

This pair of Case #75 pattern stockmen are just over 4¼" closed.

Some of the big ones I own, all over 4".

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Holy cow! That bike must be like 3" tall!

 

[hhmoore]

These are the biggest ones that I carry (because I'm still looking for the right GEC 73)

then I came across this box while looking for something else

but none of the above are truly BIG; so I dug into the old Case box & pulled these out

with the copperlock for comparison

 

[yablanowitz]

Of course, no "big ones" thread can be complete without an Opinel #13.

How about a 15 Effile with a few 10's and an 8
