The biggest folding knife you eDC??

Buck 110 or a Schrade Old Timer 7OT right now. I have a Rough Rider Large Coke Bottle that is a little larger than these, that I might start carrying. I just have to get home to get it (and a "few" others) I bought for my Christmas presents last year. They did not arrive until after I had to go back to work.

This used to get more carry time than it does now, but this L54 from Andre Thorburn, with a 4 inch blade, is the largest in my collection:

Excuse me, good sir. You owe me a new keyboard, as the one I was just using has broken due to being covered in excessive drool.

At work, I tend to carry a Spyderco Manix2 XL. I've been surprised how many times a large FFG razor sharp blade has been useful in a retail setting. Outside of work, especially if I'm walking around, I'll carry my Cold Steel Kobun and a backup.

This thread is a heck of a throwback. Funnily enough, I now have another Manix2 XL and I have since gifted the Kobun to a co-worker at my old job. I carry these now, and have a couple more on the way or in the shop:


 
The biggest folder that I will consider carrying in my pocket is the Spydie Endura and like sized Spydies. I don't really care for the Endura actually even though I own two as it is too large for me.
 
Biggest folders in my EDC rotation are the Endura, Military, ZT 0561, Kershaw Lahar. I have the Military on me now and it really disappears into my pocket, amazingly enough. The ZT is not bad either, a few more sharp corners than on the Endura or Military, but still very pocketable.
 
I don't always carry folders larger than 3.6", but when I do, it is one of these:

Benchmade 760 LumTanto in M4
Benchamde 810 Contego in M4

Also liked the ZT 200, but ended up trading it.
Also interested in trying out a military. Never owned one of those.

My most often (and largest) EDC is my user ZT0600.

Same here. My 0600 changes out rotation with a 0620CF and a 0561, on occasion.

My full Titanium Military makes it out for kitchen duty once in a while. It can slice!

Usually, I am carrying a smaller folder, as well, for public use.
 
I carried an Endura daily for many years, back when the Endura's blade length was 4" instead of the current 3.75". Since then, I've stuck with shorter but a little bit heavier knives, usually nothing longer or heavier than an Al Mar SERE 2000 (3.6" blade, IIRC). I've always felt a knife with a 3-3.5" blade is just about right. That is until recently. A couple of months back, I bought a Benchmade 710 and I've been carrying it ever since. It has a 4" blade knife that carries in a handle like a 3.5" model...what's not to like?
