Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I haven't tried the auto praetorian, but I'm sure it's a winner.In terms of big folder? The top five here. But, an Opinel no. 13 will soon be added, which is bigger even than the Espada XL! So I'll have a new no. 1 biggest and the poor Boker Kalashnikov will get kicked out of fifth place! I love big folders and wanted to cry when I discovered the Praetorian Auto... never even LOOKED at a Medford. That's the one I want.
But if we include fixed blades, then my favorite large (large starts at 4" I guess) blades would be....
1. Cold Steel Espada XL S35VN
2. Ontario SP-1 1075
3. Cold Steel Voyager XL Tanto AUS-10A
4. (resellers) Verlangerungsmesser-style knife
5. 6" wooden stiletto. Wish cold steel made their Ti-Lites with wood.
You have a strong left arm, mister, to hold all of themThis is a carryover from IG. What are your top 5 big folders? Post them up! There were a couple I wanted to include but didn't make it.
From top to bottom:
Medford Knife and Tool TFF-H
MKT USMC FF
Alphahunter Tactical Design Warbowie
Shirogorov 111
MKT Marauder H

That 0600 is sweet. Not sure I've ever seen one of those.Here's a pic of 5 "big" ZTs that I just posted in another thread today. These aren't my "favorite" BIG 5; just 5 of the biggest ZTs that I own.
They are (top to bottom) the: 0600, 0452, 0560, 0804 and 0920. Blade length ranges from 3.75-4.25"; the 0600 being the longest.
