What’s your favorite large folder with 4 inch or greater blade?

Anyone who loves big folders should check out the BF Big Folder thread, four years of posts and still going strong. :)

Go Large--The BF Big Folder Thread

Hi All. I picked up another large folder Saturday--the Spyderco Police 4 in K390. I've been posting pics of it on several forums here, and thought that we could use a thread for pics and discussions of particularly big folding knives. My usual carry size centers right around 3.5-3.75 inches...

By literal process of elimination (selling most of my knives), my favorite 4" folder is the Microtech Socom Elite. Any large folder I'm thinking about buying has to get past this guy in order to be considered. :D

I've got a couple of big folders. I don't normally use them much; since hunting season is only about 3 Months each year.
Here's a Puma Red Stag at the bottom of the pile. The big Spyderco is pretty self-evident, and the rest are Schrade folding hunters. The one at the top is a single blade frame-lock version. The other two haved saw blasdes added to the package, and are identical friction lock models
But my favorite is the one I'll never carry. It was my Grampa's hunting knife. He carried it for well over 50 years.
That's the one that I might be buried with...

My brother recently bought me a serrated Spyderco Saltwater Knife. Long sabre grind. Has a lockback as well. The scales are bright yellow. I mostly use traditional folders, so the longer blade has worked great for me when cutting rope for lobstering.
 
Large Crooked River. Great action.
It has a 4", S30V blade and a slender profile, but it handles very nice.
Mine is with custom scales but the standard version is pretty nice also.

Have to plug the XL Voyager series again - especially the Tanto. The hallow grind makes it an insane slicer, I use it in the kitchen often. I’ve also beat on it pretty good in the woods, the AUS10 always strops right back. I love these knives and if you poke around, you can find great prices. I’m trying to love the large (4”) but oddly it’s not as slice-y…
