As the title asks... What is your largest folder?
I am going to start with these two, one being the Cold Steel XL Espada, and the other a WW2 vintage folding machete that was made by Camillus Cutlery.
The Espada may be bordering on the fence of modern and traditional.
The knives that the Espada was inspired from, were definitely traditional, (they being the folding Spanish Navajas of olden days). They made them in sizes that would even dwarf the XL Espada!
But, if the Espada doesn't qualify as a traditional, well, the Camillus folding machete is not too far off from becoming an antique, so we know that's a traditional blade. It does have a liner lock, and I wonder if that was a unique feature for a folding blade of any sort for that period of time?
Anyhow, here are my largest folders, (with the XL Espada being housed in a display that also has one of my largest fixed blade knives, the Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie...
