thanks, fellas. yeah, that is my hand in the pic and i wear an XL glove. it is around 10" open with a 4" blade. i just love big, stout folders. i always wanted a big custom folder when i was younger, but never could afford them. some full customs go for a couple grand or more. now, i just make what i want. pretty nice feeling. oh, and my frame locks are not near that pricey.

Dozer, that is beautiful. Any chance you could make somthing a little less robust? I love the look of it, but I'd need something smaller for an EDC blade.

I apologize now...

I love the look. Is that square corner at the base of the blade when folded going to be too pointy? I can see that wearing out a pocket.

That corner sticking out when closed was actually intentional. This design is a collaboration with a friend of mine. He wanted me to build it this way to act as an impact weapon or window breaker. Not sure how I feel about that at this point. It may be absent from the finished product when I start making them available for purchase. And we do have a smaller model planned as well. I like to really test out folders before I start selling them. You never know what little things you might want to change after living with a knife for a while. I already know the next one will have slightly taller blade grind. Just think that will look better on such a wide blade.

I am so screwed if you are getting into folders...

Especially if you do a version of the Drop Out Hunter.
