The technicalities between when a knife becomes a sword are vague, but as most 'battle ready' folders are not going to get into the two-handed sword range, I thought this would be the correct place to post. Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to post really, really big folding knives (or swords), that are still usable and tough enough to be considered combat ready. Like this: So far I've found these: The Cold Steel Rajah II: The Cold Steel Espada XL: (Pictures randomly found on the internet). Got an even bigger folder in mind? Post it here. Attachments:

I'm not at home right now, but I have this little fella: Only photo I have on my phone right now, but the big one there has a 9-inch blade, the others are just under 4 inches. Well, the big metal one is redundant closer to 5 inches, but the cutting edge is only 4. Anyway, overall length on the big one is just under 20 inches. Closed it's 10 inches or so, but fits into a typical men's jean pocket fully.

Timo, I said in the OP that folders weren't going to get up to two-handed size. Well, I stand corrected. That not even a sword, that's a pole arm.

I have toyed with the idea of trying to turn a machete into a folder but can't think of a simple way to build a locking mechanism that will survive hard use.

Looks like somebody already beat you to it. Now that's just ridiculous....

Well, I think we'll have a hard time topping that. Still, it's not exactly 'battle ready', is it? You could just push it over onto whatever you were trying to chop I suppose....

I must admit I went along this same thought process after watching Riddick
