For some reason the brother that gave me this thought it would be funny !
You can fold this baby up till the cows come home but it still feels a wee bit cumbersome !
;-) Crazy, Mac
That's a lot of knife there, Mac! I'd hate to think what that thing would do if actually placed in a pocket.

P.S. I do like drop-points, so it does have that going for it, I guess.

Could you give us some stats on that baby? PoB, CoP, etc...
I like it,

That's not a knife! This is a ... oh never mind... :)

I'll bet that blade is too thick to get a good CoP :D . And it looks like there is enough metal in that handle to inspire a negative number for the PoB :eek: (we usually list distance from hilt and just assume it is "blade-ward" (don't even get me started on whether that is a real word, I'm having too much fun with this thread); this one could mess that all up).

Here, here!! I'll settle for pool noodles or milk jugs, but I want to see some cutting with your collectors' edition, best-if-kept-in-pristine-condition knife! :p

'cause we all know that whatever you produce to highlight the end of that statement will only result in laughter.... :D
Mac, tell us, does it have it's own vitrine (I finally bothered to look that word up, so I have to use it) yet? Oh, and I have to know which is bigger, that knife folded or your keyboard? :lol:

Goodness, Greyson, your good .... I'm beginning to think you have one of these :-)
Aye, the POB is indeed back in the handle (stats in my last post)
Come clean now, there is no shame in owning Giant Gettysburg folders ;-) Mac

LOL! I'm an imagery analyst; it's my job to look at pictures and extract usable information from them.
Well, the knife open out-does your keyboard by just a touch, doesn't it? That's a lot of knife. And, no, I don't own one of those, but I almost wish I did so we could start some kind of exclusive Giant Gettysburg folders owners club. Then we'd really be cooler than everyone else (or something). :cool:

I'm waiting for the next Giant Gettysburg round table event to be held in the northeast, so I can pick one up on discount.

Wow! That thing's impressive, Mac. Is it proportionally difficult to open and close? I would imagine a lockback of that size could really help build some muscles.
Good grief! What a monster!!
Did you have to buy bigger pants to carry it? :lol:
Mac,
You might want to pick this baby up for the other pocket to help keep your balance! :lol:
It's a 1900's German 100 blade pocket knife. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

What I want to see is this guy's, with really big hands, 1911 automatic in 4.5 " calibre. :p
Something that one sometimes reads about in badly written novels where someone goofed with a decimal point. :lol:

Hi Jay
It's actually quite easy to open & close (though it definately requires both hands) so I'd say its size is kinda misleading in that respect !
The biggest workout with this thing is in trying to explain why you own it !
