The closed length of the knives below fit the 3.7 to 4 inch parameter. If you want the blade to be 3.7 to 4 inch, then these are probably short.MTHall720 wrote:I want a blade with a very light pull, yet a really large single blade, of st lest 3.7 inches or bigger. Is there such a thing?

Thanks. I have the 97 with the clip point and love it. Hoping for something a bit bigger and with a spearpoint.Doc B wrote:I'm assuming you already know...but didn't want to take it for granted. There are still a lot of nice #97's, their nail nick placements help with the lighter pull. Most have the clip blade...not sure if they make one with the spear point.

I had no idea that Tuna Valley was made by GEC. Good idea about the lockback being a lighter pull. That had not occurred to me to think of it that way.RalphAlsip wrote:The closed length of the knives below fit the 3.7 to 4 inch parameter.

The Tuna Valley branded knife shown was made by GEC. Not sure what the pattern number is (72?). A lock back example would probably have the lightest pull.
Wow. I have never seen one of those. I wonder if it takes a heavy pull to open one.gsmith7158 wrote:The only thing that comes to mind are old Sheffield English dirks.
Thank you.kootenay joe wrote:There is a Schlieper Eye Brand single blade knife listed in the "Knives For Sale" forum that is stated to be 5 1/2" closed with a Spear Point blade. Blade length not stated but would be over 4".

The Enhlish dirks are usually lockbacks so they don't have a heavy pull.MTHall720 wrote:Wow. I have never seen one of those. I wonder if it takes a heavy pull to open one.gsmith7158 wrote:The only thing that comes to mind are old Sheffield English dirks.
