Possibly The World's Largest Folding Knife (Bowie)

Post by Hukk »

I remember something about PA Knives looking for the World's Largest Folding Knife. Well, while browsing I did find a MONSTER folding Bowie in Wisconsin. OK, I'll stop ::blah:: and here is a link to The "Monster Knife" of John Fox Potter.

Even if this is not the one it is a nice read. NO, I would not try to put it in my pocket, even if it fit; my pants would be down around my ankles. :lol:

Nice story,

This close to what I was looking for, but not exactly. I do appreciate the fact that my knife friends are still searching though. The one I am looking for isn't a folder, but is a carving knife made by the Beaver Falls Co. that was located near Pittsburgh PA. This story would make a good article too. Thanks again
