WOW""What an outstanding collection""Must have taken some time to aquire them.

As Warbird noted, the really big ones don't open too smartly. Here is one of those 6 footers that was for sale a few years back. The problem was that, despite a spring that looked like it came out of a '37 Buick, the knife would not fully open. The physics are such that the energy stored in the spring cannot fully overcome the mass of the blade.

That huge stilletto reminds me of an old irwin allen show called Land of the giants"""

The "baby" of the series the 37" would snap open fully

Now that's a Knife!!!

Is there a youtube video of it or any of the big ones in action?
