Although Kentucky is home to the World’s Largest Pocketknife, according to the Guinness Book of Records, it is highly improbable that you will be able to squeeze this one in the pocket of your blue jeans.
I travel to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, every year to enjoy the landscape and some of my favorite places to go on vacation. Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the biggest knife store in the world, is one of those. My friends, who are genuinely far bigger knife enthusiasts than I am, and I have spent hours strolling through the store together. Nevertheless, I always have a terrific time and, after searching, I choose a pocketknife to keep for the following year.
The World’s Largest Pocketknife
You’ll probably enjoy Smoky Mountain Knife Works whether you collect pocketknives or use them for everyday tasks. You should also check out the world’s largest pocketknife, which is located approximately five hours northwest of the largest knife store in the world. It is located in Radcliff, Kentucky, on the grounds of the Kentucky Museum of American Pocket Knives and Red Hill Cutlery.
Who Made the World’s Largest Pocketknife?
Red Hill Cutlery led the initiative to create the largest pocket knife in the world, working with the Radcliff/Fort Knox Tourism Commission and W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. Ward Frahler of Glenn’s Auto Body Shop in Vine Grove detailed the knife, which was constructed by Elizabethtown’s Modern Welding. It is situated on a pedestal composed of brick, concrete, and reinforced steel and was designed to mimic a Case XX Genuine Stag Barlowpattern.
How Big is the World’s Largest Pocketknife?
This enormous knife, which was completed in 2019, weighs over 6,200 pounds of American steel and has a handle that is 20 feet long and a blade that is more than 17 feet long. Although it’s a perfect replica of a traditional Barlow knife, it’s not one you’d want to carry around every day. It nearly resembles a huge guillotine. In any case, I’m crossing this place in Kentucky off my bucket list. A photo of the landmark can be found HERE.
