Down Under Knives Mistress
Here's one knife that Down Under Knives have been working on for quite a while. The mission was simple: push the limits and make the biggest, meanest blade that can still be reasonably called a knife, without compromising balance and usability in the slightest. To accomplish this, they started with the dimensions and basic lines of a colossal vintage Bowie dating from around 1858 and started hammering out prototype after prototype until it looked and behaved exactly like they wanted it. It's not the easiest or fastest development process in the world, but with a knife this size, you just can't slap something together in a CAD package and expect it to work. You have to feel it, to know when you got it just right.
The Mistress™ is the first curved back design from Down Under Knives, putting even more mass behind the arc of the blade right where it counts for unprecedented cutting and slashing power. To complement the shape, they gave it a distinctive coffin handle and a massive S-style hand guard machined from a monolithic block of solid brass. In a slight twist, during development, they decided to reverse the S to a style more commonly found in swords of the period. When you hold it, you'll know why - in this size class, it just works better that way.
Finally, Down Under Knives contained this beast in their signature heavy leather scabbard, patterned to match the Toothpick™.
