Best large folder for food prep
Manix XL, Military? Any other?
For camping/field use so easy to clean and rust resistance also needed.
Thanks!

I suggest the following if you are looking for new and current models
Folders:
1. Military (lightweight, lots of reach and a solid trustworthy tip. Excellent rust resistance and a square spine also would make for a great fire starter)
2. Manix 2 XL (all belly, solid lock, same S30V rust resistance and a square spine also)
3. Resilience (longest blade of the three with an open, easy to clean construction. Blade is less rust resistant than S30V, but not by much)
Fixed Blade:
1. Southfork ....
If you are willing to do a bit of secondary market hunting, the Catcherman is a terrific folding kitchen or camp knife. Thin stock and belly for days. H1 version means no rust ever, MBS-26 is highly rust resistant and AUS-8 is no slouch. This would be my pick of all of the folders I suggested, but the Southfork would be the best overall IMO.

South Fork. I've got it with me on business since the rental house has no sharp knives.

I think the Resilience is the obvious choice. Long cutting edge, FFG, decent shape for kitchen use, open construction for thorough washing, good rust resistant steel, and most of all not crazy expensive. I've been saying I wanted one for kitchen use ever since it came out but haven't got around to it.
That said I have used my Rock Lobster several times in the kitchen and it works very well. In fact, doing so won me a spot in the calendar.
Of course, they're not easy to find now and not cheap when you do, so I would still have to suggest the Resilience.

All depending on what you consider large and what you consider best.
I can't suggest 8Cr13Mov because I've had that rust on me a couple of times. A lot of kitchen knives come with 8Cr50 something.

Catcherman. Don't have one and want one. Thin stock is key to food prep for me. Not many blades over 3 inches with 2mm stock. Millie is long enough but the blade stock is a little too thick for some stuff. Can break produce rather than cut. Like driving a wedge through it. I am almost a vegetarian and like many vegetarians navigating this modern world of food is a challenge. Something to dissect produce on the go would be awesome for me and my personal diet which is packed with raw produce.
I apologize for how many times I have said this lately but, Super blue police3? w/2mm stock? Lets call it the "BFK Veggie Killer"
Evil D, that pic has wonderful color contrast.
