"Built like a Tank and Cuts like a Dream", end of story, Period.

Used to think the Ti handles scratched too easily and it cost too much, not anymore after using one, boy does it cut it and before anyone says it costs too much, you could always get one here from time to time for around $250 LNIB for a large one, but i think it's worth the price either way you go, built to last life times, two or three at least i would say and then some. Truly made to cut and last, best hard use to do everything folder if there was ever one IMHO.

Any of the larger Benchmade axis knives with the 806D2 being the more affordable and replaceable pick.

I've got some Spydies on the way that may change my opinion.
 
My Severtech auto. Strong, tough as nails, well finished, not pretty, and an auto. It has a lifetime warrantee to boot!!!

I would have to second the BM 806D2 I just got mine in on Wed and this thing begs to be used. This will definitley be my "go to" folder but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for my Stryker;)
 
Of all the knives I have, I suppose an old Camillus military issue "camp knife" (I don't have the knife with me and can't remember the model no.) would be the beater knife. I have used it for the following: Open cans/bottles/plastic bubbles, dig lead out of wood, punch holes into whatever, strip wire, peel and slice fruits/food, whittle, cut bait/gut fish, etc. Most of my other knives are "pretty boys" that couldn't do half the chores of the old Camillus pocket knife. Hmm, this makes me wonder why I need all of those other knives. :confused:
 
My first choice for a tough all-purpose folder is the Camillus CUDA Maxx Bowie. It combines excellent cutting ability, a versatile blade shape, tremendous lock strength, simplicity of design, and top-quality materials. This is a knife I would trust with my life.

Benchmade 710HS. I've tried to find something better, but I think it's impossible. I've carried a 710 for over 2 years now and no amount of abuse has fazed it. Flicking, stabbing, endless opening and closing, nothing hurt it. Thick stainless liners, thick enough tip (thicker than Military but usleful, unlike a Commander), Axis lock, strong steel. OH, and sharp, can't forget that. That's enough 1 handed typing for now, must get back to playing with knives....

I will second the Benchmade 710HS, I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and it has quickly become my favorite hard use folder.
 
I also tend to think of "hard use" as something more than simply cutting cardboard. But for the money, I'd have to say my CRKT is the knife I'd reach for if I needed a folder and knew something terrible was about to happen.

Any of the Greco folders. These framelocks are nothing short of INCREDIBLE. If you can't do it with a Greco, you can't do it with a folder.

I just picked up in a trade a Farid T-1000 which has to be the heaviest duty folding knife I've ever seen. If abducted by aliens it would put them over their weight limit and they wouldn't be able to take off. Its got a razor sharp edge, although I haven't had it long enough to use it in very many of my usual daily cutting situations yet.
 
If you mean a folder for "hard-use do everything" CUTTING, then my Spyderco G-10 Police is my very best.

It has alot of the same features that you like in your Military (long flat-ground blade, G-10 handle slabs, large comfortable handle, large thumb-hole).
The only reason I prefer it over the Military is that it's a lock-back instead of liner-lock, it has a slightly longer blade, it weighs alittle less, and it just fits my grip better.

Now if you mean a folder that can also be used as a pry-bar, reamer, scraper, center-punch, chisel, ect...things that should be done with a multi-tool or a specialized tool--then my favorite would be my CRKT Bladelock.

Good luck,
Allen.
