A good strong knife?

I have had good luck with my Benchmade Black Class knives. These are made for hard use. However, I would suggest looking up knife abuse test on YouTube. Some of these guys really go over the limits of what a folder should do. Look at this before you buy.

Folder?
ZT 300 / ZT 301

I cringed watching that video. When he was prying apart the wood all I could think is "That guy is one slip away from a trip to the hospital, or morgue."

As far as the knifes prying ability, naturally we aren't able to inspect the knife afterwards to tell if the pivot sustained any damage.

Is that what people are doing with their knives on Youtube? I wonder how many aspiring "knife-testers" wind up in the hospital, or with life-long, crippling, knife-related injuries. Perhaps all the "knife-test blooper" videos don't make it onto Youtube.

Folding pry-bar, isn't that like "jumbo-shrimp" ;)

I'm sure doing that regularly will eff the knife up. Hard use folders are for that one time occurrence when you need it and if it effs up the knife...just as long as it survives doing what needs to be done. As least that's how it's supposed to be. :)
 
I'm pretty sure OP just meant it as an expression. Like describing overbuilt knives such as ZTs, as opposed to thinner slicers.
 
I put a ZT 301 through some rather harsh 'tests' just to see if it would take it.
Helluva knife... just wish I liked flippers.
