Recommendation? Big heavy and simplistic folders which are easy to clean?

I sharpen things.
Not technically a liner lock, but it's the same basic concept. Microtech Socom Elite
Don't disassemble them and you won't have to worry about putting them back together!
Not a liner lock, but check out the freeman 451 button lock folder. Easy, simple design that is very robust.

Just out of curiosity, which folders have you been trying to do this on?
Any large Cold Steel folder equipped with the Triad lock would meet your requirements.

There are more screws involved than the obvious choice of Sebenza, but my favorite quality is shared in the Microtech Socom Elite. There is no tuning to be done. You just tighten down every screw all the way and it's good to go. Even the pivot. No tweaking to be done. Fantastic knife too. I think one of the best values out there for what you're getting.
The manual's are starting to dry up and there's a rumor they're going back into the vault for a while, production-wise.

I have a thought !
Maybe not relevant exactly , but I personally prefer to use a super easy to clean fixed blade for really dirty chores .
Hardly ever do I fully disassemble a folder unless it badly needs repairs .

Folders of Framelock and linerlock are very easy to disassemble and put back.

Columbia River Large Batum.
Really only "large", compared to the smaller version of itself.
But simple and heavy, with a 3/16" blade, and framelock construction, which means 2 fewer pieces than a liner lock.
Now if you really want to throw money at this problem, go check out the Extrema Ratio RAO.
Make sure you pay a reputable dealer the nearly $500 (!) it takes to buy an authentic one, because Chinese copies do exist, and they're not nearly as skookum.
Yes, it's a steep buy-in, but it's one of the few folders which was intended from the start to be bashed against things and survive.
