Favorite overbuilt folder?

A lot of really great hardcore knives here but Dalibor takes the prize!! I ve been on a quest now for a few years to find the baddest most overbuilt knife and Dalibor takes the cake!!
 
ZT 0301. It strikes a fair compromise between being a big, beefy, overbuilt folding knife, but still being of a rational size and heft for urban everyday carry. It's pretty much as big a folding knife as I'm up for carrying. Great ergos on it as well. The handle contours and width fit my hand very well.

My strider sng, If you can call it overbuilt its very subtle IMO. Its like your average EDC knife, but the tips thicker, the lock geometry is strong, and the pivot is ginormous
 
Grayman Dua and Satu of course get an honorable mention! There are many nice overbuilt knives listed here! Well done people! Some you can slap on the CC others you need a second mortgage!
 
The Demko Custom American Lawman is pure sex. One day I will have it. Until that day comes, My favorite over built folder is the American Lawman w/ the Teflon stripped off the blade and the lock back.
 
My current favorite is my Benchmade Adamas. I am trying to find something that has been shown proven to be a better hard use folder for the money. The full custom knives are awesome. But if I pay north of $500 for a knive, it's not gonna see any hard use.
 
My definition of an overbuilt folder is a knife you can launch into space, have it pass through the sun, then catch it as it falls back to Earth 6mo later on the other side. I haven't found one yet.
 
I consider the AD-10 a standard folder not overbuilt, that is in it's standard construction, but everything is relative.
 
Dendra Tiger Jump Flipper manufactured by LionSteel of Italy. Great piece in terms of looks, action and beefiness. The 3.75" D2 blade's color is more like a charcoal gray and it's a whopping 0.21" thick!

The CF scale has ridges and there's a titanium framelock on the back with RotoBlock which locks it in place like a fixed blade.

Striderco, by any chance, have you had the opportunity to compare a Dalibor to the Demko AD-10? If so, thoughts?
 
Gonna have to go with my early addition Harsey Tactical T-3. It's probably the heaviest built knife I own. It's the only one I can carry and not worry the clip will snag on something and bend. Big thick lock bar with a Lawks. It's a tank.





 
Don't necessarily consider my Buck 110 overbuilt; however, it is large enough to do the job.
