  2. Spyderco LionSpy: 1.64"
  3. Boker Pipsqueak: 1.58"
  4. MicroTech DOC: 1.48"
  5. Zero Tolerance 0300 series: 1.44"
  6. Spyderco Manix 2 XL: 1.41"
  7. Benchmade 755 MPR: 1.40"
  8. Brous Division: 1.36"

I always wanted a BM Onslaught ever since it was first introduced... but without having the option to switch the pocket clip over I couldn't justify it.

The clip is the one thing on the Onslaught I don't like. It's huge, horrible and it's fixed in a single position while the rest of the design is perfectly ambidextrous.

I like the knives with wide blades.
When I was looking for one, I finally made up my mind and chosen the zt0350
I was not disappointed
Very good knife
 
Personal experience, I have 2 ZT0350s and two CRKT M16 Big Dogs. I love my knives like I like my women. Sexy, beefy and sharp!
 
Also:

Viper Rhino
Dendra Tiger Jump
Dendra Defender
Dendra Typhoon
Combative Edge M1
Al Mar Payara

Of course, then there's Medford Knives Praetorian, Crusader Forge knives and Direware knives.
 
I think my favourite broad bladed, wide handled folder that I own is the LionSteel SR-2A...

I also enjoy my Spyderco Rock Lobster...

Boker's Pipsqueak is my favorite. Its described as the littlest big knife or the biggest little knife :) yeah it is a short knife but somehow the handle feels like a much larger and chunkier knife.

 
ZT 0550 is really beefy. Loving that knife, it feels blocky which makes it feel even thicker.

If I had to pick just one it'd be the MicroTech DOC edging out the ZT 0300. It has a nice flipper action, feels great in the hand and that spear point blade is just amazing!
 
Probably not what the OP is asking about, but I have a couple favorite thick handle/blade knives, the Benchmade Rukus and the Spyderco Vallotton.







 
Thanks RamZar, I know lots of these re too much $$ for me, but I'm gonna copy/save this list for future reference for sure, a lot of them look great.

The way the handle and blade just "go together" in the Onslaught is great-looking. Love that blade shape.
