Heavier Folders

Whenever I buy a knife, one of the main factors are how thick the tip of the knife is. I want a knife that I can use for heavy duty tasks if I don't have a fixed blade. Pretty much a ZT.

I don't want to have to worry if my tip is going to snap if I'm cutting something open or using it for work outside. I've never had a tip break on me, but I don't want one to.

I like large knives.
 
I realy love two heavy folders that I have picked up recently: my Kershaw Cryo and BM 300SN (Axis Lock Flipper.) The Cryo is a shade over 4 oz. and the BM is almost 5 oz. For relatively small knives, both are pretty heavy, but they carry well, and I will just have to wear suspenders to keep my pants up!;)

I bought my dad one for Christmas this year, and he loves it. But I would never buy one for myself. I have a the Spartan which is a much more practical size, and I think that it's plenty big enough.

It's probably the only knife that you could pull in SD and have the bad guy run in fear because you just pulled a 13" blade out of your pocket. Most fixed blades aren't even this long.
 
Beefy folders have their advantages. But my curiosity is, if you could somehow magic your beefy Hinderer to all of a sudden be half the weight would you do it?

I don't have a Hinderer, but I do have some heavy knives (BM 275, ZT 0301, ZT 0550, CS Spartan). And I like them being hefty, I wouldn't halve their weight.
