Modern Classics: What are your favorite big folders from the 70's through 90's?

I still have a Puma Game Warden I bought bought back in 1970 for the outrageous price of $23 dollars. :D (for comparison purposes, in 1970 you could buy a model 94 Winchester lever action rifle at K-Mart for $49.95)

The Kershaw Folding Field 1050 is a very nice knife. A very sturdy and heavy knife. The suggested retail on this knife was $250.00 but I got this one for $175.00. I think the price is what made this knife a slow seller for Kershaw. Kershaw also made a matching fixed blade companion knife version of this knife.

I love the 1050 and I carried one for years.
In the early 80's driving in an ice storm from Pittsburgh to Atlanta I witnessed an accident. I stopped and noticed that the car had it's plastic bumper stuck between the wheel and the fender.
Before we could push the car I cut the plastic bumper off with my 1050.......Love that knife!:thumbup:
 
Not sure if you consider this "beefy" enough, but my '71 Case Sodbuster went through some stuff and still has that snap when you close it. Still have it.
