I have a CS Recon 1 and it is very strong. I have chopped tree limbs, stabbed cardboard, and dug in the earth with it and never worried about it failing. Has it stayed razor sharp? Nah. But it's easy enough to re-sharpen. Does the coating come off? Yeah. But then it turns all Boba-Fett and awesome.

My Benchmade 755 MPR. It's thick @ 0.610" but I forgive it because of its M390 blade-steel. The ZT 0200 and 0300 are the only ones that are beefier in the handle-thickness.
Less than 3" blade, and perhaps the sharpest knife I own...

These are the biggest ones i have, although I wouldn't really consider the Offset as tank-like as the others because of its locking mechanism.
The Horton Tac-4 is .190" in CPM-D2 :)

+3 on the Grayman Satu! The Satu could probably chop half these knives in half! The Dua is also a tank, although a mini me compared to the Satu!
 
Well this thread may have doomed me. I have a weakness for beefy folders, and as of yesterday found myself on the waiting list for a Direware Solo V2.
