Question for serious knife owners!

When I think of a durable folder I immediately think of a lot of ZT's knives. The heft they have to them can make them beasts.
 
Without hesitation, Chris Reeve Knives. When I joined these forums it was for one thing... to find myself the best Benchmade. It turned out that the knife I was after was indeed a CRK Sebenza.
 
Home made Light Saber is what you want. Ima telling you that your friends will be impressed

The light saber consisted of a blade of pure plasma emitted from the hilt and suspended in a force containment field. The field contained the immense heat of the plasma, protecting the wielder, and allowed the blade to keep its shape. The hilt was almost always self-fabricated by the wielder to match his or her specific needs, preferences and style. Due to the weightlessness of plasma and the strong gyroscopic effect generated by it, light sabers required a great deal of strength and dexterity to wield, and it was extremely difficult—and dangerous—for the untrained to attempt using. However, in the hands of an expert of the Force, the light saber was a weapon to be greatly respected and feared. To wield a light saber was to demonstrate incredible skill and confidence, as well as masterful dexterity and attunement to the Force.

Some background: The first light saber came into being when the precursor Je'daii Order combined advanced offworld technology with a forging ritual, learning how to "freeze" a laser beam. The earliest known functional light saber was the First Blade, built on Tython prior to the Force Wars by an unknown Je'daii Master known only as the Weapon Master. With the formation of the Jedi Order after the Force Wars, ceremonial weapons were an integral part of their order. For millennia afterwards, the Jedi continued to use bladed weapons like swords, as light sabers had not yet been refined for regular use.

There ya go....................

Assuming you're talking folders: get a Spyderco or a Zero Tolerance would be my advise. Spyderco has the most variation like NateReed stated. ZT has the best warranty/customer service in the folding business in my opinion. For fixed blades I'm recommending a Bark River 3V Gunny, Bravo 1 or Bravo 1.5 or perhaps an ESEE. I would like to stress that ridiculous thick overbuild custom knives look cool, but cut terrible. If you're really want to cut and slice a lot of stuff comfortably (instead of pry open for example) I recommend to get a thin flat ground and/or convex blade. Something like an 0350 (3 mm thin blade) or a Paramilitary 2 (3.5 mm tapered) or a Military (4 mm tapered, 4 inch long to a very precise thin tip). For woodcarving or skinning you can't beat the zero convexed 3V Gunny. In my opinion. Of course a back-locked Spyderco Delica is even cheaper, but I'll promise you that you'll find a liner-lock much more comfortable to use and play with. 120/140 USD will give you a lot of choices and won't break the bank. It's just enough to buy a nice quality folder and not too little to buy a back-locked knife that you'll end up not using anymore if you'll become a knife nut though all of this ;) For around 120 USD you can get an awesome ZT 0350 with great warranty that will cut like a demon, or a bigger and lighter Spyderco Military that will do the same. You can even go exotic and buy a Spyderco Zulu or PTT for that kind of money :) See YouTube for vids and reviews on all of these! Good luck! And I would love to hear what you have end up with!

The best made folder in the world will be destroyed in a hurry if you treat it like a fixed blade.

You should treat folders like folders and fixed blades like fixed blades. In that context, there are just as many "durable" folders as there are "durable" fixed blades.

To the OP. Welcome to BFC. Take some time and wonder around the forum. I'm sure you will find the information that you are looking for. Best regards - WB
 
None of these knives are my preference but these names are what I think of when I see someone asking for a knife able to survive a nuke. Some more than others obviously. Some also much more expensive and harder to aquire.

1. Crusader forge. Stupidly overbuilt
2. Strider
3. Chris reeve
4. Zero tolerance
5. Carillo knives
 
There are great knives made at every budget and you get what you pay for. If you spend $40 on a Buck 110, dont expect it to perform like a CRK Sebenza or Hinderer Xm18. On the high end I personally feel CRK makes the best knives for the $$. A plain jane one is pretty reasonable and once you get your hands on one, you will want more. There is a reason I have had 80 of them and counting. Hinderer's are nice, but i dont feel they are worth their second hand market prices. On the lower end below the CRK's, Kershaw, Spyderco, Benchmade among others are great, for their price range.

Just gotta list what your going to use it for to make a better assumption.
 
let put a question in that way: if you chosse an hig quality steel it will probably hold an adge very long, but can also chip if your's cutting task are not absolutely straight or develope rust in a marine enviroment- Otherwise a lower quality steell may not chip, nor rust, and be a real winner for a knife you whant to abuse. So I largely agree with those who told you that there is not best knife, thare are knifes wich are best for some tasks.
