Ok, thanks! I need a Tuff now.

its definitely a TANK of a knife. I was gifted one by a member on here awhile back with the promise that if it doesn't suit me id pass it on, which I exactly what I did. I have a buddy that has 6 kids and tons of bills, so when he came to me looking for some advice for a new work knife I handed it to him and said "enjoy". he works at a fab shop that works on mostly farm equipment and yes, he uses (but not abuses) his knives rather hard. its been two months now, and the Tuff has taken everything he has thrown at it and aside from being a bit dirty/greasy, it looks just like it did the day I gave it to him and is still quite sharp.

You might be able to make it less expensive if you use origami paper.

Hogue EX02 and/or Benchmade Adamas folder!

Nimick · Feb 2, 2014

To be serious though, I'm surprised nobody's even mentioned the Airkat Tripwire II. That's a tank for sure, though most certainly well out of any price range.

Totally forgot about the Techno! Love that little booger. Fits the hand surprisingly well for how stumpy it appears.

@jac_solar good attempt at a list, but I don't consider blade thickness under 4mm/0.157" beefy.
And some E.g. Boker burnley kwaiken- ummm not even close to big and beefy. Compare it's stats vs the Leu I posted- the leu blade thickness is .2", Knife thickness is 5/8", 230 g, more than 8 oz. that's a tank!

True, true, but the list is supposed to be about the "large" folders (If they aren't long, they need to be beefy, etc.), and I'm not sure what to put the minimum length at.

But, thanks for reminding me about the Bluephin. It's a very nice, beefy looking folder. If you know of any other beefy folders that aren't on the list, please do tell.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Viper Rhino. Weighs between 8 and 9 ounces (depending on scale choice), available in wood of cf , and has a beefy sheep's-foot blade. Definitely worth some consideration.

the ExtremaRatio not cut, their bevel is poorly designed.
I suggest a Boker Minos, 5mm Blade thickness and 4mm Titanium frame. Without spending too much money, and is small enough to be carried every day.
But if you want the ultimate in size (and price), Carrillo Tunnel Ratt.

buckknifebibletotin · Apr 13, 2014

honestly i dont beleive there can be a stronger folder than my coldsteel voyager. i have literally beat that thing through anything and everything. i got it for 40 bucks so believe me im not afraid to kill it. ive thrown it, botonned through knots, full of chopped down 3" trees, pryed as much as i could without more leverage ect. if your looking for a true tank get a coldsteel with triad. stay away from the AK, recon and american lawman because they have hollow grinds. the rajah three has a full flat ground 4mm thick blade and the unkillable triad lock. and they are very light considering the insane strenght and overall size

Spyderco Military will do every thing that a knife should, unless of course you use it as a pry bar, in which case; buy a pry bar. Carried one throughout years of military all over the world, never let me down. Not to say that there arn't alternatives but they seem too exclusive, expensive to lose/replace and, in my opinion, complicated with bearings etc.
(Ok, they may open great but if your so limp wristed that you cant open a normal folder then, frankly you should not be carrying one any way!)

But I challenge you to find one "beefier" than this: http://southpaw-knives.com/Warbird.htm
