The Zero Tolerance 200 is under $200.00 and from what STR and the people on the passaround thread have said this is one strong ass knife. I dont know if you can stand on it sideways like in the DO hype pisture but i think that picture is a setup. I think he very very carefully stood on it and didnt move at all. Do that to your folder and you desserve to break it. I was a climber for years and did mixed rock n ice in Alaska growing up, I never needed to use my knife as a pitton and thats a seriously bad idea anyways. Your belay partner will not apreciate it when it loads and breaks. Im shure you know from rope spec reading the amount of wieght put on pro when you fall from 10 feet over it (thats 20' by the time the fall ends because you fall equal distance down past your piece of pro that catches you). Tactical Knives just did a review of the knife and although I dont read that magazine I picked it up to check the review. They abused it well and it came out smellin or proverbial roses so to speak. Id say go read the reviews in the pass around and go get one, it will be as strong as a 200 folder can be. Then get a crow bar cut off 2/3'rds and cary it, you can stand on it shoved between two bricks.
