strongest folder?

[DennisStrickland]

strongest folder? crusader forge 11.6 oz.---triple temp s30. the 4 in. gec whitt is for comparison. biggie has titiniam handles all parts machined including the clip.

I hope you have a comfortable sheath for that monster. 11 ozs. is more

than a lot of fixed blades.

frame lock? I like this trend in overbuilt folders.

My Custom Dozier Folding Hunter is built like a bank vault, :thumbup: :thumbup:


...there is no folder I trust more.



Of course fixed blades rule for real hard use.

Wonder why this this exact same subject keeps reappearing in new threads... Especially considering there's no contest: it's the ER RAO. Nothing else comes close.

The ER RAO is second only to the Demko folder in that other thread. There's a good explanation in that thread as to why the Demko is stronger.

And I believe the spirit of this thread is what each person that replies owns that they consider to be the strongest.

Rao is IMO not close to Demko's folders. Little itty bitty aluminum stopping the mama huge lockbar from popping out of the scales (referring to the Rao). The aluminum is the softer type compared to the ZT500's stronger aluminum (or so I've been told).

I've used a file to grind the Rao's handle (wanted handle to be more ergonomic) and I've also filed some 7 thousand series aluminum (not sure number, Alpha Innovation made me a custom knuck and I filed it to my desired final shape) and the difference is significant.

I do not have very high regard for Extrema Ratio's folders truth be told. However to those who like it then good for you.

PS: Dropped my Rao and the screw came off. Tried to screw it in again and the aluminum stripped. Replaced screws with paracord (all I had at the time) and it is more secure. As with most of my aluminum handled ER folders, it is not good to open it up, the screws strip the soft aluminum very easily.

What did you pay for that one? Do they make left handed versions as well?
