Toughest Folders

[as08da09d14kljad089]

If you had to choose one folder that was super tough you can baton with what would you choose? (not asking for reccomendations) my choice benchmade adamas

id choose a fixed blade for anything that required toughness. especially for batoning. maybe a Medford if i were entertaining the idea.

You can baton with pretty much any folder if you disengage the lock.

I'd use a svord peasant knife. L6 steel and pretty much nothing in it that's going to break. If the front screw somehow breaks it takes 10 seconds to replace it. If the blade does break I'm out 20 bucks.

ZT 0550. Watch the "hard use testing: Zero Tolerance 0550" by Vininull on youtube. It sold me and the 0550 was the first ZT I bought. Its awesome!

Demko AD-10+P Ti 3V w/ convex grind has to be in the discussion. Since you happen to be looking in the direction of tough yet affordable production folders, you may want to take a look at the Cold Steel 4-MAX. 4.5mm of 20CV backed up by the venerable Tri-Ad Lock.

Benchmade Contego

Spyderco Tuff of course!

Though I would never actually baton with it. If I had to I would disengage the lock as marcinek said.

Why convex? Does it have more meterial behind the edge then a v grind?

Cold steel recon one XL

 

[Hickory n steel]

I would choose a vintage marbles pocket safety axe.
It may not be a folding knife but it is a hatchet with a folding bit guard.

The new Cold Steel Sr1 folder looks like a beast.

 

[Petunia D. Feeble]

Cold Steel Rajah II. It may not be the strongest out there, but it'll be close and I really like it.

 

[cricketdave]

Cold Steel 4max, its a tough beast of a folder. I've been using mine a lot since I got it a few months ago.

 

[T.K.C.]

Strider SMF or SnG.

 

[KIVALO]

ZT 0550, use mine all the time and its pretty stout knife for a folder.

 

[GB940Rookie]

I batoned through a telephone pole with my GB1.
Too bad no one was there to see it.
This is the one you want.

Apparently the Steel Will Gekko is supposed to be up to the task. Other than that Cold Steels with Tri-Ad locks might be another good bet. Any folder that has a very good lock is the best bet for batonning.

However you can actually baton with almost any folding knife (not well though) by doing the batonning with the knife unlocked. If you don't lock the knife you don't have to worry about battoning destroying your lockup.
