I just wanted to collect some thought on the subject as I have recently developed an affinity for slipjoints, and spend a good deal of time outdoors using them, my toughes tone to date aside from my vic alox farmer is my usa made schrade uncle henry senior stockman the sprins feel like vault doors...
 
The TL-29 style electricians knife by Camillus is a pretty rugged tool, and also holds it own well in the woods. The Camillus all steel demo knife is also a very strong pattern that packs a lot of utility, and works well in the field. Folding hunters like the case 6265SAB is a great outdoors blade and very rugged. I have used all 3 of them extensively at different points of my life and none of them ever let me down. Joe
 
Sodbuster,
Victorinox soldier,
Wenger SI,
Buck 301 stockman.

These are knives that have stood up to alot of above and beyond heavy use for me.
 
I'm gonna have to go with a soddie here. This is a little tank that can go anywhere and handle anything. Stockmen and Trappers are pretty tough patterns as well, and of course an Alox SAK won't let you down either, but a Sodbuster screams "TOUGH" at me.
 
1) Trapper

2) Stockman

3) Mini-Trapper

4) Canoe

5) Split-Back Whittler

Although I don't have one, I think a canoe would be a strong, stout little knife. What about a wildcat driller?
 
Toughest slippies to me are the alox saks, standards saks a close second:p The steel pinned cammillus and bucks are tough as well.
 
Recent Buck 301, integral bolsters, through ss pins. I've always gravitated to a big moose- ruin one end and use the other until you get back.:) Regards, ss.
 
I don't know, but those big fat Schatt & Morgan Reverse Gunstocks feel like they can hold up through pretty much anything you'd use a slipjoint for.

Most of my stockmans are delrin and workers.

The Camillus Roughcut stockman feels that it would work and work.

The Queen Cattle King is massive and solid.
The Queen large stockman also is very solid.
 
The Vintage Knives Model 1902 Moose (made by Queen) is one tough knife! It has a "walk and talk" that is more like a "run and roar!"

Camillus Rigger's knife, aka 'sailor's knife'. The lock-up is stronger, by far, than any other 'slippy' I've got. The blade on mine is 1/8" thick, and is a large 'coping' style blade, so it's not made for penetrating, but it cuts like a monster. It's stainless, but holds an edge really well. It also has a locking marlin spike, which has it's own uses. The whole package is pretty indestructible under heavy-duty use, IMO.

My father gave his father a Schrade/Walden Rigger's knife back in the mid-1960's, that I have now. The lock-up on that one is almost as solid, so to me, these seem to be a pretty tough pattern.

thx - cpr
 
I'm going to agree with 65hoss- Sodbusters are tough. Kissing Crane makes one that's top notch for like $10 in wood and carbon or less in stainless and synthetic. They were made in Germany, some say their Italian now. I would definetely pick one up.SMKW carries them.
 
I don't own a folding hunter, but I have picked up a number of them that I did not buy because of excessive blade wear. They are usually still very tight. I mention this pattern due to its size, I think people are tougher on bigger knives. (except ElCuchillo -LOL)
