I'm a huge fan of the old-fashioned slip-joint pocket knives of yesteryear myself and am never without one (or two!). But since you specify STRONG for your folder needs I'll offer up one that I've found to be VERY ROBUST - the Cold Steel Voyager.

Lousy picture, but here are a couple pics of my latest stable of folders minus the modified Phat Bob (below) which I left with my kit on the ship.
All are 3" or less, my local carry limit.
I carry IWB almost exclusively.
Of the four, the cheapest most outsourced knife actually carries best. That Boker Hyper is so FLAT and slim, but has so much handle because it's wide that it disappears IWB. The mini-grip has a fantastic blade and lock, but the handle is too short on the underside. The kershaw is a great little knife, but it's COLD and its big brother is so much more awesome that it overshadows the little guy. The Spydie is a new favorite. It doesn't quite disappear IWB like the Boker due to pointy edges and a narrow handle, but ergos outshine the middle two and it's flawless.
I spent almost 5 months with this modified Phat Bob on me at sea, and it made a very respectable rigging knife. I'll never love 440C and a delrin back spacer would be nice, but it's a competent blade and received a lot of compliments. This knife has cut a lot of ethernet and power cables.

Got the same Dragonfly with me lately, very elegant blade, it takes the role of my gentleman folder. some other new guys riding with me lately as well...Native 5 In CTS-XHP steel is an awesome working blade and the Albatros in VG10 was just too awesome not to pick up, Jens Anso hasn't made a knife I don't love...

Yea that's a good call...personally I've never bought much Benchmade, they're quality blades but I've never been really attracted to most of them. I feel like there has been a bit of a shift over to Spyderco as the most popular folders. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong but I've seen so many Spydies in the past couple years.

Anyone know what this knife is that Summit posted above? Reminds me of a Boker, but not sure:
Hey Warrior ! Its a Boker Nano. These very cool little folders. Perfect for a secondary carry.

That is pretty cool looking. What's the other side look like on yours?
