What is your toughest, most durable blade you own?

Right now it's this one. S7 steel Bladesports competition knife. It's 3/8" thick. Making another one with 3/8" thick CPM M4.

My cheap-of-the-line Cold Steel khukri. I've never abused anything like I have this $20 hunk of metal.
With a 2lb sledge, I batonned about a dozen cases of Duraflame-style logs into fire-starter chunks (don't ask).

A little grinder work on the spine and it still looks and cuts just fine.
 
A 22 inch blade CPM 3V slimline machete from Robert Martin at tearsofthesword. I have beat the crap out of this thing and it takes it like a champ. I just ordered another, slightly shorter one. I own quite a few tough fixed blades, but that is at the top of the list.
 
Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri in San Mai. 5/16" thick spine and a VG-1 edge that is super tough and hard. The Kukri boomerang shape puts a lot of power behind the blade movement.
All Japanese forge welded and wrapped by softer steel. From the same country that produced Samurai swords....

haha good point. Mine has been beat on for a month now. Should show what it looks like now. I was pointing the size and steel being used as being the toughest.

Many great knives represented in this thread and some really cool pics.

From my humble collection I would have to vote for the Becker BK-2 though I also have a Busse SHBM that I keep in the safe and imagine to be very tough but it's a keeper, not a user for me. The BK-2 is very hard to beat.

I was just thinking that :rolleyes:
I'd say that the toughest knife I have is my Busse NMFSH. Little known fact: aside from its monster chopping abilities, it can effectively double as a shovel :D
