King of the hard-use folders!

[Shorttime]

Can some one clarify what hard use would be ?

Cutting bananas, I imagine!

Okay, okay. We've never really had a clear line where "normal" stops, and "hard" starts. Mostly it's been "you know it when you see it".

I would say that if you're cutting something which the world of construction has a specialized tool which will do the job faster and easier, you may be experiencing "hard use". But it's a general guideline, not a rule: corrugated cardboard will test the ergonomics, edge retention, and edge geometry of your knife, but it's not really hard use.

Woord carving with a folder, on the other hand, probably verges into hard use territory.

I like folders with built in protection:

Please don’t spam this poll with your jokes and non-knife content. This isn’t whine & cheese, if you haven’t noticed.

I chose Hinderer of the knives listed but it wouldn’t be the choice I’d spend my money on for a hard use knife in general. That would be a Demko 20

I tried to keep the cost somewhat affordable.. although the XM-24 might be a bit high. Aren’t the AD20s upwards of $500-$600?

Calm down francis.

Your “I need attention” meter running low today or something? Either participate in the poll or find some other form of entertainment.

I'd like to participate in the poll but the option I, and others, would like to choose isn't available. You can fix that. Or just ban me from the thread if you don't like the criticism of the obviously flawed poll options.

Yeah, without this, it is just another "which of these knives do you like best" poll. We did that recently. Same OP.

I vote ad15. Clearly, detecting and appreciating humor isn't this fellows strong suit. Now that I have cast my vote I'll bid you, good day!

They can be. If you look around you can get one in the $400s. Honestly even a 20.5 would be fine and is my hard use knife and is only $150

Personally, I think you and your friends should confine their trolling to w&c… a place reserved for you to do it, rather than prowling GKD to start trouble. But hey, that’s just my opinion.

If you want banned so badly, buy me a platinum membership and I will.

Huh, okay, seems like you could just add an "other" option . Oh well, I'll check back later to see if there is an "other" option like there should be. Flawed poll my man.

My vote is "none of the above", followed by a hard smash of the unwatch button.

Boru13 I don’t mean to be a bother but this guy isn’t getting the message

 

[DocJD]

So we can't have a thread devoted to folders for hard use without irrelevant , off topic disruptions ?

But the ones about expensive fixed blades are sacrosanct .

[patrickguignot]

Are you talking about the “mini” Adamas?

I have both but I prefer the large version.

 

[King of the Cheese]

I have both but I prefer the large version.

I’ve had both, yes the larger seems more suitable for hard use. The mini seems like a good EDC option for people that really like the large… but I’ve heard some complaints about closure during spine-whacking.
