As the title suggests, looking for a "hard use" folder. I understand that overbuilt knives will hinder cutting performance but that's okay. I have other knives that are excellent cutters. I just keep blunting, rolling, snapping or breaking tips and so need something that I wont have to worry about if/when I need to use it hard.
I have looked at a few ZTs with thick stocks but based on photos, they seem to thin out to much towards the tip area - But my perception could be wrong.
I probably do use knives beyond what they are intended for - cutting, but I see them as tools and need a knife that can take abuse when needed, especially something with a robust and thick tip region.
Price would be up to about $400 or so. Prefer to keep it less than that if possible so it is easier to bring myself to use it.
Thanks!
