What is a good, indestructable folding knife?

[Knife Lady]

Well some claim that their folding knives are almost as strong as a fixed blade.

Cold Steel say that about their Pocket Bushman folder:
"While it's physically impossible for any folding knife to ever match the strength and rigidity of a fixed blade, we believe our Pocket Bushman, with its new patent pending lock, is close to hitting the mark."

"The only way the Ram Safe™ lock can be overcome is if the blade breaks or if the pivot pin is sheared off. Two situations that are highly improbable."








For me it means it can take almost anything just like a fixed blade.

Ok and the key word being ALMOST.

alot beef on that one too! and very uniquely styled. i would love to get one, someday.

i had the RAO folder and it was a freaking beast. way more than i could have needed. very cool stuff though. just didn't do it for me. you can find them much cheaper than msrp if you look around on the forums and even egay

Emerson would be the one I would go for if looking for a damn good folder that is not too expensive

I have an Emerson Commander that I have used and severely abused 4-5 days a week for over 3 years and it has held up very well. My only beef is that it doesn't hold a sharp edge very well. I have to sharpen it weekly. I am not a pro on sharpening so maybe that's part of the issue, but regardless. I had took a piece out of the tip using it as a multi tool and sent it back to Emerson. They were all too happy to fix, polish, sharpen and replace the locking mechanism before sending her home to me .

154cm is highly regarded as a great steel. How are you sharpening it?

Ceramic stic and finish with deburring on smooth cardboard ?

 

[tradertator]

That should be working fine. I usually use my Sharpmaker, and you can shave with it with just a little work.
