i have plenty of busse kin knives.........i cant grasp the need for a freakin brick in the hand ZT knife...maybe im dumb....but if it requires something that big im gonna grab a fixed blade

You're not "dumb". Opinions differ and that's why discussions exist.

I would not call many of the knives from ZT, etc. "ginormous". There are far more impractical very large folding knives on the market. Some highly praised by the "mall ninja" types.

I carry gear that I know will do what I need done when I need it. I cannot trust anything that may fail when I need it the most.

When I carry a fixed blade, I only carry small fixed blades. A fixed blade the size of a deployed 4"-bladed folder is not practical for my needs. Those knives may be nearby in a vehicle or similar, but on my person, a robust and dependable folder is my choice.
