I have one knife (actually both the large and small in the green handle) Gingrich Tactical Knives GTI FOLDER. https://www.personaldefenseworld.com/2014/05/the-gingrichkizer-gti-folding-knife/It is a bruiser! But I would put it up against any other "Survival" folder out there. Oh and this one IS special. I ordered it direct from him and it is engraved "SkunkHunter JYD#105" ! So needless to say I don't foresee ever getting rid of them. And the smaller one is prefect for a Sheeple Friendly blade, even more so than my Spyderco Para 3.

BC, if you are talking about the GTI folder, it is VERY heavy duty. It also carries surprisingly well. I would put it up against any other "Survival" folder you could name. AND boy does it sharpen up nice. That S35VN steel is amazing.
If you are looking for a robust heavy duty EOTW folder that won't cost you the price of a new set of tires, I HIGHLY recommend the Gingrich GTI folder. The small one is a nice sweet blade as well in it's own right.

Yes, it does look like a heavy duty overbuilt folder.
I like the looks of it too.

I think it is nice looking as well. I really like the green color and the "Sculpting" around the outside really makes it look nice.

Tough consideration!
If I was selecting in peace time ..
Fixed Blade = Swamp Rat RMD with G10 Handle Scales
Folding Blade = Spyderco PM2 DLC
If I was selecting for a "run out the door and live like Grizzly Adams" scenario ....
Fixed Blade = Busse FBM
Folding Blade = Spyderco PM2 DLC
