Yeah I don't know about the boot knife.

For tactical folders Emerson's are up there, along with some of the beefed up Spyderco and Benchmade offerings. Zero Tolerance is comparable to Emerson as a hard use line of knives (owned by Kershaw I think). Al Mar makes some sturdy knives in the SERE line too.

But, apparently in line with your thinking, no folder is ever going to be a genuine hard use knife. My choice for pretty much every application in a fixed blade is the Esee 4. Great warranty and will take serious abuse.

Esee 5
I have knives made by each of these manufacturers, and the ZT comes in first place for toughness, followed by the ESEE 5. Spyderco Military is what I carry every day, and it is my favorite folder ever. The only complaint I can have with the ZT was it's weight and size.

I honestly do no think any of those manufacturers can come close to Emerson as far as being a primarily defense knife. I also stick with my suggestion as using a neck knife for backup
