Purchased a first-generation (S/N 090) Strider SnG from 3rdWound ( Rick H, accordkid99@yahoo.com ) on 11/10-11/2003, received blade on 11/14; CA to OH.
I just want to say to everyone that 3rdWound is all that his positive reviews here on BladeForums and everywhere else said that he is, and better.
The blade is practically new with nearly no cosmetic flaws anywhere and is functionally *_perfect_* (just as he elaborated in our private e-mails, "not even broken-in yet"), and came razor sharp.
Not only that, but this gentleman even took additional pictures of the blade for me within only minutes of my asking for them, and consistently replied to all subsequent e-mails in a timely and courteous manner, befitting a true enthusiast.
This was especially important when USPS failed to activate the tracking number on this blade, and Rick took the time to not only confirm that the number was correct, but actually scanned-in/digitized the USPS DC label receipt with postmark to help assure me that all should be well.
3rdWound is an incredible guy to deal with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you, Rick, it was a true pleasure.
