kind of a bummer.
i got my strider SLCC in the mail yesterday. i feel like, with the popularity of strider knives, their quality is really going downhill.
i try not to be picky... but some things are bugging me about my new knife.
namely:
heat discoloration from the grinder
crummy stamping
dents/tooling marks in the spine
am i being too picky? i mean, striders are meant to be users, and we aren't talking about sebenzas here... but this thing was 325.00. and it's a custom! should stuff like this be acceptable?
and i'm not necessarily trying to bash strider either-- for the most part i'm a loyal customer-- i've owned an SA, MFS, SLCC (nightmare), 2 SNG's (gen5 and gen6), EB-T, and now this SLCC. i've never experienced QC like this on any of my previous striders.
let's just say... they don't make them like they used to. i hope they don't keep this trend up.
ps
no bos h.treat either :'(
