They stamp 2 on their rejects (2nds). And they sell them at a discount, they don't give them away.

This thread is going NOWHERE!
Most people who bash strider knives - have limited experience with strider knives... Once you really deal with the strider crew (either have your knife fixed-up, or just chat) - you'd become a staunch follower of the Strider Knives Co. :thumbup:
My only advice to original poster - THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!! :barf:

You know what is said, "Love it or leave it......."
What an absolute ignorant statement to make! The U.S. goverment had contracts for 800 dollar toilet seats too! Do you realy want to go there?
Dekdek,
1) How do you construe Midget is a customer, given that he bought a knife from a third party that was gifted and not meant for general consumption? Keep in mind, Mick still offers to honor the warranty.
2) Where did you get the idea that Mick was "breaking out his posse?"

Stop being ignorant yourself, you are acting like a cretin, get off your little stump, and go back in your cave troll. You have no buisness posting in this thread, since you previously posted your true feelings.dekdek said:
If you have no desire to buy or support anything affiliated with Strider the man and Strider the co. go move to canada, the US govt. is affiliated with Mr. Mick Strider, be it through law enforcement officers or this nation's great soldiers, lots of people that work for the govt. use striders. Oh damn, looks like I "went there"

You have no idea how stupid you sound do you? Just curious if you have ever bothered to re-read what you write, because you keep attempting to sound like you've been this great thread master, continually adding thoughtful posts and intelligence. But if you actually dig past your light-weight, half assed "rhetoric" (I put that in quotes since I don't think you are capable of legitamate rhetoric) you find...NOTHING. Go play with your trollish friends, there is nothing left for you to **** on in this thread.

A maker stamps his name on a blade because its his. Who gets it and how they get It dosent change who made it or the condition it was in on release. If its a reject you stamp it "R" or grind off the name or my preference cut it with a cutting torch. This protects your customers from recieving second class rejects at full price or having salers through ignorance or deception resale them representing them as first class.
Nobody has said he wouldnt warranty it. I did say his attitude sucks and he has a big mouth and he pissed in my wheaties with his less than strategic personal diss to me who basicly had no oppinion on his knives other than 2 I personaly inspected and as far as I know those 2 could have been traded for leg at a whorehouse here in Pattaya or could even be counterfit made in China copys being passed off here during Cobra Gold. But since Im nobody I guess Nobody cares.

Mick didn't break out his posse. The folks that are standing behind him in this thread are doing so out of respect for the man and his company, not because they were asked to by Mick.
Damn I'm glad I am able to make my own decisions and am not dependent on the overheated opinions of so many of the posters on threads like this one. At least its providing good entertainment.
Dekdek, you aren't a nobody and your opinion matters at least to me because you are a fellow poster. I am interested if your reasoning is based on well reasoned facts or simple kneejerk reactions.
It would seem that the biggest fault on Mick's behalf regarding the blade is that it was not explicitly stamped "NOT FOR SALE!" Perhaps he felt that with the other cosmetic flaws present in the blade that it would speak for itself. This pales in comparison to the fact that he gave this knife away in the first place, as he has done with MANY others, including making knives and donating the profits to organizations such as Camp I Can for autistic kids. He does all this very very low key. That's just my opinion.
Clearly there is shared liability to be borne by others rather than Mick alone. I think it is important to consider the overall context of each of these events before declaring someone is a jerk and that their gear sucks.

I say we take up a collection to buy Dekduck a dictionary, so that his posts will have a little more credibility.
This is truely a new low! I have a guy trying to correct my grammer on a knife forum. You cant even spell dekdek which is the name of my dog.
