me! Great pics!

AAAGGGHHHH!!!!!

Dang it! You're in cahoots with them aren't you. You must be working off commission. I just know it. You're trying to weaken my resistance so I'll go ahead and spend that money. Just when I've been lusting after an AD, too. I've done so well over the last few days to convince myself that I don't really need another Strider. Now I see this. I'm hopeless.

Green Timber,

I was in your shoes a week ago. I gave up trying to resist so I went ahead and ordered it. I live in NYC and carrying the AR makes me worry that I may end up in Jail even though the blade is slightly under 4". The looks alone was enough to convince any LEO that it wasn't the usual nail clipper. I got the AD because it is very concealable and the blade isn't as intimadating as the AR. The AD is a scary looking knife, but smaller in my book, is safer in Brooklyn

Do you use a light tent when shooting these? If not, may I ask how you lighted for the shots?

Bfm,

I use an overhead halogen.

Aluminumovercas, I am once again in awe. Very nice. I'm like you, in that, I wasn't sure about buying a fixed blade Strider for every day, around town carry. However, they are very concealable and go unnoticed. I had my TKa on over Christmas and no one in my family had a clue. If you like the AD, you'll have to check out the TKa at T.A.D next. I like this blade style more than any of the others in the four inch series.

I never miss an opportunity to praise the AD.... Strider's greatest creation. It's the perfect CQB weapon, it saved my life, I want to buy one for every decent human on earth AND THEY'RE DISCONTINUING IT??? Nice shots of a soon-to-be unavailable classic.
