Okay, I know that this may seem a bit dumb to some of y'all... but reading through the thread on why own anything but Striders got me thinking. I don't currently own any, but there are several I like. What I need is to be convinced that my Busse's that I currently own would be out performed by a Strider. I have a Badger Attack E that I dearly love, and a Battle Mistress E that I hardly ever use, which I could sell to provide funding for a Strider. The models I like are the BT, MT (especially the one on TAD right now with the spine serrations), and WB, yet I only see the MT as a really functional field tool, as I don't see much use for a tanto blade. I'm hoping y'all can sell me on why they perform better than a more traditional drop point style blade in the field, as well as to why it would perform better than a flat ground blade in camp situations.
Keep in mind that I will be more than likely replacing the Badger with it as my main knife on camping and backpacking trips as well as at work.
