I have been pretty much rotating between my Spyderco Enduras, my Benchmade 800 AFCK, and my Benchmade 910 Stryker for many, many, many years now. I prefer tip-down carry in my folders due to my exposure to/training in the concepts and practical skills espoused by the late Bob Kasper. Decided that I should start leaving the old Benchmades home, due to their relative rarity as vintage pieces. My question is--what might be a decent alternative to the BM 910 Stryker? Suggestions would be most appreciated! 🙂
 
Southern Grind: Spider Monkey Tanto

Similar to the 910, but tip-up carry
 
I had a look at the striker and immediately thought of the civivi baltair. But it is also tip up.

 
For whatever it's worth, after some trial and error, I decided to go with the Spyderco Shaman. Same general blade length as the 910 Stryker, same feel in pocket when closed, fast to draw and deploy from the pocket, solid and strong lockup, good steel, extremely sharp. Most important for me, especially given my specific drawstroke from my pocket--tip-down carry.

It is indeed a good choice. The blade is thick enough for most daily needs.
 
I like the Shaman as well. I have one I bought off the Exchange in M4 a couple years back.

I have way too many alternatives to even bother mentioning for the OP.
