Any chance of Strider making a larger fighter?

survivor · Nov 12, 2001

I was recently looking through the Strider Website and noticed that most fighter blades are between 6.5-6.75". I recently finished reeding Bill Bagwell's book "bowies, big knives and the best of battle blades" Mr Bagwell considers that a proper fighting knife must have a blade of 9-12" personally I would consider a 8.5-10" blade as the ideal I was wondering would there be anyone else who wants a Combat/Survival knife with a large blade apart from myself.

Hay I love the Ajax can I possibly find out more about the knife and any chance of seeing more pics

here are some more views of the Ajax...

as for more models which feature larger blades, the S-boys always have something up their sleeves...

at least 2 potential new models which should have 8.5" blades coming up in 2002. that's all i can say for now.

It would be great if they made a 9.5" - 10" clip point Bowie. I like the lines of the Dwyer custom for this.
