Anyone have a Buck strider 880 or 881?

Thank you Goose! Your the best!
Where did the 880 appear from now? That thing is HUGE!!!!! I thought the 882 was a good sized folder!
Seeing those pics I think the 881 is the one I *need* :D Thanks!
 
My pleasure Jim.
It appeared in the mail today. I went fishing in the Bay the day I realized I "needed" one ;)
It is a beast. Heavy. I don't have a scale, but I'm guessing it is twice the weight of the 889SBMF.
 
Checking the 2006 Catalog on knife weight:

110 7.2 oz

112 5.6 oz

880 7.3 oz

882 5.4 oz

889 4.9 oz

Can't find the weight on the 881. Anyone know?

Yep...been carrying since I got it. Yep...it's a tank. Could be used as a brick.
Usually on folders I loosen the pivot to ease opening. This 880 Strider Buck Brick has enough heft in the blade that it flies open with just a flip of the thumb.

It weighs about the same as a 110 but "feels" heavier due to it being physically a bit larger. I imagine it would be like having a 110 with a pocket clip.

The cool things I like about the knife are the solid feel, construction, and blade geometry. Don't have the worry in the back of my mind of the point breaking/chipping off like I do with a 110.

Interesting that the construction that lends to the attributes above is the "only" thing I don't like about it...weight. But ya get used to it.

Great disclaimer Goose... and nice pictures! It appears that the 110 blade is slightly longer than the 880? However, the handle and blade on your 880 is more substantial. What is the blade length on the 880?

Thanks Woody.
The 880 blade is just a tad longer.
In the pic, the 880 tip is up against the bolster of the 110.

Blade length:
880 3-7/8" (9.8cm)
1103-3/4" (9.5cm)

Hope the pic works ok in showing the slight diff.

WOW my 880 just arrived! Its a tank!!!!!!!!!
So far I like it alot! Now I need to carry it for a few days...
 
O.K. here's a couple!
Bravo(850), 880, 882

880,Bravo(850),882


I really like the 880! When the blade is closed it actually fits inside the frame. With the 882/889 the blade sticks out of the handle about a 1/2" or so. The 882 is definately taller when in the pocket. The 880 takes up less space and I can get my car keys out while I'm carrying it! :D Its a KEEPER!!!!!!!!!
She cuts like a dream and is super sharp too ;)

Thanks again to all who commented! Thanks for buying your 880 so I could have some comparison pics Goose ;)
 
Yep Jim...I like my 880 too. As you indicated in mail, I do like the choil on the 889...but, hey, The Tank 880 is awesome. Easily see it becoming one of my favorite EDC folders.
The more I use it, the more I like it. Thanks to your initial inquiry in this thread for prodding me to check it out :thumbup:

What model/number is that Tanto in your pic Jim?

The model # is 850. The bravo is O.K. ;) I like the 880 alot better so far!

I initially thought I would miss the choil of the 889, but so far the 880 is very nice! I almost like it better ;)
