Average age of strider owner???

I am 45 and don't have a Strider or a CRK. I doubt I will ever buy either simply because I can't justify spending that much on a knife. Yet for some reason I have 3 high end Mountain Bikes. Mind you if someone thought they were too old to own either knife I would gladly take it from them and give it a good home.

Dude, Homie, and Bro are not in my vocabulary unless I am being sarcastic. I think that speach patterns have more to do with your environment then anything. I grew up in a small prominently white town before hip hop and rap took off and living in eastern Ontario there wasn't much of a surfing crowd:D
 
Reading the post's that list age...makes me the ""old"" guy...Just turned 57..I have 3...SMF , SNG & PT..
Carry the SNG a few times a week ( I always have 2 knives on me ) ..Carry the PT , a LOT...
SMF , very rare...
Size and appearance is the difference...

Turn that around, and that is exactly the reasoning I use to justify my purchase of a $400-$500 knife.

Saying to myself, at least its not 4K on another mtn bike!

Oh, I'm 43 and currently own 2 SnG's.
 
Well I'm 52 and do not own one......yet. Maybe someday, I have 2 of the Buck/Strider knives that I like very much, but cost a whole lot less. :eek:
 
I'm 44 and I have 4 Striders and I'm constantly trying to hold myself back from buying a fifth. I don't see how age plays into wanting a beautiful strong knife. I have other knives that may be more "gentlemanly," but I have a PT CC in my pocket pretty much every day. I figure that it will handle everything I expect to do with it, but will also handle something I might not expect. I might carry a Case knife or a Mnandi to a wedding. It's more about the slacks/suit pant material. Otherwise, it's the PT. If people wouldn't be so freaked out by it, I'd probably carry an SnG more than I do.
 
Oh, gotta say one more thing about this. If you've got a knife that's pretty much gonna cost $300, twice that more and probably require some real research into what the "best knife" is, a kid isn't going to find that as readily. They're not going to have that much money lying around. I see younger kids drooling over Kershaws and maybe a Spyderco, not that there's anything wrong with either of those companies. They both make fine knives!

I can see why one would be deceived about age on forums based on some posts thinking someone was younger than they maybe are. Its probably true some never grow up and remain sixteen in their heads long after their biological age is beyond the mid life crisis stage but I think many come across differently when writing than they do when you meet and speak with them. It would be interesting to note somehow how many speak just as they write. My guess is not many.

Warning: thread drift

I think one interesting thing is how some of the older members and the younger members kinda sound the same in writing. I think it's because the older ones never learned to type and the younger ones type in leet and texting abbreviations.

Some of the 14 year old boys and 70 year old men are about equally hard to understand. The major difference is that the older ones actually know useful stuff, if you can manage to extract it from their bad typing and spelling.
 
40 and just don't like the Striders I've held and checked out so never will buy one.
 
37 and own 1 folder and a couple Strider fixed. If I never buy buy another, I'd say the ones I own will last me a lifetime of use. Don't plan on selling them now, but I guess sometimes interests and preferences do change along with your knife task requirements.
 
50+ and don't have any interest in a Strider. I've looked, but don't see one that appeals to me.
