I went down to my friendly overpriced neighborhood "shiv" dealer to take a look at one of the new striders. (I am embarassed to say that I never actually BUY anything from them, I just go there to fondle all the knives that I will later purchase for a resonable price, over the internet, of course.) The strider was there (for $195 i might add). Anyway, very impressive knife, very "overbuilt", very "tough", very possibly might make me feel better about my less than well endowed...um...pectoral muscles. I have one question though. This was a 1st production run model. I thought that the G-10 handles were VERY rough, and while being unforgiving to the hand, I imagined that they would be devistating to the PANTS. I just had a vision of that hugely fat handle with its sharp scales eating a giant hole in my khaki dockers.
Anyway, have they made any changes to the handle in the regular production models?? or are they all the same as the 1st production run models?? And if they are the same, are those rough handles a problem?? Thanks in advance for your responses.
