Buck Strider/Tarani in G-10 with plain edge is out

Ktint · Dec 31, 2004

I got one from my local ebay dealer. I was told there are only a few made so far. I don't see any on line dealers have it yet.Here is the link http://www.adamsarmory.com

I don't see any G-10 handled SBTs on the listed links. I good rule of thumb is that if you see "BUCK" printed on the handle it is TACCOM. The G-10 handles don't currently have "BUCK" stamped on them.

Why is the Strider/Tarani in G-10 with plain edge only a limited run? Why not make it part of the regular production line?

I am no expert but the scales on the ebay link look like G-10 to me. Question for anyone with the 882 what do you think of it, minus the old lock issue? Bulk, ease of open what ever?

Yep thats the G10 Plain Edge version. One of the guys from Buck stated (here on Bladeforums) a while ago that they would be making these. Check Here:

I have the combo edge version that I got from the same guy (AdamsArmory). I am awaiting the plain edge version that i just ordered. I love this knife. Fits my hand good, easy one hand opening and sharp as hell.

This guy did a review:

The design is very similar to Strider SNG except different steel and lock. All I can say is very useful for most cutting task becuse if different position you can hold and cut. You can hold for detail cutting. I like it except the tiny lock especially when you own SNG.

Are you sure they have the plain edge version? Only one I saw w/G-10 was the serated blade. I do see the plain edge version on the older 882 w/o the G-10 scales. Make sure you're getting the G-10 version, if that's what you want.

Hmmmm.. you're absolutely right. I wasn't looking carefully enough. Thanks for for waking me up, I nearly ordered the wrong thing!

Thought you might of made a mistake. Easy to do since the knives look the same in the pics. Glad to help out.
