Buck Strider: Who has one?

I've got the large tanto... It is most definitely unusable due to it having the <b>worst</b> lockup of any folder I have ever owned. I'm sure that mine is not a typical example, but I cannot imagine how this knife made it past quality control. I can actually see <b>air</b> between the tang and the part of the liner which is supposed to engage when it is "locked" open. It is totally unsafe at this point, and I've never even used it to cut anything. It came this way. I need to send it back to Buck and I understand that their warranty service is top-notch so no worries about it being fixed, but it's just a pain... I like the knife and will probably include it in my bugout pack once it is repaired. It's too big for EDC for sure.

I own and abuse a large SP. It's definitely worth the
$100.00 or so bucks I paid for it. Mine is also very
easy to open with one flick of the wrist and also easy
to sharpen. I'll be looking for a small SP soon.

for my BG42 Buck strider mini spear point... the position tolerance of the lanyard hole is out as compared to my friend's BS mini
the angle of the clip is also out as compared to my firend' BS..
the thumbstud is also out of position as compared to my friend's BS.
the only things tat i like is ....its made of BG42, its a limited knife, and the 1st production run' engraved on it.....
i think the blade is too thick... is it 3/16"?? am i rite...?
its just too heavy for EDC... and.. hmm... i find it... errr.. never mind.. any way... i prefer thinner blade ... for ... cuting.... stuff like paper, rope... or prepare food stuff..... oh .. theses are just my opinions... ...
