Strider GG DB Tanto with Carpenter Micro Melt PD-1 Steel
Total length: 7.25"
Blade Length: 3.25"
Blade Thickness: .190
Blade Steel: Carpenter Micro Melt PD-1 Steel
Handle: Gunner Grip Black G-10 handle
Sheath: Kydex Sheath with Tek-Lok belt clip attachment
Weight: 5.9 oz. (Knife alone...not including the Kydex sheath)
Purchased new just a couple weeks ago (bought two, one for me, one for my son) my son would rather have cash for another purchase. This black Strider GG DB Tanto is new, perfect and features the super tough PD-1 steel
About Carpenter PD-1 Steel:
It all started years ago with VascoWear manufactured by Teledyne Vasco which was an incredibly tough alloy. Crucible Steel
then later came out with their version called Cru Wear (slightly different formula). With the advent of the powdered metal
process, Crucible then applied this superior process and further tweaking the mix to create CPM 3V (which we all know and love).
Fast forward to now and Carpenter Steel has gone back to the original VascoWear formula and updated it and applied their
modern Micro-Melt powder metal process to it to create PD-1. Duane says PD-1 is supposed to be very comparable to the CPM 3V
with the difference being the carbides. It is supposedly the same toughness and maybe a BIT better in wear resistance than 3V. Again,
not a stainless, so corrosion resistance is also on par with 3V.

Just looking to get back what I paid after fees and shipping on a knife that sold out quickly in the PD-1. I removed the Tek-Lok "from mine" (this one has never been carried nor used) and now the DB carries perfectly (in its sheath) in the front pocket of my jeans. Makes for one Hell of a stout and usable EDC.
I have a several other knives for sale as well:
