NO LOWBALL OFFERS AND NO TRADES, PLEASE.
First post "I'll take it" (in this thread), followed by a PM or email to me, gets the knife. Of course, I reserve the final decision about the sale.
Price is $440.00 dropped to $420.00 PP net to me. I paid much more than this.
Thanks. This is a beautiful piece; non-stick, solid as a rock.
The knife appears to be new and unused and uncut. Factory edge. Smooth operation. No evident mars, scars, or scratches.
This is definitely COLLECTOR QUALITY, or someone who wants the finest available.
The lock is rock-solid, no blade-wiggle or lock-rock. Centered blade of S30V, a fire anodized titanium frame, oil impregnated bronze bushings, an oversized pivot screw, and a textured G10 scale with an incorporated backspacer. The National Stock Number (NSN) for the SMF knife is 1095-01-531-5015.
When DET-1 of the U.S. Marine Corps was formed and their equipment being chosen, in June of 2003, they chose Strider's SMF folding knife as their issued blade. After rigorous field testing, the unit's Commanding Officer, Colonel Robert Coates remarked that the knife was "selected by, built for, and issued to the Marine Corps SOCOM Detachment."
This latest version of this knife (generation 2 and above) includes the Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer, a mechanism designed by custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer and licensed for use by Strider.
Thanks to Wikipedia for the historical background of this great folding knife.
