How are Strider knives such as the SA carried? Is there a special sheath for them? Any pictures of the sheath?


Thanks.

-Fred :D
 
The new SLCC can be worn as a neck knife - and very comfatable it is too...

Mr. Fred,
Our catalog has such photo's. I'll try and get them posted on the website. Thanks for the insight.

Fred:

See my late reply to Reed about shoulder harnesses. I am not a collector of unblemished display knives and, can you believe it?, I own only ONE Strider. I love the AD like my mother because it saved my life once in a very sudden attack by a small mob of bad guys. If you use the AD as a neck knife under a shirt (which I don't recommend) or high in an arm pit (which I do, if you have a good anti-perspirant), I would re-wrap it for a flatter grip. You don't want to look as if you're packing a gun or, worse yet, like a one-t*tted Anna Nicole Smith. Everyone has a favorite and the AD is the least talked-about knife on this forum. But, for concealment (and field-proved damage to the bodies of those who wish you harm), I don't think you'll find anything as good as this little knife.
 
It'd be great if you could post a picture of the sheath.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts...

Fred, you might be able to see this, it has a belt loop attached that swivels so you can put it inside the waistband and have the beltloop go over the top of your pants and down to the belt.

Kshurika,
I think I forgot to thank you, I am currently talking with a friend and we are working on converting this type of sheath into a shoulder rig.
 
Reed,
What are the specs on that knife you have pictured? Where can I get one, name, and how much? Thanks
 
Reed,
The knife in the pic doesn't really look like the DB. It looks a lot sleeker in the spine area. Perhaps it's just the lighting?
 
The DB is more-or-less the tanto version of the AD. After field-testing the curved blade on several unwilling test subjects in India, I think the curve slashes to the bone and severs connective tissue more efficiently than the straight tanto. Better blood sprays, too. I shouldn't make fun of a pants-staining incident in my past, but I'm awfully glad I had that AD around my neck. (and even MORE glad that I had the brains to leave my T-shirt untucked!).
 
What do you guys think? Someone I know is trying to decide between the DB (tanto) and SA (curved) blade. Also, I still am not quite clear. Are these neck knives, or does the buyer have a choice of other sheath setups?

thanks.

-Fred
 
The DB was originally designed to fit into the trauma plate pocket of concealble body armor. The 1/4 versions are probably a little much for neck carry (although I have). The thinner ones are okay if you dress around them a little. For T-shirts, I prefer IWB behind the right hip, drawing right to reverse grip. Many SpecOps people and point of the spear folks are mounting the smaller Striders high on their load bearing vest as a quick access blade without having to go to their big Strider on their belt. I am also aware that the Db's and similar sized blade are very popular for the military folks overseas being worn IWB under their BDU's when not fully geared up. Its good to always be armed, even if you are at a "safe" base in the Balkans or some other garden spot. Micks new design is the real hot one for neck carry in the Strider line-up.
