Does anyone have both a Crusader Forge folder and a Strider SnG or SMF? They are roughly the same size and use the same blade steel. Crusader Forge models are fully Ti, while Striders are usually half Ti and half G10. Both have thick blades and oversized pivots and beefy Ti frame locks.
For super hard-use folders, these seem to be the knives to compare, although Crusader are more custom and Strider are more production oriented, at least for the basic models.
I have a Crusader Forge Oberland fixed blade, and the S30V steel seems much better than other S30V blades I have -- tougher and harder.
I'd like to expand my small collection with a really good example of a hard-use folder, especially if it's a good cutter, but I can afford only one, and just barely at that.
