My new to me Strider PT.
Awesome little knife, some up/down play from the lockbar not fully engaging. If only I could take it apart, maybe I could fix it. I will overlook it (for now) because I really like everything else about this knife. Fits very will in my hand with the choil, unlike the SNG, which I didn't like.

And my Southard in case I need more blade.

Today I threw Nathan the Machinist's Osage Skinner in my back pocket for some light yard work before the rain, cutting string to tie up the the plants, some light pruning and if I come across something to skin, I'll skin it. ;)

I won this from Nathan in '09 and it's seen a lot of use, these pics are from when it was new the blade is still perfect, the death on the other hand shows all the use.

The blade is hollow ground D2 tool steel Paul Bos HT to HRC 62 and sharpened IIRC to somewhere between 15 and 20 degrees, with a set of Osage orange scales naturally colored, to the handmade traditional sheath, this baby's a winner.

Here's a tutorial on how the knife was made very well done and an interesting thread. click me for knife tutoral

Anyway I highly recommend Nathan's knives for anyone who needs a tough sharp well made knife/tool.

In the mean time here's some pics:

Erik; I'm thinking about getting one of these for a work EDC (office stuff). Thoughts?

Do it my friend, for office EDC it is about as perfect as it gets. Super light weight, super smooth axis-lock action, great blade shape. Especially if you get a Contego deep-carry clip for it. At some point I may rit-dye the scales black. Still not sure about the greyish/blue/black combo...

Yea, I don't really like the black/gray myself. Looks good but basic black would work better for me. I'm considering the FRN model.
