Fake or Real Strider?

[dededede]

Hi. I have not seen a Strider before. Found this one in basement of old house, it felt different to the touch. Went online to research and here I am. What do you all think?
I was not able to attached images to this website. links below are knife images.

Thanks

It’s only got 1 1/2 choils. I’d be suspicious.

The BOS heat treat mark makes me think its Buck Strider collaboration.

 

[kobold]

I am no expert, just comparing with image search results, but it might be real.

It is real.

It is real.

You mean its not a fake. Nothing about Strider is real...

Ok, but as far as I know the Strider company did their own heat treatment, not BOS.

The BOS stamp is for heat treat.

Just one more piece of information.

Thanks.

My Chinese scale might be of a bit

It should be S30V blade steel, but it won’t be marked due to the BOS (Paul Bos) stamp.

 

[Oklahoma Outlaw]

It’s 100% fake according to Strider Hardcore.

 

[Chuck_Nunface]

I'd say counterfeit. The blade grinds, finish, stamp technique and font don't match up with striders I'm aware of. Bos ht is on some old gn 1 and 2s, but the features don't match up with the years that would have the Bos stamp.

How does one find a Strider in the “basement of an old house”? These aren’t exactly the sort of things you find on “Antiques Roadshow”.

 

[The Aflac Duck]

It is real.

So which one is it?

Schrodinger's authenticity.

I don't know knifes at all. But the feel of this one made me look more into it. looks like it might be very good fake or very old Strider. Correct? I am confused here...

 

[King of the Cheese]

Does anyone here have Mickey Burglar’s cell #? We can give him a ring and get an answer right from the man himself.

 

[PirateSeulb]

Doesn't that apply to all striders are they not all both real and fake?

Put it back where you found it and walk away.
