Well as the title goes "I've gone and done it"!!! I ordered my first Strider today. I've had other (what I call expensive) production knives but this is my first Strider. I haven't even held one in person, wtf!! I ordered an SMF with the OD green handle. Can't wait till it comes in around the middle of the week!!! Early birthday present to myself I guess.

Good for you. Excellent knife, although it can be a little too big for comfort, depending on your hand size.

Congrats, i hear they are really nice knives.
Well I have a ZT0302 at the moment and to be quiet honest the handle feels a bit cramped.
With this famous statement I contest "Houston, we have a problem"!! It seems to be from what I've read at another knife forum that the Strider that I just purchased may be a fake! If I post up a picture from the auction could anyone help me determine this? I'd like to know before it gets here as I think I'll be covered under the Buyers Protection plan through eBay if it's not. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Contact the maker, if its a fake they will know and would be happy to know they are out there so they can try stop them.
Good idea, I'll shoot Strider an email and see if I can get any kind of response.
Well here we go; it is a fake for sure. The seller just emailed me and stated that it's a customized Strider that he had done in his shop and doesn't think that he has done anything wrong. I tried to explain that there is a difference in a customized Strider and a Strider Custom. Now is where I come to the decision of what I need to do!

I've owned and viewed several Striders and I have never seen that configuration. BUT, Strider makes alot of customs in various configurations. The things that look suspect are:
1. The Strider Stamp
2. The Hinderer LockStop
3. The Blade Finish
BUT, as I said the guys at Strider are always doing new designs, so I would not rule it out. For the money you are spending I would for sure get Strider's approval. Lets just hope they can tell you from looking at the pic and not have to inspect it physically.

From what I gathered with his email was it started out as a new Strider SMF and he customized it in his shop. I really hate the whole situation because I like the knife. The killer for me is the Strider warranty or lack of. Since this has been modified its warranty is VOID. I'm not trying to beat the guy up or anything but it's just not what I thought I was buying.

How much did you pay for it?
