I am the proud new owner of a Grayman Satu!! I must say I was hesitant due to its size but now that I have it, its like why the hell didnt I get one of these bad boys sooner?!! Now it is big. Very big! In fact I dont have a folder that even comes close to it in size! But it fits in my hand like it was custom fitted for me. This knife locks up like a bank vault! At first I thought is this something that I will actually carry? And now I think, yes it is! It doesnt feel like you re carrying a brick in your pocket. Actually rides in my jeans quite nicely! Now it wont be my edc, but when I go hunting for zombies it ll def be in the pocket or vest! I cant imagine a folder of this size built better than this knife! It operates smooth as butter. Its kind of like they took one of their DUAs and pumped it full of some high quality german growth hormone and wallah! The SATU!! I am going to head out into the woods tomorrow and hack away at some stuff! I bet I can chop a good size tree down with this BEAST! I really like the beadblast G10 version that I got but im definitely gonna get a DLC CF when they re avail! I cant imagine one with that finish?!!! Heres some pics, more to follow! And i will take pics of my destruction in the woods!! If you are in need of a big badass folder built like a tank try one of these on for size!! :thumbup:

WOW!!!!! Congrats! Im normally not a huge fan of massive folders but holy $#!^ is that cool! Another plus about it is if you can't deploy it fast enough, you can chuck it at the zombies head and kill 'em anyway :D

Wow, it totally dwarfs that ZT 0551! If not for the recurve, I'd be giving some serious consideration to picking one up...
 
Sorry i still havent figured out how to post more than the 5 pics at a time! Oh blade centered perfectly!

Congratulations on your new Stau Striderco! :thumbup: That sucker is awesome and I'm glod to hear that the F&F are good too. From the pics on their site I couldn't tell it was blasted but who cares once you start wailing on tree & stuff with it.

The grind looks smoother on this model that the Dua or maybe it's just the pics?? Thanks for sharing it and have fun. That huge Lionsteel was dwarfed....hahahaha - too much! :D :D
 
No sheath but thats not a bad idea!! Like the pocket clip but perhaps a molle type sheath wouldnt be a bad idea!?! They are kinda geared towards military!
 
That's a beast for sure. I would really dig it if it had the DUA blade shape. No like the recurve. Thanks for the pics.
 
WOW...that blade looks awesome. Hopefully you can get some user pics of chopping on those trees!!! Congrats on the blade!
 
I think it might have actually been designed for performing alien autopsies?! It wud surely be capable of hacking apart an alien!! :D
 
Looks bigger than the Zt 0300. I think the Satu will be my re-enlistment present to myself. :D

Use that money and get an XM-18 if you just re-upped. You'll be very very happy with it. They just came out with the new "slicer" blade option too! :D
 
I think the Satu is more heavy duty than an XM!! But hey get both! Why not? We only live once right!!
 
Cziv Id have to disagree with you. You are entitled to your opinion though! These guys might disagree as well....

I dont post on here to look for arguments or criticism. This post was simply made to inform my fellow BF members of a BIG, BADASS FOLDER! Oh and cziv I didnt say the blade steel was tougher, but the knife in general! I own both and I cant even compare the two. Its like comparing a Ford Ranger to an F350 Super duty! I have a lot of money! :)
