Gun show Strider

And silence includes not asking questions which shouldn't be asked.

The OP didn't offer what he paid. So he's asked the question in venue open to the entire world which may make him feel as if he has been put on the spot. It's just plain rude to do that to anyone. Isn't this stuff taught anymore?

Good lord man, take your better than thou crap somewhere else.

Blade Forums allows paying members to ask valuation questions. This is clear, yes?

Well... the knife is cool anyway!

 

[TheEdge01]

Why would you ask that? OP didn't offer the info, and it's just flat out rude to ask.

I can’t speak for the op, but they mentioned getting a good deal, this alone almost invites the “What did you pay?” question. Of course this is just my opinion.

The MT was always kind of a grail knife to me, well used to be back then. Nice find.

And I don't get the fuss over asking what somebody paid. The only rude thing would be if he asked what he makes a year after taxes? I mean...come on.

I remember when threads wouldn’t derail until much later.

Anyway, I like the way the carved appearance of the handle interacts with the stripes on the blade.

Internet Etiquette... Makes sense.

To the OP, nice score and would've grabbed it myself.

You've been here less than a month, how far back can you remember?

Depends.. Is this before they were banned?

Joking

Now that would be a slip up that gets someone rebanned... lol

I wasn't trying to be rude, just curious. Text can be difficult to decipher intent so I though I'd throw that out there.

I’m a long time lurker. I only recently got seriously into knife collecting, so patronizing the forum seemed right.

Ultimately, extraneous debates distract from the real conversation. The OP is showing a beautiful blade, and I’d rather discuss that.

Geez. Get over it already

Ah thanks for the clarification, and I do agree. Although if you've lurked long enough you'd know strider threads typically don't go well anyway.

That said, I'll bow out and detract no further..good day sirs.

 

[Peter Hartwig]

I could have guessed all day and never guessed this thread would land up discussing Etiquette and camping poo .

OP-congratulations on your find

what's the appeal of a knife like this? I owned one of these at one point and it didnt cut worth a damn because of it's overly thick blade/obtuse edge. It made a better paper weight than it did a knife.

I want to offer my apology to the op and others for throwing my 2 cents in the non thread related debate. No harm intended. Btw, nice Strider fixed blade, I emailed Mick recently asking about ordering one of his folders and didn’t get a response.

Didja try sharpening it?

 

[Charlie Mike]

Love the more vintage Strider stuff. Great score.

 

[palonej]

Used be parents taught their kids asking such questions was rude. Matters not how curious you are.

You are preaching etiquette, that’s a hoot.

Haven't figured out whether to issue a whopping load of infractions or move a lot of posts offline, and then infract them. In the meantime. The nonsense will stop.
