I just handled a Spyderco Chinook at the nearby Brick and Morter and was very impressed with its strength. I would however, desire a blade style like the Strider AR with the Spydercos lock back. Anybody seen what I'm looking for?
Really like the AG Russel Strikeforce, one of these days I have to step up to the plate and order one. I Like lockbacks and this is a heck of a nice one.
Nugget, spend the dough and get a Strider AR if you can find one, best hardcore/heavy duty folder out there bar none. I have 7 Striders as of now with more to come. They are not cheap but worth the price of admission.
Thanks for the replys,
The problem with the Strider is that its a linerlock (I Think?)
and I much prefer a lockback.
The StrikeForce looks great. Any idea how thick the blade is.
The Chinook impresses me with its construction, weight, steel and the fact its a lockback.
I still fail to see the "problem" with the Striders liner lock. I would trust an AR over the Chinook's lock (I have nothing against the Chinook ) The Striders are in a class of their own. IMO, no other knife is even close to being as tough.
