help...need suggestions on a first strider...

Give us some idea of what you are going to use the knives for then maybe you'll get some feedback.

S.
 
fixed blade;tanto format ok;
no tigerstuff;no sawback;
no serrarions cordwrap;
general defense combat type use.

I think ive settled on the ak though;
any idea who sells them besides the website???
 
My first was a MFS. Great small fixed blade that I carry hiking/biking.


Edit:
Didn't see that you didn't want cordwrap....
 
If you want utility and defence- MH
If H2H only consideration- GS or BG are good for speed.The WB and BT tanto mods are probably the most fielded, Strider Guys would have better stats on this account.
 
I picked up an S-2001. The agressive forward angle and the increased mass of the Tanto tip is awesome. I admit - I'll occassionally pull the knife from the sheath and handle it in front of a mirror so I can gain a more detached perspective of the look. The weighty yet non-bulky feel of the handle and blade makes it quick for having an OAL of almost 13 inches!

Now I gotta decide on my next Strider. Good luck on your first...

:D

Just curious, do you say "you looking at me?" repeatedly while doing this? Just asking :D

Seriously though, that is a nice blade...how do you think the tip compares to the BD??

"Who are you looking at?", "What do you mean by that?"....

:rolleyes: ;) :D


I haven't named my Strider yet and I don't talk to it either. I do like to look at the blade though and now when I see other fixed blades without the solid core of continuous steel running from the tip to the end of the handle I know I would not take them anywhere near an objective area.

The S-2001 is not like the BD.
 
hondo, it was a reference to the movie Taxi Driver (Robert DeNiro) :)

RL,

I know...

Razor B is a Strider virgin who will be waiting for his order with anticipation and when he gets it will continue to take it out several times a night till he gets used to it being in the house.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Hey Hondo. You reading my mail? Was playing with my new MFS when I read your post. EC (Strider Cherry)
