No, and I won't. I've thought about it a lot, and I have lots of folders, some very very good ones too. But there IS no Busse equivalent-folder, and there can't be. And I won't buy any folders that are priced like Busse's but (unlike Busse) are a lot of hype, as well as good quality.
So not to rag on Strider, I've handled a few and like them a lot. They are just insanely overpriced IMO. If you like their design and exclusivity, more power to you.
 
sure i got one. will post pics later when im home, got the 15th anniversery AR.
 
I wouldn't have one if you gave it to me!







BTW- Rolf, if you ever give away another knife I'll send you the $20 to ship me the strider:p
 
I am not a fan of the owners but I do have a SNG CC and it is a great folder.
 
I've got an SNG lying about somewhere; don't rely like how it rides in my pocket - can't get my hand in past the wide butt.
 
Kenny--- I got you covered! ;)
Thanks for all the replies. I don't think we're done yet.
 
nice enough knives, but douche-y owners - so I don't support them anymore.

I do have an older WP-4 fixed blade of theirs though, .25 of Bos-treated S30V.

I respect your opinion and i'd like to respectively disagree. IMHO, they are NOT overpriced. I've had many, (currently a USN, SnG) and also have had many Busse's, ( Currently a BATAC LE) and they are extremely well built, well thought out tools. Just like Busse. They are both designed for specific tasks and perform above and beyond those tasks with ease. Strider has a killer warranty like Busse and my dealings with Mick & Duane and Josh have been nothing short of awesome. From a fixed blade point of view I like Busse and Strider for different reasons. I'll never take my knife to the point that some other guys here will. That being said I like the blade profiles on Striders a bit better and the handles on Busse's allot better. Not a cord wrapped fan. I wish Busse would actually come out with a folder instead of joking around about it for so long. I bought my first busse in 2000 and they were hinting around it about it then. :grumpy: C'mon. From a folder POV, you'd be hard pressed to find a more robust, balls out tough folder than the offerings from Strider.

Good post, Vin.
If you like a knife and can afford it, it's not overpriced. :D
