I was just wondering how the Buck Strider models compared to the Strider folding knives? Obviously, the quality of the materials used are different and so is the locking mechanism, but in terms of feel and useability, how are they? For 8x less money, doesn't seem too bad of a deal.

The only one I have is the 881. That's the mini version of the first Buck/Strider collab (looks sorta like a small AR?). I don't compare it to a Strider, I just think of it as a high-end Buck. It's really quite a solid knife. The liners are thick so the liner lock has plenty of meat to it, the ATS34 blade is nicely ground (although very thick), centered when closed and solid when open. The F&F was very good for a utility type knife.
I really like the one I have. They're disco'd now, but when I find an 880 FS or FT that's in good shape, I'll try to pick it up so I have a set of them.
I've also had several Striders. They were also nice knives, but I didn't keep any of them.
