How tough is the Strider AR, really.

[mikemck]

Has anyone managed to damage a Strider AR yet? Is it really as tough as everyone makes it out to be?

The reason I ask is that when the talk turns to really tough folders, the AR always comes up, but nobody talks about having actually used/abuse one.

Yes it is. It is probably the toughest folder out there, and better than many fixed blades. I have done some abuse testing with mine. It has gone through a Cadillac roof, UH-1 helicopter plexiglas and fuselage, and it prys well, too. I carry one daily as my primary extraction tool from the aircraft I fly in (although I use the Tanto version).

Like the man was told when he asked how much horsepower was under the hood in his Rolls.......more than enough!!
