Nice knife farid. :)

Let's talk Striders. Did you get used to the size and keep the Strider mystro or have you sold it off? :confused:
 
I did take some pics... I sent the knife back to the dealer. It is still for sale for a ridiculously low price. PM me if your interested to know the dealers name. The knife has some history before I bought it.

That really is a "little" beauty mystro but too small for your hands, for sure. Did you consign it or just return it? How can you do that without a big re-stocking fee? What ya going to get to replace it? You already have an SMF right? Maybe a Hinderer XM-18 or XM-24. :thumbup:

The SNG was too small and I was use to the SMF size. I also didnt care for the 3/4 chisel grind. I much prefer the full flat grind. I just returned the knife. The dealer had a good return policy. I would love to post how cheap you could buy the DD custom for but I dont want to break any forum rules.:eek:
I sold my SMF CC to fund the DD custom. I came full circle.
I bought a SMF GG DigiCam and love it....

Man that has a nice smooth action. I've never owned one but heard it took a lot to break in the action. That looked easy. :thumbup:

Fixed 'em for you.

Thats how the SMF DGG came. No break-in required. Blade was perfectly centered, ultra solid lock-up. I will say the SMF DGG digicam has the polished blade stops like the DDC. It felt every bit as custom as the DDC.

No problem, let me know if you got the email. Post back and confirm that it is ridiculously cheap if you think so. I dont think most would believe it.

My pics are much more detailed than theirs of the knife.
 
Got the email and HOLY CRAP! I think i just found my first custom purchase of 2011!
He was not joking. Ridiculously cheap. Thanks again mystro.
 
Thanks, I didnt want anyone thinking I was blowing smoke. My forum integrity is important to me. .....(Is your credit card smoking yet?):D You could flip it on the forum and make money if you didnt keep it. I almost did that but I had other Christmas gifts to buy at the time and had a new Strider SMF DGG to buy so I didnt.

It's still there. They're talking bad about you mystro - blade abuser!! :mad: :D

This is a return from a customer. The knife has been used and shows some discoloration and a few marks on the blade. The photos are of the actual used knife to show the wear on the blade. The rest of the knife is in great condition. The knife has been discounted from the original $750 price
 
They are not talking about me.... They are talking about the guy before me. That's what makes it a super deal and why I was gonna EDC it.
