Interesting thread on Strider SnG vs Sebenza

"Am I correct in saying that the Sebenza bushing is the small metalic 'ring/bus' between the two bronze washers in the picture?"

Yes.

"On my Seb the one on the lock side is smaller then the other one. ??"

If I remember correctly, the answer is yes. It seems like a few frame lock knives use 2 different sizes of washers, the smaller one being on the lock side.

BTW, I didn't take either of those pictures. I just save everything I see that has to do with good knives.
 
Lenny,

Thanks for the overview.

I really appreciate hearing your side of the story.

Lynn,

Hey, that's my stripped SnG picture! I think I got my first cite! :D

This is a little odd, it appears that 2 different people mentioned in this thread are saying that their SnG had minor blade play, the thing is, when my Strider dealer had gotten their batch of SnG's in, i was fortunate to be able to drive over there and examine them, and yes, i admit, i actually checked every single one for blade play, and lock engagement, im a little bit of a lunatic i agree, but i wanted to be sure i got absolutely perfect "specimens". While its true that the position of the lock on the tang varied a little knife to knife, and definitely some locks were stiffer (harder) to disengage than others, not a single knife, out of about 40 that i examined, had the slightest blade play, to the contrary, the blade was literally rock solid.

In any case, i think based on my not insignificant experience, (examining 40 SnG's i think is a fairly reasonable sample size), blade play on an SnG is definitely not the norm and if yours has any, send it back! Of course, i have also never seen a Sebenza with play either, and its just one of the reasons i think the Sebenza is such a remarkable knife. Its so incredibly consistant knife to knife.
