Microtech Scarab or Strider SMF DGG

Which one are you taking?

Taking where, to the trash?

What others do you suggest?

Scarab all the way, for me.

Scarab is awesome, no question! I am not a fan of anything Strider though because they are goofy looking. I have a Scarab and plan on another sometime in the near future.

Not exactly similar knives
So it is going to come down to personal likes and uses
Neither really fit for me, but if I had to choose-Scarab, since I have never had one
The SMF would be a bit heavy for my taste, and the Scarab not overly practical(for me), though it might be fun.
So CRK Sebenza is my go to nice practical kmife or maybe a front flipper.

The strider. Rare configuration to come by. Not much of a choice.

Strider, cuz I’ve never had one. The Scarab is cool, but OTFs aren’t really my thing.

If you force me to choose, I'll take the Strider, provided we're going for an EDC type role.

Wouldn't want either of those two though, don't like frame locks, don't like OTFs, and both are just silly looking in m opinion.

What is your idea behind this thread?

Neither, though I own both Striders and Microtechs. Maybe an auto-Strider?

 

[jbmonkey]

the microtech hands down. striders make no sense to me. cutting length is weirdly short and handle is weirdly and awkwardly big. horrible design. so many better knives for same money or less.

^^this!

OTF's are quite useful and convenient depending on what you're cutting and if you get a good blade shape - like the Scarab has.
