My thoughts on the Strider SnG, and SnG picture bomb thread :D

[So-Lo]

I'm a straight shooter, and no "fanboy" for sure..... all though over all I am a "fan" of the SnG.

So you may have or are thinking about getting a Strider SnG, I hope I can answer some of your questions. I am in NO way affiliated with Strider knives and can ensure you this is only MY experiences with my "on and off" three year relationship with a SnG in some form or another.


OK lets address... sticky lock up, are they over priced, what is the "new" warranty, do they have "bad" fit and finish, is the blade too thick to cut with, why studs and a hole, does the grip feel funny..... ect...


Set aside about 20mins, grab your favorite beverage and if you care hear me blab about a DGG SnG (Double Gunner Grip SnG) click the youtube links

Why I like the extra leverage the long handle gives you. When pulling through thick hard to cut stuff, the heel of your hand helps a ton. Smaller knives do not give you this in pull cuts. See how the very end of the SNG is at the end of my hand. This makes for a lot of power at the blade, being that its a smaller cutting edge backed up with a longer handle.

Sng under a Mili

Again, Sng on top a Mili....just showing they are about the same width in your pocket. So if a Mili, Endura is not to wide a SNG should be good to go.

DGG and CC SNGs are a tad thicker than a Delica BUT pack one hell of a tough blade... And the full flat grind lets them cut great also.

The RCC is under the SNG, just to show size of both these guys

No one approaches The Master when it comes to photography, building a mirror edge or collecting cool toys. Well done as usual.

The tanto SnG probably has the ugliest blade shape out there right now, but I still love it:thumbup: And there wasn't a pic of a Seb with a less than perfectly centered blade, was there?
Great pics, BTW:thumbup:
