Naked knives

[Sonnydaze]

Strider, Hinderer, Sebenza,

Yes, these are great knives. They all are expensive (for me), have a nice scale on one side and NAKED on the other. The first time I saw photos of these knives, I though the OP had taken off the right-hand scale so we could see the "inner" workings. Nope.
I realize another scale would add a bit of thickness, but not much. As long as a folder isn't fatter than ~0.600", it carries well for me.
Most of my favorite Benchmades and Spyderco models are around 0.450" in thickness...and they have scales on both sides.

And no, I don't own any of those real expensive ones on the top line, but would love an XM-18 some day...naked or not!

Best start with the Strider and step up slowly, or go right to the Hinderer and get your price shock over with.

Nice knives, yes, but at a certain point, I have to ask myself if the price is too high for me to do anything but keep it in the box....
