New Strider break in !

[Buffalohump]

Emersons are the same when they're new - rough as a warthog's balls. Carry and use em and they'll be smooth as cream within 6 months to a year.

Congrats on your new strider. Buy what you want and do what you like dude, there are lots of "haters" out on the internet, dont worry about them.
We live in a free country where we can buy what we want, do what makes you happy, and ON BLADEFORUMS I'm quite sure most of us fellow KNIFE LOVERS would appreciate 3 new strider knives, and not considder you
to be trying to be something you are not, or suggest that you were a youtube warrior or should have spent your money on a rifle. Which for all we know you could have had 3 of those rifles already.

Ok good, I'm not the only person that that post rubbed the wrong way.

I would bet that there are probably 10 times as many "youtube" warriors as Soldiers that own Striders.

The AR 15 comment comes way out of left field. Why would you assume that the original poster has any interest in that

As for the part I bolded, that's just rude and ignorant considering you probably know nothing about the thread starter.

Yeah I agree that was uncalled for. The guy just wants to break in his strider and this other guy starts in as if the post said, "hey guess what I got a strider now I'm a navy seal"

My SnG is still stiff after two years. Striders aren't pocket jewelry, they are hard use tools, so hard use is what the ergonomics are geared to.

Based on their price, they're not geared to GIs for sure.

Soldiers on patrol, in the field, and performing work use them.

I am sure they highly appreciate stiff action and having to struggle with the blade. Especially when they're in a hurry, or injured or simply tired...
I never understood how simple things get upside down when it comes to any knife maker fans. With Striders normal ergonomics are bad, smooth action is no good... So, what soldiers in US army grow different kind of hands?

Youtube warriors aren't the selected market.

Rrright... Can't we all get along? At least without looking down on non Strider guys?
