Just in time for summer. I needed a light weight EDC for summer time. Its no secret I am a Strider fan. I have owned many over the years and all have been perfect. My new SNG CC is no exception. Fit and finish is perfect. Blade centering is perfect. I must have owned 6 Striders over the years and never received a bad one. They have always been perfect. Back to my new SNG.. I bought this knife as a hard user for summer clothing. I do not plan on hard using my new David Mosier custom flipper. I will use the Spyro but it cost too much money for the real dirty jobs....Enter the Strider SNG CC. 
I ordered the exact combination I like for a user Strider. Stone wash blade that hides the marks and scratches. I can even polish out nasty marks if I want to. Stone Wash finish is really the toughest finish you can have on a knife and wears beautifully.
I am also a fan of the CC. The Concealed Carry option is worth the extra money. It fits the hand nice and wont rip up the pocket like the GG. My SMF GG shreds pockets so if you take your knife out a lot I don't recommend the GG. The SNG CC also weighs less at only 4.0oz. :thumbup:
I love the flamed titanium frame and finding a CC in that configuration is a bit tough.
The Logos on this Strider are very sharp and clear. So clear that it gives a "Strider reflection in the stone wash finish.
Blade centering is dead nuts perfect...(industry term)
The action of the knife is smooth for a non IKBS system and about perfect for a new Strider. I believe the Stone Wash finish is a bit smoother action out of the box when new.
Lock up is perfect (early) and not sticky. Solid, with no blade play in any direction. Pocket clip tension is right on.
What else can I say about the SNG CC that hasnt been said?... IMO, its about as perfect as a light weight EDC knife can get without sacrificing strength and usability. Field dress a deer, open my kids toys, baton a notch in a log....No problem.:thumbup:
I am done buying knives for a while. In a weeks time I purchased a Custom David Mosier Spyro flipper and a new Strider SNG CC. I can pretty much do anything with these two knives.
