Opinion on the Benchmade Nitrous Stryker

[Nathan Ihrke]

I've had my eye on a Bemnchmade mini nitrous stryker for awhile and was wondering what people's opinion of the knife were

I've got the small tanto and the two large ones. I really like the small one for EDC and carry it often. After getting the tanto, I almost wish I had gotten the spear point. I think it looks really cool in the small version and may be better suited to cutting boxes and EDC stuff.

All of my knives open fast and hard, almost like automatics. The lock-up on all three is excellent. The Nitrous mechanizm is one of the best assists around you can't go wrong with it.:thumbup:

Light, fast and strong for being so light. I have the large spear point. There is a trick to opening them though. On mine, it you don't get your thumb in the right spot and push more forward and slightly up it's kind of hard to open. When you get it right it works easily though. Some people have complained about how hard the CRKT Hissatsu Folder is to open but I have that knife too and I think it opens easier than my Stryker. It's one of those knives that if you flick it open too many times in a short period (habit for me ) your thumb will get sore . . .

It's a great EDC for general use and I got mine for under $80

I have both large and small 913 and 907 drop point models and like how they look and operate. Takes awhile to master the point where the blade releases, what I did to help was replace the slippery studs with the older textured ones which makes a big difference. Cheap mod, but works...!

The D2 blades keep a great edge right out of the box and after a few hundred openings are very smooth.
