Questions for Brous Strife Owners..

[Ares1307]

I have never owned a Brous knife and have some questions about the Strife. I really like the knife, but I want to know more about before I make any decisions. I've been looking for both video and written reviews, but haven't found any that talk about actually USING the knife.

I really like the Brous Blades/Turpin Strife, but the handles are much thicker than I'm used to. I've only had one knife that actually felt chunky in the pocket, and that was a ZT 0200. Does anybody have a comparison photo of a ZT 0200 and Brous Strife side by side?

I have been looking for reviews on the Strife but haven't found any that show it in use or talk about how it being good for hard use. I've always looked at knives of this caliber as safe queens, but if I buy one I want to use it as an EDC. How tough is this knife compared to Zero Tolerance or other hard use folders? I don't intend to abuse it or put it through hard use, but I'd like to know if it is as tough as my 'go to' brand.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback, and thank you for your time!

Anybody?

Jason asks for way too much $$ for the quality he is turning out. I would look elsewhere, and this is from experience.

Thank you very much for the advice. IF I do end up buying a Strife it will be a used one, I could not justify spending the kind of money a new one costs at the moment. I do have my heart set on the blade shape, but have also been considering a custom tanto with my own input for the design, which would be thinner and more comfortable in the pocket. The custom would only be a little more than a used Strife, so its very tempting, but having a custom folder made for me is something I've never had done and something that honestly makes me nervous. When buying a production or semi-custom knife you know exactly what you're buying and pretty much what to expect. But a custom made one off come with some unknowns.

Anyway. Thanks again.
