Nicer than most other productions as well.
Am I delusional or what? I've owned like, 6-8 Hinderers, always expecting the next one to be "the one that isn't crappy", alas, 'tis not the case. They have the absolute worst action. They weigh around 10lbs and they fit the hand like a brick. To be fair, I've had one XM24 that was pretty sweet. That's it though.
As for Strider, it's as if their motto is "We're going to ignore just about every advancement in technology and continue making the same knife for twenty years." No bearings, no lockbar insert, and 50/50 fit and finish. I've had freaking awesome Striders with early lock up, smooth opening, and overall pretty good quality, yet, I've had a considerable number of total duds.
These are 4-600 dollar knives, guys.
My District 9? A boss. Perfect fit and finish and lightning fast deployment. The three Kwaikens I've owned? Bosses. All of them perfect. Literally perfect. Wtf?
What's going on?
