saw a buck/strider for the first time

[tyuio]

Wow, saw a buck strider for the first time in a local army surplus sporting goods store. I had no idea it was such a large folder. I'm used to sak's and maybe a benchmade CQC7 at the most. This post contains nothing but gosh golly B.S. but i still had to make it. That thing was a monster, i can't imagine trying to carry that in my pocket.

NICE job on that satin. The new "finish" on mine is .. stained .. discolored .. tarnished .. very USED .. But it is still sharp and smooth as when I got it -- secondhand.

I love my Buck Strider...after I had it for about a week I sold my AR and now I have just as awsome a blade and lotsa money!

When I got my Sb-1 (I love my fiancee!) I was impressed with its size as well. But I didn't think it was a monster, but rather it was full sized. Grab an SAK and a Buck Strider and you'll see what I mean. The Buck Strider has a handle meant for human hands The width and thickness of the handle makes if very secure. The Buck/Strider is a real "tool" knife if you ask me. Features like a full sized handle mean you can use the knife hard and all day long. I would like to get the spear point version now too.

By the way (maybe Nonbox will be most interested in this), my folder has been modified a bit as well! My fiancee paid for the lion's share of this knfie which I got on the for sale forums here (b-day present). I got it from Richard Derespina. He mirror polished the point, satin finished the blade AND jeweled the liners Me likes, me likes very much.
