recently traded for a benchmade sryker prototype - posted about it last wed or thu - got the knife and have had time to really look at it - the box is marked prototype, 910SCG stryker chisel ground, the knife does have carbon fiber handles, chisel ground blade, right handed, marked prototype october '98 on 1 side of the blade, stamped elishewitz on the other side - other than the carbon fiber handles which appear to be thinner than the regular stryker, it appears alot like a regular stryker - it has a ball bearing detent on the liner lock, i guess to secure the blade, dont know if the regular stryker has that or not - but it makes the knife kinda stiff to close, blade is combo regular and serrated -the knife is 100% LNIB, i do not think it has ever even been sharpened - really i dont think its even been handled much-100%for sure- its not REALLY that sharp- i'm sure a unique knife.....
now the problem - i have a modest collection of knives most of which i carry on a semi regular basis- so i dont have to carry the stryker(just for light use) - but i would like to - does that make sense?? well anyway how do ya'll vote, carry it (i really take care of my stuff, not like there would be a lot of visible wear) or stick it back in the box???? right now have been carrying a sebenza large and a spydie matriarch so i'll be ok with out it lol, if thats the way the ball bounces. i dont know, started to sharpen tonite and thought - wow 3 years old, maybe you should leave it alone??? just not sure.....
thanks for the info buds
