Hey everyone. I'm freaking out right now cause I'm worried I just spent a bunch of cash on a fake.. The seller was outstanding and had great feedback and is regularly on here. I don't question his resolution at all. I do wonder why this strider has no jimping on the blade whatsoever and I have no idea why I didn't notice this until the knife was on it's way to me.

What do you think? Please help, I've just never seen a strider without jimping on the spine.

I looked up on google and every single tanto I saw had jimping, but this definitely eased my mind.. Like I said the seller was great and I would do business with him any day, just freaked a little when I saw online all the tantos with jimping and mine didnt have it. Why do some have it and some dont?
 
I looked again and I still cant find a strider without jimping.. Tanto or spear point. Weird
 
They're out of stock but the Duane Dwyer tanto Striders came with no jimping. Hope that helps.

If you got it off a reputable dealer, I don't see any cause for alarm.

Yeah I saw a Dwyer one just now without jimping. I bought it from an individual but he had good feedback and was an excellent seller. That's why I was nervous. I'm still trying to find out what the whole story is about it
 
S110V Tantos were an exclusive from True North Knives and did NOT have jumping on the blade. I have one just like that.

Yep I found that out! Duane Dwyer designs so no jimping. Thanks so much man, and I have to say those are some damn good looking blades yourself!
