Strider GB-FL that was completely reworked by Josh @ REK into what I consider to be perfect.

This was a user.
I decided to retire it, however I wanted to bring it back to mint condition and add a little something.
The GB has been discontinued by Strider, and this is knife #17/100 that they made as a frame lock for I believe TNK.
Steel is CPMS30V
It's just slightly longer than an SMF, however the blade is much wider.
Think overbuilt tank....
The work that Josh did to this knife:
Reground the Tanto to a "Chisel Tip" (The grind is PERFECTION)
The blade was media blasted.
Acid etched, and then stone washed.
The lock side was re media blasted, along with the clip.
The edge is sitting at 20DPS and it has a polished pivot.
This knife has not been used or carried since I got it back from Josh.
The action is very Strider, it opens with one hand however, the detent ball hasn't even left a mark on the new finish, so it needs some working in. This will never be a Strider that feels like it's on bearings....
Lock up is around 40% and has been forever.
Zero play in any direction.
Centering is slightly to the lock side, but a non-issue.
This is an exceptional Strider that was refinished by a very talented craftsmen.
If the pics aren't enough, I would be more then happy to make a video of the knife as long as you have an isomething!!
I am asking $375.00 CDN (that includes PP fee's and shipping with tracking)
NOTE: This sale is open only to Canadian residents, we are suffering enough with the exchange rate. If you are an American and would like to purchase this knife, the price will be $375USD)
* I reserve the right to sell to who ever I wish, for whatever reason I wish *
Any questions, please contact me...
Thank you.
