Hi!
Just a quick question regarding if the photos that the knife is an authentic Strider knife. I exhausted my internet searches and could not find anything similar.

Strider logo is one they use, other logo - can't recall the name of the company at the moment - is also a legit logo, but Strider isn't known for blued finish on their blades, the grind seems plain for them, and the gunner grips look a little fuzzy to me. First time I recall seeing a fuller as well. I'm a bit leery of the sheath as well. It's not unusual for Strider to do collaborations, but that doesn't look like one I've seen. A hardcore Strider guy or girl could make the call pretty easily; as for me, I don't have a good feeling on that one.
 
The other logo is TAD (Triple Aught Design) Gear.

Thank you guys for your fast response. I really appreciate it. Question has been answered.
 
Thanks, guys. I kept on searching but now with the TAD information that Chip provided. I found many examples of the TAD insignia and Strider that were similar enough for me to believe it is a fake. The seller could not verify that it is authentic either. I walking away from it. It's on ebay if anyone is interested.

Saying where it is being sold is deal spotting and against the forum rules. Unless the dealer is a paid forum supporter.
 
My apologies for my statement that broke the rules. I didn't even consider it. Won't happen again.
