Strider Knive Model: Tiger

Cliff Stamp said:
Ask Mick for it on USN, that would be the place for questions about the designer as well since Mick rarely posts on Bladeforums.

Mick posted about it in the Strider forum here. It's still there if you search for it.

Why should we not want anything to do with the guy who designed the tiger? is he annoying, smelly, or vulgar? Or is he a deranged psychopath that is heavily medicated?

Maybe this is where the Striderites get their habit of speaking in mysterious hints and innuendos instead of actually saying something.

I have been using Strider knives on and off for a few years now, and have no clue what the hell is going on with this blade. I am a member of the Strider forums too. Not USN the other one and have never seen any strange cryptic words about this knife. I just think it was one of those things that someone who Mick knew wanted, for whatever, and it kinda looks cool. Now all the little ninjanerds who think that they are "IN" have a friggin' clue. Maybe I am the moron here. Either way I still think it is a cool knife, but with out much purpose.
 
I like the way it looks. At the same time I have no idea what I would use it for other than to cut stuff. Once I got over the coolness/neat factor I would probably go back to using my boring old Fallkniven F1.

Regardless, Strider makes a nice knife. One day, if I find one that I really like, I might get one.
 
Hey, I would love to own one too. Just buy one and don't worry about this nonsense. They are jealous because they can not afford one.
 
personnely, I am buying one to slice apples. So you know what?? get pissed guys!! I am spending $750 on a knife that slices apples. It's my knife, I bought it with my money from my job from my savings account etc...
Get pissed, no really get pissed :o)
 
I think the tiger was made for a movie called "the Vault" not 100% sure though.


Edit, my bad, the Szabo was made for "the vault" the tiger was a modified version of a custom that was used in a video game. essentially what Rat said.

I could afford one, but it is a novelty item, and I have no use for it, since I don't hang out wearing urban camo BDU's at the mall.
 
Unless folks start dealing with respect, this thread will be moved where insults are more appropriate.

Make you point and debate without the name calling.
 
Is a Strider Tiger really necessary to clean a bilge? It's my understanding that today's Navy is mostly running recently constructed vessels. There should be nothing nightmarish in the bowels of those ships yet.

I did my entire hitch after boot with a Buck 110. We used them because in the traditional knife/spike sheaths we constructed for them, the brass pommel of th Buck can be polished up to look like something that is a uniform standard. The brass didn't want us carrying weapons, only tools as the ship and its small arms are the weapons and no one can recall the last boarding action that required the crew to rally with whatever fell to hand.

Maybe now that the Navy is going with camo utilities, more tactical looking blades will come into vogue. I doubt it, especially in the fleet.

On most ships, only deck apes and Boatswain's Mates are authorized to carry locking knives of any size everywhere they go that is not otherwise a restricted space. It's mostly small pocket knives and multitools for anyone else besides Fleet Marines and maybe not even them depending on the CO.

Carrying/wearing/owning a fixed bladed knife that all but declares, "I'm a whackadoo!" aboard ship? That thing wouldn't make it past the quarterdeck watch.
 
You can't tell me you're making James Bond up to date when he's still wearing a tuxedo to the casino. Have you been to Laughlin, Nevada? You're lucky if the player sitting next to you puts in his teeth! You know how you can tell a high roller? His sweatpants are clean! There's a name for people who wear tuxedos in casinos: magicians.

Sorry, Boats,

Rating has it's privileges. I kept a Gerber Guardian II onboard. Showed it to the XO once, as well, he just called me nuts.

Best Regards,

Can anyone point me to a picture of this imfamous knife? The link at the beginning of the thread is broken, and Strider doesn't list the knife. Thanks.
 
Pretty sure this is the original, Szabo UUK

This is completely incorrect. The Tiger is designed in fact to avoid making that cut, which makes a lot of noise and results in a slow slow struggling demise. It's amazing how many so-called knife people know so little about their combat use, yet they like to go on as though they do. No wonder so few actual operators participate in these discussions!

This is some funy stuff. These operators you speak of wouldnt hapen to be Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell would it? Beacuase if you knew any special forces, seals or ex UDT ect... they would all laugh at your assumption that any "operator" carries a knife for silent dispatch. Killing your way into an enemy stronghold one gaurd at a time exists in two whole places. Video games and Tom Clancey novels. Real operators aernt on here so much because the amazimg men and women of our armed forces are busy using knives as tools and often cary a gerber and a multitool and leave the mallninja stuff to the 182nd chairborne rangers.
edit srry for bumping the old post lol.
 
LoL Rat, I must confess, I dont read Tom Clancey. He authored the story behind splinter cell though, a game in wich you stealth through each level silently dispatching enemies in epic mall ninja form (great game). I assumed he had novels in this genre, but as we all know assupmtions can be dangerous.
