Strider Knives?

Wabajack said:
I never lied about who I am.

I never bashed Stider knives.

I never gave a link to CS that was somebody else who I then quoted.

My "who me" attitude deserves to be here because your assuptions are unfounded and are quite unsettling. Some support from other people would be nice... :(

Ok, and OJ didn't do it.:rolleyes:
 
I dunno, I think any kinfe, made by anyone, made any where, that cost over $100 is over priced. If some one can show me that a $300 kinfe can cut better than any knife I own I might change my mind. I'd like know how Buck feels after putting Strider's name on ther line of knives. I buy one of thier kinves any day over a Strider. They are made in the US and you can find for less than a $100. Lieing about your service record to sell knives is just dum. Wabajack, just don't post here any more. I haven't posted more than 10 times and looking at all the idiot's here this propaly will be my last post.

I love how certain people can entirely ignore documented proof when it suits them personally and then go on to make an ubsustantiated assertion and treat it as if its cold hard fact. :rolleyes:


don't mind the idiots, wabajack, and welcome to the forums.

This is The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. It's one of the few forums, along with Pirates Cove and Whine & Cheese also, that allow a less-restrained style of posting.

Don't let it discourage you from enjoying the site as a whole. The specifically knife-related forums are much friendlier. :D
 
I wonder, are we ever going to be able to get back to just answering the questions that people ask about Strider knives, without having to go into the whole Mick Strider thing? :rolleyes:

I think that Strider folders are probably priced about right, but think that the fixed blades are overpriced. However, that is a sentiment that many others disagree with, and I can't fault them for it. There are lot's of knives that I like that others would think are overpriced.

It is a sad day when someone points out the obvious and is called an idiot. I'm not ignoring anything (for OJ or for Strider). Both did it.

RJ - Would you please support your claims.

This is what Strider supporters clamor for when the claims are directed against him. However, RJ feels completely comfortable making serious allegations about YOU without a single shred of proof.

As stated before Ranger School is currently only 62 days long. That is counting in processing, out processing, travel between phases, and in/out processing at each phase. At times Ranger School has been as short as 54 days and as long as 72. Everyone seems to think that getting a tab is big shit, well great. But if spending such a short time to get a tab is cool, then spending and equally short time in a Bat is cool to. If you have not been at bat and seen the pace you cant really comment on what it’s like there can you.

Seems POWNET has an update on the whole SOCOM crap

Now Eagle Claw, which led to the creation of SOCOM, happened on 04/24/80 and SOCOM came in to being in late 88/89, I highly doubt that they went 8 years without some sort of interim command, of which 1/75 and 2/75 would have been a part of. I am going to ask around and see on that one.

How, exactly, is it "obvious" that Wabajack is affiliated with Cold Steel in any way?

I'll help RJ, I posted on page 1 that I thought he was LT because 1) low post count and posting an obvious troll question 2) join date was at the time of when the strider stuff started and 3) he used the same words as LT does on his site- For years now I have watched Strider Knives become very successful at selling knives that cost hundreds of dollars a piece, which in my mind were little more than sharpened bars of steel wrapped with 40 cents worth of Para cord...but I made no comment. http://www.coldsteel.com/strider.html

So, still looks to me like a troll (and he even denies being a troll before anyone calls him one).

Hmmm, I guess it is a bit of a coincidence that he came up with "40 cents of cord".., especially since he claims to have never seen anything about this on the Cold Steel website. You may be right.
 
Eh. We have 100 people joining a day, so in the last 6 weeks, that's 4200 people. I'm going to ask for a bit more proof before he's 100% LT. Furthermore, his other posts were in other threads for the first month he was on here.

Let's see what you can make with 2 years of on and off knifemaking experience in a 3' x 3' room with just a Grizzly Grinder. You can buy one of these grinders for $395. Why don't you pick one up instead of a Strider and see what you can do? You're probably one of these kids with daddy's money, driving daddys' BMW, pretending you're some "tough guy" because you got a Strider. :jerkit: Why don't you try making a knife, instead of buying one? Because you fall for B.S.

Strider's grinds are easy. I know what goes into knifemaking because I am a knifemaker. I know what they should charge, but somewhere along the B.S. that Mick has fed the general public, he's created that "Louis Vuitton" mentality for people to think that they're buying something more valuable than they are. They're basically buying a cord wrapped, sand blasted piece of metal. Not a lot of fit and finish has gone into the making of their knives yet they charge a premium.

The "Ferrari" of knives makers I can think of are makers such as: Bob Loveless, Bill Moran and other greats. Mick Strider ain't one of them, he isn't even in the same league. His fit and finish isn't as good, and most importantly to me: he lacks integrity and is full of B.S.

He built a reputation on lies, if he were just a regular knifemaker I wouldn't have any problem with him or his company He said he was a Ranger -but in actual fact, he wasn't. This is an unethical way to get a step up on other knifemakers and disrespects all those who are Rangers. Just a guy who likes to B.S.

You got me, just an internet tough guy. Here is a picture of me in Daddy's BMW.

Calling him LT was tongue in cheek, he certainly looks like a troll, posting a question using the same wording as on CS' website, after a bunch of stuff being posted in the last couple of days- what is it, like 6 or 7 threads on this stuff now? Anyway, I have no idea if it is LT, someone else trying to stir things up more or what.
 
Well, if he's LT, he's posting from Canada, and the opposite side of the continent to boot, from a static broadband IP address.

This is what I'm saying. When someone comes on here and starts threads which have been covered over and over again, it is obvious what they are trying to do (stir things up).

I do not like what Mr. Strider did anymore than the next guy. But the dogpiling has got to stop. I wish I never even read this thread, it is about a hour of my life I'll never get back. Although it has helped me in one way, I'll never read another thread like it (or post in this one), no matter who the object of the thread is.

....does this mean there is going to be multiple 30+ page threads about him for a change of pace?
