Strider nightmare withdrew

[thewaronaol]

This is a pretty outstanding knife. I’ve had it in my collection for sometime. I will be posting a portion of my collection for sale individually and this is the first one up. cash/check/money order or Zelle , price includes insurance and priority usps, asking 2100$

Am very new and looking forward to this community

Hate to break it to you, but that looks very much to be a fake from China...

 

[thewaronaol]

Can you please advise on why this is the thought?

Because if you collected real Strider customs you would know...

Well, that doesn’t tell me much. Thank you.

I'm no Strider expert but that doesn't look like any nightmare grind I've ever seen on a Strider, and I don't believe I've ever seen a nightmare grind with markings on it at all, let alone the strange font this one has. Studs/blade stops are all wrong. Bevels are terrible. Doesn't appear to be anything right about this to my eye.

I’ve owned many striders myself. I gotta agree with these fellas here. Sorry Bro!

 

[Locutus D'Borg]

Your title is apt, methinks.

 

[HOKIE_FAN]

I agree. Also, the printed Bos heat treat on the blade. Everything looks off to me as well. I sincerely hope you didn't purchase that at custom price thinking it was real.

Pivot doesn’t look right at all. Either way thanks for joining 10 min ago and trying to sell us this

 

[Peakbagger46]

I’ll offer you $10 G&S

It's fake 100%. The pivot, screws, stamp, etc.

 

[Mick Boardman]

That’s what I like about Bladeforums, nothing gets past these guys.

And asking for forms of payment that can't be protected.

Oh man! I love the knowledge on this forum. I'm definitely not in the running for this knife but I sure do appreciate folks that can tell the real deal. Can't judge the seller on their intent - maybe they thought it was real, who knows. But just knowing you folks call these things out is awesome. I'm new to this forum and knives in general. I've purchased a few already - always wondering if I'm getting the real thing. This instills some confidence. I watch another forum as well and they insist on protected payments. I wouldn't mind paying the extra fee for a little peace of mind.

100% counterfeit / fake.

 

[thewaronaol]

I appreciate everybody’s response. That’s why these types of forems are good for specific things. It is not my intent to defraud anybody. I have plenty of other knives coming. I look forward to the opinions even a couple that need to be identified. Yes I am brand new on this forum and I appreciate the feedback.

May I humbly make a couple of suggestions @thewaronaol
1. Revise this listing and put "Withdrawn" in the title, and
2. Since you are new the recommended payment method would be Paypal G&S as suggested by the Mods in the Exchange Rules - "Paypal "friends & family" is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED." And certainly no cash/check/mo or Zelle.

Totally fake as many of you have already said…. The knife is a 3 screw (3 screws inline), like and SMF but it’s the size of and SNG if you look at the proportions. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Everything about it is wrong. Worst part is, that knife ACTUALLY CAME WITH A STRIDER BOX. All the Chinese fakes do.
