Just some thoughts on a new Strider...

Thanks for that.
I'm trying to get one and I understand all the points you made.
Question for you is,....Do you see this knife as tough enough to last a lifetime?
My attraction to Strider is looks, but mostly toughness (quality) and its warranty.
 
Hey buddy, nice video. I have also had my PT CC for about a month now after wanting one for years.

After handling it for the first week or so I too noticed some of the flaws you mentioned in your video. There aren't major things but would make the knife much better than it already is if they did not exist.

Sadly, as much as I wanted to avoid it, the PT did develop some lock rock. I hope to send it in within the next coming days.

With all that said, I still love the knife. It fills a role of EDC I have been wanting for a while now.

Hope you enjoy it for a long time to come.
 
Great video.

Next time the lockbar goes too far, before you reach for something to pry it open, try pulling back on the blade and disengaging the lockbar at the same time:thumbup:

To me it seems like it's a tough knife that would last, I would be concerned about heavy prying or twisting as the one scale is just g10.

Thanks man, hopefully you get your lock rock taken care of...
 
I have two of these little knives, both are new and I really like them but the fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired, esp for a $300.00 knife. Both of mine are the "Lego Versions" I need to send one back to Strider to have it adjusted depending, on how you open the blade it has lock rock? I too would like to have a tool to adjust the pivot. But I guess you cant have everything.... The hell you cant come on strider get us a tool to adjust the pivot!! My SNG functions flawlessly as does my SMF they aren't pretty but they are good hard use knives. JMHO...
