Subaru, I owned a Strider RC. I still think that it is the best looking tactical folder ever, but that did not stop me from selling it. I have big hands. I carry a modified Strider AR so I am used to carring big knives. Strider has the scope of this knife wrong. It is much to large and heavy to serve any practical, real world purpose. Perhaps it was not made for the real world. Like all Strider knives the ergonomics of the grip is wrong, designed for a stunning visual effect more than comfort and positioning. The recurve is very drastic. the only thing that will touch it is sticks. If you use Gatco, lansky or any other clamp system forget it. Anyways, enough; rugged, well made, visually almost perfect, much to big, heavy, impractical, hard to sharpen and very expensive. I would be happy to offer more if you want it. Nacci
