Strider smf or Emerson supercommander

[bigdawggie]

which one folks? smf or super commander?

I would very prefer much the Strider over the Emerson, but that is just me.

Which is the better knife? SMF

But the question you have to ask yourself is: Is it worth twice as much?

 

[Josh K]

SMF for me. With the price comes a level of quality not normally seen on production knives. :thumbup:

 

[clearytja]

Hard to compare the two. Two very different price levels. Frame lock versus liner lock. Recurve versus drop point.

[MORIMOTOM]

if price is irrelevant, i would also get the smf.

Strider...by a hair.

You could buy two Super Commanders for the price of one SMF. So the question is, is the Strider worth as much as 2 Emersons?

Yes.

I'd pick the SmF over the Commander, BUT I'd pick the Emerson Comrade over the Strider(come to think of it, I did!).

Nothing wrong with them but Emersons are just a poor man's Strider.

Haha, hilarious!

My Emerson sees a good amount of use - for me, I'd pick the Emerson...but really price is my biggest consideration.

2 totally Different classes and choices. It's like asking "Should I get a Sebenza or a Spyderco Endura". You're talking a $475 knife and a $175 knife. If price isn't an option get the SMF. Most days I EDC an SMF In a leather Holster and a Commander or 15 clipped. SO I like them Both. If it was the Apocalypse and I only could grab 1 I'd take the SMF. or Compromise and get a an Emerson Frame lock??

Strider but I think that it is silly comparing knives that are so different. Its like saying should get a honda civic for an infinity G4. If you have the money go for the strider

A big emphatic YES!

 

[Hateman]

Strider for me. One Commander I bought eventually had liner lock failure. Not during a spine whack test, just daily use.

 

[THE PUNISHER]

Strider the resale is higher plus everything else..........

 

[kodiak]

This posts needs a picture of both. After 17 posts, surely 2 someone's have one each.

I'm sorry for calling you both Surely.

I would pick the Super C especially with the stone washed finish and the swedge. I own a Super C and a single M commander in the s.w. finished and I just like the handle ergo's better. I have owned a couple of Striders and well now I don't. Different stroked for different folks is what I say. Most will choose a Strider probably but I like the EKI handle ergo's a ton so that is the route I would take. keepem sharp
