Striders Blade Camo Paint

[Slap Stick]

Hello,

I notice Strider is using a camo paint on their blades, does this add increased strength to the steel ?

May I suggest a new knife using Pink Sparkles Paint on the blade and a rainbow colour handle. Mick, u could name it the:

"Rainbow Warrior"

I am sure u would have a whole new clientele hanging out at your knife shop

Cordially

Make that polka dots and I know someone who'd buy it! []
Btw, Rainbow Warrior is a Greenpeace ship...


Now, what's with the Strider bashing lately?

Now, I just don't know your questions are from your curiosity or you're just being a troll. But I give you benefit of the doubt.

Nope, it does not increase the strength of the blade.

It's not paint either, just residual color left over from the heat treat. They bead blast sections of the blade to reveal the steel color underneath.

I'm not so sure that all Strider knives have the bead-blast/carbonization tiger stripes. At the Chesapeake show last year, Duane Dwyer said that he was testing different types of steel coatings. I saw an OD-green coated Dwyer D9, but Duane said that it was just a test and looked like crap. Their customs or limited-run knives might feature blade-coating tiger stripes.

The tiger stripe finish you see on most all the Strider knives is NOT a coating. The only coating you usualy see are on the all black coated blades like some of the D9's, Valkyrie's, and SnG's.
