Dear Buck Knives family,
thanks soooooo much for making the wonderful SB-1. When these knives first came out, I thought they were stupid, Why would anyone want such a thick, big folder I wondered? But then a year and a half ago I learned that the SB-1 has a lot of things going for it that other tactical folers don't have.
Now, being in graduate school and having spent a while paying for an engagement ring, I had little money for knives for the past few years. And then opportunity struck! Just before Christmas Richard Derespina put an SB-1 he modified on for sale at a great price. I told my fiancee about the deal, and she said that she'd help me pay for it for my birthday. I'd rather have a great wife than a great knife, but a great wife that will help you buy great knives is perfect!
So I am the proud owner of an SB-1. With the SAK in my pocket for fine work, this SB-1 will handle all of the rough and tough work I need it for, and then some.
To be honest, I've never been much of a Buck fan. Several years ago a friend bought one of your classic hunting blades with silver-looking fittings and black handle, and I just never cared for it myself. Not several other Buck knives. But this Strider collaboration has made me a Buck customer. It is clear from this knife that Buck can make a great knife, and I applaud Buck for appealing to a wide customer base. Tomorrow I turn a whopping 25, and this SB-1 has really made this birthday a special one.
