When you said you wanted to the first guy to wave a strider... Well, I traded my LCC D/A for an SMF and went ahead and did it :p

it ain't done yet! Where is the bottle opening ceremony?!!!

No more of those... unless it's a Coke bottle. My wife is working a drug treatment program and I've decided to kick the pot and booze as well to support her. Better for me anyways. More money for knives.
 
From what I remember of what my granpap told me it's a Norhoovian friendship toast. He used to have the top of an old wooden beer keg/tap with "Skål" in script in the middle hanging on the wall in the kitchen.

On a more relevant note- how long does it take to wave a blade? Was the Strider more difficult than say the Boker/Spydie/5.11? Have you waved a Buck Odyssey?
 
This one took the longest by far... almost 30 minutes... then again, I pay attention to detail. A Spyder or 511 kbit usually takes me 10 minutes. An Odyssee would be easy. Does it carry tip up?
 
Wow,just when I thought Striders couldn't get any uglier.








:p

I figured it took ya longer to do the Stryder...I think it looks pretty dang good. The Ody would need the clip converted- which shouldn't be a big deal.

Not to derail the thread, but good for you!
 
I would say good looking knife, but Strider's are ugly anyways. Good .... mod I guess???

And now you just have to ditch the Coke and your arteries will thank you!
 
Hey , good for you CM.

I applaud anyone who makes a knife truly their own. :)
