thats only cause youre biased and that isnt very help to this guy, objective opinions are best here especially since he is considering of buying a $400+
knife
and how many striders have you owned?? how many cold steals?? i would say i could very objectively speak of them as i have owned several of each mentioned, nothing wrong with strider folders and fixed blades, imho becker and busse are both better fixed blades than CS though some CS FB's arent bad, i just dont like theowner of CS's ethics, never have been a big admirer of CS folders, i dont care for FRN handles for one, most of the designs are old as can be for 2,
also not sure that the link ya provided is to a legit source.
