Thats why I said it's SUBJECTIVE. So they aren't for you, but they are for many many people. Just Like Sebenzas Value is SUBJECTIVE. Like it or not, Thats what they cost, I think they are worth it and then Some. And FACT is that they retain their Value Used or not, the same as any SEB or Custom. They have many designs. CC SNG for example. I don't know what your particular subjective defination of "Ergonomic" is, Maybe fits your hand like a glove? or something less Box like? But Everyone has different hands. For me, the double choils are a comfortable as can be, and Knife retention in my hand is extrememly important. For me they are perfect.
People Will call SEBS Over priced when you can get a Skirmish or Bradly with the same exact materials for 1/3, but people Love sebs and People Love Strider. And the Fact is, It's Not like if he got either one it would be"Overpriced" If he Loved it like a lot of people do, or they would be out of buisness. And the FACT that they keep Their Re-sale/Trade value even when used you can't go wrong. I see trade post with people offering 4-6 production knives,Spydies,BMs, Emersons, ect, Just for 1 Strider or Seb. So how Can it be over priced if thats the Facts????? You don't like them but atleast half of the people would trade off 3-5 of their Spidies or BMs ect for 1 Strider folder or Seb.
So the aren't for you. They aren't for a lot of people. But Many LOVE them. and since they retain their value even when used, How could you go wrong?
