Jim, thanks again for another great review (and pictures). Let's see... what can I sell to get one of these. I find your consistency and methodology so useful and reliable for my ongoing "knifeology" education. At the risk of going overboard with the patronization, I find myself thinking, "What would Ankerson have to say," when it comes to questions about knives and steels. Perhaps a Blade Forums bumper sticker is in line. OK, I'm shutting up now. Mike

Next time you're unsure about your knife, just ask yourself, "WWAD?"
Anyway, nice video. Between this and the pictures, I'm close to making this my first Strider. Do you find the hollow grind makes it thin enough right above the edge? It looked like it sliced through everything quite nicely.
Good stuff as always, Jim. Can't wait for my 3V SmF to get here!![]()

Great video and review. Mine should be arriving today or tomorrow. How did the finish hold up to hard use?
