Ask me about automatic Rainy Vallotons, Protechs or Microtechs or Benchmades. There are tons of knives I have not followed up on just because someone mentioned them. To be honest some of the Buck knives just don't seem that great and I didn't know they were hooked in with Strider. If I'm paying that much for a knife I want something that isn't wrapped with a shoelace for a handle, hee hee!
 
striders are very stout heavy duty knives imho, most are on the verge of being too big/thick for edc carry, the only con imho,

lots of there fixed blades have micarta/G10/etc handles, not all are cord wrapped, nothing wrong with cord wrap though.

i like them myself. some folks have a problem with the owner, but i have never heard anyone say they arent good knives FWIW.

Ohh so you do know a little bit about Striders.. I knew you were trolling - but what really is offensive is your thinking that everyone around here is stupid and isn't going to see through your B/S. Why bother???? if ya dont like em' - dont buy em!

Beat me to it. :) I saw my first Strider "discussion" two days after I found this place.

I learned from the posts that folks were kind enough to take the time to write. That's how many of us learn at bladeforums. It is a shame you can't see the confusion I would have with knives of similar names like Strider, Stryder, and Stryker. I don't work in a knife store so it is something I was curious about. Your language on the post shows a lack of maturity and understanding so I am not offended by your comments.
 
Guess I missed that review. So there yah go, manix kicks both Strider and sebenza butt. At like 1/3 the cost.

Sounds like the deal with "Stryder" is to buy a manix. :p
