Until you can make a knife better then Bark River can, just shut your pie hole. HAve you ever even thought of making a knife? Didn't think so. You have no idea how much talent it takes...........LOL :eek: :eek:

This thread has become terminally infected with retardation.

Thank God, Ford motor company warranties their vehicles, huh???
 
Gentlebeings, in spite of all the nonsense from the peanut gallery messages worth posting are being posted -- post #267 for instance. We might get fed up and ban six or eight of the peanut gallery. We're not going to let the peanut gallery force closure of the thread.
 
who here has broken a knife , I dont mean like 1/8 of the tip , I mean broke , snapped , etc. When I use a knife it is to cut , if I need to chop I use an axe or hatchet , if I need to pry I use a prybar. I don't expect any knife to be able to do all those and to expect one to do all those things everytime is not something I am willing to bet on. I spend good money on my tools , I use them for their intended purposes.

definition of a knife :
1. A cutting instrument consisting of a sharp blade attached to a handle.
2. A cutting edge; a blade.

I doubt you could convert a diehard Strider owner to a Busse owner or a diehard Busse owner to a Strider owner. There are different makers making different stuff because we all have different tastes and wants.
Looking thru my safe I have Striders , Blackwoods , Emersons , |Zero|'s , and misc others . I EDC a SMF or AR because that is what I feel FOR ME is the best choice. I have used it for things other than cutting , if I break it doing something out of the norm I wouldn't send it back. Going on 3 years with the AR being used daily and I am still happy as hell I bought it.

I bet there are people who could say the same thing about their favorite maker.

Perhaps it is time to stop the " my knifemaker is better than your knifemaker " debate and get back to enjoying all of em.

Excellent point since those types of posts just are an indication of ignorance for all to see.
 
I can say if I did break it doing other then what it was intended for i.e.. cutting.... say I was prying open a door. or whatever that happens to be that would break my Strider. I would send it back knowing full well that I would get a knife back that was as good as the one that broke in the first place. With that said if I was trying to break it I don't know that I would send it back unless the guys wanted it back because the info I gave them told them there might be something wrong with that knife..... I would not expect to receive a replacement knife as I was trying to break it in the first place and second because by doing that with any warranty you usually void it. For me and mine it is Strider or go home but I know this is not for everybody. I don't think there can be one knife for everybody. or one anything for that matter that is yet another reason we should give thanks for being born in a country where we have choices.... not one that what our leader says is the only thing we ever hear and the only thing we can repeat. Mick said it best there is an ass for every seat.... and I will add ....and a knife for every pocket or belt as the case may be. Just my .02 in this crazya$$ thread that has meandered all over hell and back.

... the new one would be marked to indicate that you intentionally destroy knives in your "tests"

What difference does it matter if I intentionally broke other knives with respect to that one? So all Strider knives that I buy now come with the marked blade? What about all the other people who have intentionally broken blades, does the same hold for them as well?

The break on that WB wasn't intentional, the prying was an intentional break, but the knife was a write off by then anyway as there was no way to repair the primary grind damage from the concrete block impacts and quite frankly I didn't see that as the expected behavior, neither did the rash of makers and users who attacked the review.

What constitutes knife abuse?

Use which induces a higher stress than the promoted use.

Could you please provide links or direct quotes from Mick or Duane or Strider Knives, wherein he promotes his knives being able to withstand a specific usage (which you then tested and thereby functionally damaged his knives)?

Could you also please provide links and or direct quotes wherein Mick asked you to review the WB? And could you also please provide links or direct quotes wherein Mick's or Duane's original response to your reported results was uncivil?

No problem. Before I do so I ask the following of Mick :

1) Do you deny that you sent me the WB to review. Do you deny that your responce to the review were personal attacks and more than a little negative.

2) Do you deny that you used to actively promote Strider knives by impacting them into concrete and metal at shows and infact promoted even heavier use in emails to customers

This still goes on now. I note again, check the thread on USN called "A fair and impartial test" or something similar, where a JEB is subjected to concrete impacts, axe hits, etc., and the review is heavily applauded by Strider fans.

Look at a very recent review posted here where someone makes a very Strider inspired blade (notes it in the post) and guess what is done with it.

And besides that, concrete block chops are not even a heavy test anyway, a CU/7 from becker will chop a block all day long and just wear the edge away. Not to mention that Ray Kirks highly cutting optomized bowie did it with little effect.

These are complaints about a level of durability which is exceeded by mid-level productions, smashed by high level productions, and even exceeded by knives which don't even focus on durabiilty at all but are optomized by cutting ability.

And again, do your custom folders have the same weakness to torques that the Buck/Strider folders have which you openly admitted to on the forum when I broke one, and would they fare any better than the Chinook II in regards to impact, prying, and batoning?

I don't know the answers, but these Striders are wicked:
