This is a lightly used SMF with OD/Ranger Green G-10 and tiger striped S30V blade. Blade is razor sharp, lockup is early and rock solid and a blade is perfectly centered......just returned from a Strider spa visit. :thumbup: The only signs of wear are minor scratches on the pocket clip and some light smoothing to the coating (which I could not capture with my camera).
I don't know much at all about Striders. I traded for this lightly used SMF because I wanted to try out a Strider. I sent it to the spa for a tune-up and it returned in less than two weeks from the day I shipped it! Talk about good customer service!! I like the design and it feels great in my hand. I carried it for two days after I got it back from Strider to see if I would/could put it in my lineup. I took it on a hunting trip this weekend to try it out and used it a handful of times for light work. It is a sweet blade! But....the fact of the matter is I just don't see it replacing my 3.5" XM for that size blade use, so it would see VERY LITTLE pocket time w/ me. I think it would be better off with someone who would use it more often.
The only one I saw for sale online just like this one is at http://www.knifeart.com/stknsmfgen2m2.html . They are selling it for $475 and it looks new or close to it. Looking for a quick sale so let's start this excellent conditioned user at $375 shipped and paypal'd to US address. SPF

Photo's taken today before I touched the edge up on a fine ceramic stone. Looks the same, just way sharper.
