ZT0121 Strider small fixed blade

[cutter17]

Anyone have one? What are your thoughts on it? I really like the looks and I like the size. Looks like the sheath is a hi-ride style and with winter coming on I'm thinking it would be easy to carry and easy to conceal, to a degree, I'm not looking to carry just because it is easy to conceal, but that IS a one factor that I am considering just to keep from drawing unwanted attention.

I bought one. It's a beautiful massive hunk of steel. Having one when Hell breaks out would be a good thing but It's too heavy for EDC. I was thinking one could chop down a small tree with this thing.

I have one ( havent really cut mch yet though, knife collection growing faster than I can use them ) , It did come hair shaving sharp, but not as sharp out of box as some of my other kershaws/spydies,

I am not sure how much use I will get out of the cord cutter, nor how to sharpen that part if it ever gets dull, it does look cool however,

For its size this thing is heavy, I have a sneaking suspicion I will end up packing the BM fecas gamer more due to weight.

This particular knife is one I recomend handling before purchase, it may or may not fit your hand and if you have large hands could be a three finger knife.


I have medium size hands so am just able to tolerate the stubby handle, the perrin bowie style finger choil certainly adds to a secure grip. Having such a short handle definitly makes for a compact package on the belt although I would have preferred an extra 1/4 - 1/2 " of handle .

The sheath is well made and very secure with the suicide strap, moderatly secure with no strap, The tek lock certainly is convenient but bulky, I will likely ditch it in favor of paracord thru the slots for belt attach.

Recurve and sharpening would be issue if you didnt have a spyderco triangle set up or similar.

I give this a 7/10 overall, It could be a 9/10 with a few small changes to the handle dimensions,

I would like to see a 121 "lite" built with 0.125 blade stock of a less expensive steel than s30 ,
