![]() Where the SnG really stands out is in the area of "confidence." Not because it can take abuse - I own fixed blades that are designed specifically for that purpose - but because it's the one folder I own that feels absolutely solid in my hand, even when it's wet and cold out and my hands are hurting. Yes, the blade is on the thick side (.165"), but after re-profiling to 30 degrees with a 40 degree back bevel, it slices just fine - maybe not as well as my FFG Endura, but about the same as my saber ground Endura4. Of the two, I prefer the SnG, because the SMF is too big for my purposes I also find the Military too big (although I do own one). Personally, I consider the Strider SMF and SnG two of the best designed folders on the market. If you do your Internet due diligence, you'll find that people either love or hate Strider knives. I myself won't own one.Īll very old news. OldHoosier62 wrote:Check over a BF.there are legitimate questions that have never been answered by the owners of the company. How do you feel about thick, heavy, robust folders that are built like tanks? The AR and RC might not be available any more, though. So, yes, personally I do like these particular Strider models. The blades on these knives are rather thick, so some ELUs may not find them to necessarily be as smooth a slicer as a thinner blade, but these knives are certainly durable in design and have a good heft to them. The RC has a rather unique curve in the blade with the sides of the handle a combination of G-10 and plain titanium. The AR is even more built like a tank and thicker, rounder at the handles. It's close to a Hinderer XM-18 or XM-24 in built and design (i.e., G-10 on one side of the handle, plain titanium on the other. I love the design, robust built, and find it to be the most practical of the three models. call it curiousity or the sake of just owning one. Personally, I bought these because I wanted a Strider folder. I do own three different models of Strider folders in different scale colors and, in some cases, blade finish patterns. ![]()
