"IMHO, a Strider is like a "fantasy" knife, they don't cut well, you can't beat the hell out of them, and if you really want to mess someone up, a $3 "made in China" machete will work just fine. Of the percentage of people who buy Stiders who actually use them, how many use them in a tactical situation? As for their folders, a Sebenza is a better knife -and is a lot cheaper.īasically, I guess if you've got the dough, it's nice to add something "different" to your collection, but in terms of real world applications, there are a lot of better choices out there at a better price. IMHO, a Strider is like a "fantasy" knife, they don't cut well, you can't beat the hell out of them, and if you really want to mess someone up, a $3 "made in China" machete will work just fine. Not from a thieving car jacker who lies and overcharges for a piece of steel that has a low grade finish with a cord wrap -that in itself is daylight robbery. I like to buy from guys who have integrity, many years of experience, can produce a superior product and justify the cost. Personally, I'd rather spend my money on a Busse Combat knife or a Dozier. You price high, you create the "illusion" of a superior product. Just a user/ abuser who is happy with his Strider purchase. Like I said, no expert, visionary, or God. I have also, unfortuanetely, been involved in a knife on knife incident before and was lucky enough to walk away with a better understanding of what actually works and does not (for ME) in this context. I do work hard and "play" hard as well, and my tools are often victim to that. I don't plan on going to war or working assasinations. I'm not an "operative" or a martial art student. Though these same people consistently ask for my knife to do something they will not admit not trusting their own steel to do, and I'm happy with that. I wear the MFS in a horizontal kydex on the back of my belt and am very happy with how the sheath and carry placement have worked out so far.Ī couple of people have laughed at the tiger-striping, or called the wrap handle uncomfortable. It might seem trivial, but the knife was to be used and carried right out of the box and I needed a suitable carry system post-haste. I have an interest in small Busse knifes as well, but the fact of the matter, as applied to my case, was that spending 230.00$ on a good small fixed knife with a functional sheath I feel more comfortable about then spending as much and having to hunt down an after-market sheath. Basically beat the knife with no reservations, and despite some appearance issues, the knife is still as solid as the day I bought it. I have cut two inch bridle leather with it numerous times. The knife has been used to clean small game, dig rocks out of tent sites, baton kindling, pry aluminum sheeting off a backyard shed. I have owned an MFS for two months now, and can say I do not regret the purchase at all. However, I do have functions best performed by a fixed blade and decided to invest in a good quality fixed knife about two months ago for general woods-craft, SD knife if I was ever that desperate (again), and something that could, in whatever unfortunate circumstance, be used as a pry-aid. Lanyard hole.I guess impractical depends on definition. The over-sized pivot adds to the robustness of this knife. The titanium pocket clip (tip up) is removable and also has the "Heat Striping" finish. GEN 2 MARSOC frame lock features lockbar stabilizer with jimping. The top handle is texturd ranger green G-10.
