What do you intend to use the knife for? The Buck Strider is a fairly large and rough-handled knife, and wasn't something that I found comfortable to carry in my pocket. Many of the Emerson designs can be easily pocketed. I had a Strider for a while and wouldn't hesitate to choose it for a severe duty application. I'd probably choose an Emerson for an everyday knife though.

Buck Strider made some really nice knives too. The ones with G-10 handles were intense, like the 880:







I have had bad luck with Emerson Knives. Usually off-center blades, sticky locks, poor finish, etc.
