Strider Fixed Blades - GS vs. MT

[HoopleHead]

ive been torn between the GS-GG and the MT-SS GG for weeks and weeks now. im only getting one so the standard CPF answer doesnt apply anyone have any comments on either of these?

the GS just has sweet lines, but the MT-SS seems more flexible with the serrations. this is for my "bada$$ hardcore fighting knife" that i will keep by my bed kinda leaning towards the GS...

halp!

Not a fan of Mick Strider's personal history (armed carjacking) or his knives. I'd personally look for a dagger if it stays at home. From things I've read, saw teeth or serrations aren't a desirable feature in a weapon.

My suggestion? Ek Commando knives, double edge model. You'll save money and it goes to a more worthy company. http://www.ekknife.com/index.html

Just an opinion.

Do you need the saw teeth??. I also would lean toward the GS.

personally dont really care about the strider drama, but i do love my SnG. it will mostly stay at home but i would like to be able to take it out when camping etc. i have looked at quite a few double bladed daggers, but not a lot really grab me. those EKs look nice but im not really a brass guy, not tacticool enough for me

yeah, i guess i dont really need the saw teeth.

thanks for the comments, much appreciated! would love to hear more and from others that have either of these 2 models or other fixed blade striders.

was thinking of a huge mercworx too but not really the same class...

Easy choice. MT-SS GG for its swedge. Hopefully, it is a sharpened swedge. But I will take a Swamp Rat Mini-Mojo over those Striders as a bedside HD blade anyday, anytime.
