Strider SnG.

[FC.]

Does anybody have one? Just wanted to hear some opinions.

 

[K-T]

No, don't have one - would love to have a model 3 SP but that's an expensive decision (and I don't need a knive like that anyway )

From what people tell they must be incredible.

All the replies I have read so far people are fully satisfied - and if not, Mick will take care of it,that's for sure.

i heard they weren't doing as well as hoped. it's a neat looking knife but i just don't get it. you get a smaller knife, one sided G-10 and pay more than an AR.

As I have heard/read the materials used are more expensive and they take more time to make thus the 50$ extra.

I thought the selling was doing ok.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">probably true. as far as selling, this is what i heard . so take it for what it's worth. i consider the source reputable or i wouldn't have posted it.

i've never handled an sng, but like the ar, i'm sure it's an excellent knife.

The SnG seems to be the little brother to the AR/GB in terms of size (not function!). That's why I would prefer the Sng. It seems to be just a little bit more pc.

They seem to sell out very quick...

Ever since I got my SnG, it's been my new EDC (retired & sold my AR). It's a fantastic knife, extremely sharp & great lockup. It's worth the extra $50, the G10 side & back-spacer are made from a single piece of G10 (the area below the back-spacer is completely milled away). Another item that makes this more expensive (and IMHO better) than the AR is that the AR is a liner lock, the SnG if a frame-lock. This thing is extremely light. Here's a few pics of it.

Enjoy,
Ed

Thank you very much! I have been asking for a pic like that for a week(on bladeforums).

 

[K-T]

Is that a model 1 with green G10? Nice!

 

[blackz28]

Thanks Guys,

Yes, this is a model 1 with the green G10.
Here's a pic of the G10 side (with some surefire friends)

Who's selling them? TadGear / tripleaughtdesign isn't taking orders.

 

[B@rt]

For some great pics, go to the TAD website here .

They sell the Tanto version too.
No knowledge about sites that take orders...

Very nice knives, but they are way out of my financial legue...

 

[Wolfen]

It looks like TAD has the tanto with the stone washed blade. If I was to spend the money it would have to look like the one pictured above. It just doesn't look like a tiger (I mean Strider) without the stripes

I bought one from TAD and another from Matt Donahue.

Gents, I have been using/buying/selling knives for years. The SnG is perhaps the most rugged, comfortable, well designed using knife I have ever seen. Sebenzas...had 3 (2 of them were handmade and #'d), sold em, Terzoula, had 1, sold it...and so on.

The SnG is extremely light, fits the hand extremely securely, has ROCK solid lock up and a frightening sharp S30V blade. ..(the cuts dont hurt until you go deep).

I love my GB, but this SnG is awesome...It does take a while for the lock surfaces to wear in, until then, it is very stiff... Once the phosphor bronze bearings smooth out and the heat treated ti. lock bar nestles into the radiused blade tang, it is knife heaven. If you like strong, unobtrusive knives that really are designed to perform, look no further.

I EDC it...you should too

Umm, to those of you that go to USN as well.

Mick Strider himself has just put up some photos of some testing that he did which involved a SNG and a BFH. (H stands for hammer).

Sounds like a great knife! I have been carrying and losing (factory) knives since I was in the second grade. (Isn't a shame a kid can't carry a pocket knife anymore?) That tiger striped SnG is one of the best looking knives I have ever seen.

 

[K-T]

these are the pics, YC was talking about. Enjoy.

According to Mick the knive still works perfectly after taking 10 blows with that tiny hammer on both sides.

Thanks Klaus.

That Mick is a very BAD man!
