The sheath is screwed to a Tek-Lock from Blade Tech for attaching to different size belts. It’s very rigid and wide at the opening making re-sheathing of the knife very easy without looking. It’s a custom molded piece of fairly thick Kydex made from a single sheet folded over and riveted together. Sheathįinally, let’s take a look at the included sheath. I don’t anticipate ever doing this, but it’s nice to know the capability is there. The cord can easily be removed for anything you might need cord for including attaching the knife to a pole for use as a makeshift spear if needed. I actually shortened the cord on mine down significantly, I have it mounted to my IBA and the cord was too likely to get caught on things or tangled. It comes from Strider with a enough cord hanging off the back to put your wrist through and use as a lanyard. I do wish the handle was just a hair longer to fit my hand better but it’s girth is just about right. This makes the handle big enough to fill the hand but not be too bulky. It is a double wrap pattern that Bryan demonstrated on a previous “knot of the week” segment. The knife is available with several different colors of cord wrapping including olive drab, black, and coyote like mine. I am also a big fan of the handle wrapped with 550 cord.
Strider knives founder plus#
Plus you cannot discount the CDI factor of tiger stripes. I have pretty much abused this knife and it still looks brand new.
I am not entirely sure what this coating is made up of but it sure works good. Even the blades put out by Zero Tolerance that are a collaboration with Strider have this pattern. This tiger stripe pattern has become a de facto trademark of Strider blades. The blade also has a very attractive tiger stripe pattern that is hand applied to the blade. I have actually used the butt of this knife to hammer in tent stakes and deal with errant nails sticking out where they should not be. The butt of the knife is squared off and with it’s width is well suited for occasional bashing. With the blade being this thick it is not a problem to use this knife for more than just a little light pry work. The blade on the very popular Benchmade Griptillian is even thinner. My EDC folder is a Spyderco Endura Wave and it has a fairly thick blade at only 1/8”, half that of the Strider. It’s 1/4” across except for where it tapers down for the point, compared to most knifes this is massive. One of the more impressive things about this knife if the width of the blade. It’s 7 3/4” of S30V steel with a 3 3/4” Americanized Tanto point blade as popularized by the late Bob Lum. Let’s start by taking a look at the knife itself. What could be more primitive than a sharpened hunk of steel with a piece of rope wrapped around it for a handle? Details It has cut anything I have put before it, and also pried and bashed it’s way through jobs no knife should be asked to do and come out no worse for the wear.
It has proved itself to be exceptionally useful with it’s thick blade and sharp edge. This knife couldn’t be more simple, it is a solid piece of S30V steel with an edge, a point, and wrapped in 550 cord. One knife I own epitomizes all three of these aspects, my Strider WP tanto point. I’m not sure if it is their simplicity, or their all around general usefulness, or maybe it just appeals to the more primitive part of my brain. Various Strider designs have met and exceeded the requirements in each of these fields.Let me start off by saying I have a thing for knifes. The background of Strider Knives founders enables the company to assess requirements in diverse fields ranging from the average line soldier/marine through special operations, law enforcement and hunting to commercial diving. Others are simply the company's ability to look at a potential work environment and design a prototype to be tested and assessed by the workers of that environment. Many of Striders available edged tools are drawn from customer's specific design requirements. The initial goal having been met, Strider Knives found a ready market for custom-edged weapons and tools with the same component quality requirements as the first highly successful field knives. The initial goal was to provide a field service knife constructed with the finest components available, yet affordable to the average enlisted man and within his maintenance abilities. The company was founded and is currently operated by former military personnel. Strider Knives is a privately owned and operated company devoted solely to the development and construction of edged tools designed to survive use in the harshest of conditions.
