Nice comparison, old versus new...
But I think the cuffs should be old school replaced by zip-ties...

Not much experience on either end, mind you....

The only handgun-knife pic I have at the moment...

Will have to cook up another one...

A perfect hunting pair; a 6.5” .41 Blackhawk and a Cold Steel Master Hunter.



And...

A 6.5” .32 H&R Bisley Blackhawk and my Grandfathers favorite Craftsman hunting knife:



That old folder dressed a ton of deer, turkeys, Bobwhites and mourning doves over the decades.

And finally...

A 5” Springfield Loaded .45 ACP and a Cold Steel Recon Tanto. This knife rests in my nightstand with a tac flashlight as a utility tool/weapon of last resort:



Stay safe.

Excellent match. I almost pulled the trigger on a strider so many times. I gravitated to the XM's by a very slim margin.

New Glock44 & Chris Reeves Sebenza w/ polished S35VN blade & Micarta inlays.

I didn't realize we had so many knife guys on the forum. I'm a strong believer that one needs a good quality cutting tool and you just can't get good performance out of a $5 knife. I hate the lil hardware store specials that I see some carrying but I'm also a believer in to each his own too. No $5 knife specials for me. Not to sound snobby.

My former roommate was buddies with the Strider crew, we went down to their shop/facility in SoCal near the USMC base at Camp Pendleton a few times to see their latest and talk with Mick and Duane and the others. This was back when all they marketed were the fixed blade ATS-34 brutes with the paracord wraps, long before they got into folders and all the hoopla about Mick Strider began.

The Strider knives I handled are awesome tools that’ll last at least two lifetimes if not dropped in a deep lake and lost .

Stay safe.

Only reason I don't have a Strider in my hand right now. I'm not a vet but even still, the forums I belonged to long ago had plenty of "hoopla". I know you have to take what you read with a grain of salt but usually when there is ALOT of smoke, there's usually a lil fire. But, if you got a good one, you got a good one.

Some mighty nice knives and guns being posted, especially that big Bowie .

Sadly this all I've got to offer in the big knife category...

Just a few of my favorite Spyderco knives...

G43 with Rick Hinderer 3" XM18 Wharncliffe...

G19 w/ Alpha Beast & Alpha Beast Infinity with Matt Cook Mods...
