I have a 250-300$ auto bench made. but of course i traded for it, and i made a killer deal.. i would not pay that much for it personally.
Which is nice if you need to do that, but how well do they function as standard knives? Based on the one I've seen, not particularly well. At least not well enough to justify the price. Overweight, sharpened, prybars...which is nice if you need that, I don't.Drive it through steel, cut a car apart with it
They are not the same knife, but they were designed by the same people. I know I can't expect the same performance, but there should be similarities, or the "Strider" tag was less than marketing, it was fraud. I had one of the early BG42 SB2 models.And judging the Buck collaboration and then saying Striders are the same isn't right - they're not the same knife.
You're right. I'm not dropping $300+ on a knife unless it impresses me when I handle it. The Strider didn't. I'll be glad to take another shot at it if you'll supply me one to use for a week. I'll carry and use it every day and make a decision based on experience. Until then, I'll base my judgement on my experience with a licensed copy and the 2 minutes I spent handling a real Strider knife at a knife show.Hey, if you don't like Striders that's fine but you sure haven't given them much of a chance.
Anyone who thinks a $50 knife is as good as a Strider folder is greatly mistaken.
Show me a knife that will even cut a nail in half without dulling or nicking the blade and I will buy a thousand of them.Valkman Look at Strider knives - the big folders run $350 and they will do things that will turn your $25 knife into pieces. Drive it through steel, cut a car apart with it - if you need it to save your life it'll be there. That's the difference. Then again I wear a $8k Rolex.
