[@coldsteelcollector808]

I’ve asked myself for a long time now why do I absolutely love the way a strider looks so much? And couldn’t quite figure it out (I mean besides the obvious reasons) but the reasoning still felt “incomplete” BUT YOU SAID IT!!! THATS IT!!! THE GEOMETRY!! Lol....thanks man it feels good to finally know now what that missing piece was....awesome video, love the channel just found you the other day and have been watching a ton of your content....aloha and blessings from Hawaii 🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@michaele7896]

I'm super stoked you put this video up now. This post was a longer read then i intended. Moral of the story; i love my SNG, but it was clearly poorly modified by somebody, needed some TLC and is now everything i ever hoped it would be. >
I just got my first ever Strider just last week. Its a M. Strider SNG. It was used but in very good shape cosmetically.
I'm very happy with the knife. But I have to be honest, i wasn't at first.
I don't know what all the previous owner might have done, but it had detent lash and rattled when closed, had a very weak detent and the weakest lockbar pressure I've ever felt, so weak I came to the conclusion pretty quick the guy I bought it from bent the lockbar.
First things first i had to bend the lockbar to have a decent amount of tension. I thought it would solve the detent issue at the same time. It didn't, still had detent play and extremely weak detent.
Plus the mother of all lock stick. Ok i think i see why the former owner probably bent the lock bar to be weaker. But that won't cut it for me. Long story short I slightly carbidized the lock bar, and replaced the detent with a new one. Detent lash solved, weak detent solved and lock bar tension solved. What started as a strider horror story is now a love story.
As its my first strider i dont know if any of those things were as they were ment to be or how it left the factory. But I doubt it.
On the subject on the detent lash, my findings were that the steel detent had flattened against the sand blasted finish, very flattened to where it didn't engage the detent hole anymore. The new detent I replaced is ceramic and it's perfection. The lock still pops a bit when unlocking and it's wearing in right around 20%.
I agree that well done titanium to steel frame locks are the best. Medford, Chris reeve, Curtiss and Grimsmo don't use steel inserts and they perform perfectly.

I just bought a Sebenza 31 and its one of or if not my favorite knife. i think we have the same taste. The SNG looks like somthing i would like. it would be a hard knife to get now because it so hard to find. but def on my list. im not big on flippers. i also like the finger toil too. what stinks is im big in the more expesnsive knives now and i just started really getting into knives.

[@Tom-uj4uf]

Hey Nero, Spyderco is releasing the Military 2 model to replace the original Military - your favorite knife. It will have different ergonomics on the handle and a compression lock instead of the liner lock. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. I hope you come back again one day.

[@ravingbadger]

it won't replace the military, they will still produce the model without the compression lock

[@lindboknifeandtool]

I’m not into the change. The military was perfect, we don’t need to precariously close the blade one handed when you can already do that more securely with a liner lock. Idk.

[@Lion_Hamza]

Knives who are made a self defense tools should never have bare metal scales. Whenever your hand will be very wet or bloody the knife will be like a soap 🧼 bar in your hands.

[@Montblanc1986]

The chest lever grip is decent on the SMF. I’ve never found the blade geometry to be really excellent for cutting but mine are all pre 2010

[@voodoo7008]

The cutting edge on mine had a variable angle. I’ve fixed it since. Since mine is intended for hard use, and not filleting fish, I went with a high angle.

[@jeffthompson1231]

What does that mean if the pivot has lash??

[@codyflood6995]

There's play between the pivot and the hole the pivot goes in on the blade Tang.

I wonder if the hardware has changed through the years with Strider. I noticed the regular sng needed barrels for the screws but the hybrid version didn't 🤔

The show side of the newer knives are aluminum. Single screws thread directly into the aluminum.

How's the detent on your SNGs? My SNG have a rather flat dent ball, I don't know if it is normal.

Its Normal because they use shitty detent balls.
Both my SNG and SMF have pancaked detent balls.
Only knives I've ever had that happen too.
My SMF is also the only ti framelock that I've seen the lock face actually wear.. you know why? Untreated titanium.
Reasons why ill never own another strider.

[@ScottieG59]

Note: if you look for a Strider on the secondary market, there are MANY counterfeits widely sold. Personally, my rule is never buy on the secondary market. But, if you choose to buy outside the authorized vendor markets, there is a good chance it will be counterfeit. I bet the counterfeit Striders far outnumber the genuine Striders.

[@Savage.Doomer]

Too bad nowhere has them in stock.

[@lancasteredc7773]

How can you tell if you buy a strider on secondary market that it's fake or real? And how do you know the seller is selling a legit strider cause many people do sell real ones.

[@londiniumarmoury7037]

You forgot the most important part about the SnG. Mick Strider was a liar who fabricated his entire special forces backstory, and is guilty of stolen valour. He then went on to use his fabricated backstory to fool blade magazines and the online knife community and used the fame and memory of fallen soldiers Shugart and Gordon to create a knife in their name after they were dead, to shamelessly promote his knives and make profit.

[@ianflyfishmontana]

Dude, I’ve had dozens of Striders and dozens of Hinderers.
EVERY single Strider folder I have ever owned has had lock rock or blade play.
I have NEVER ever had a single Hinderer that has had any kind of lock.
You’re not being honest. I absolutely don’t think you’ve owned very many knives.

[@Lion_Hamza]

Sadly knives have somehow been heavily overpriced the last few years. People are willing to pay obscene prices for mediocre knives. A very good example are the Strider knives. People are paying up to 1000 dollars plus for a knife that comes from a stolen valor guy with severe lockstick and really bad finish many times.

[@gamebredduckhunter7651]

Jimping isn’t completely unnecessary it’s just too much for your soft women like hands

Are these new SNGs!! They look like the old aluminium scales that came out a few years ago. No lock bar insert, not even carbonised lock face. Dodgy lock face geometry that caused lock rock etc. Poor fit and finish and horrible grind. They look cool though. Just always though of strider as a bad version of micro tech.

Sorry it’s just me or not.. I can’t stand lanyards... on that Strider... it’s like putting a man bun on it.. man buns are nothing but a saddle horn for their partner... Just Nah.... it actually grossed me out seeing that gross lanyard on that manly, powerful, perfect example of a Strider. Plus it makes no sense that Strider has a huge place to to put your hand... no need for a lanyard... only thing I see them useful on are my axes cause I wrap it around my wrist so I don’t end up losing grip an the axe go flying possibly of hurting someone.

[@dimi7055]

strider is a hype and the truth is its just average at best with average f&f sold on a fake story for way too much money. truth is in that price range there are knives 10x as good not sold on a lie. but good video after all.
