Strider Knives Quality Improvements: Surprising Precision for 2014
Published: 10 years ago
For years, I've lamented the paradox that is Strider Knives. While they've always been robustly built, with some intriguing and functional design features, they've also had some quality and consistency issues that have kept me from buying one.
They've traditionally suffered from poor, if not dangerous, lockup at times, horrible pivot action, and poor blade centering. But I've had several examples of 2014 production in for sharpening this year, and since I happen to have 2 SMF's in at the same time, both with excellent and representative current build quality, I thought I would share with you the good news...
