Mick Strider Custom SnG: a rare & special piece

[@metal_complex]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I jumped up from the couch, and yelled to my wife, "I have to poop!" and ran to the bathroom, locking the door behind me. Of course, I didn't really. But it bought me the 15 minutes I'd need to watch this in peace... I'm still in here. Dreading going back to whatever crap she was watching on Lifetime.

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

Metal Complex hahhahaaaaaa

[@tovsteh]

+Metal Complex Watch something else, somewhere else? Sounds like she demand you keep her company.

[@Tinker.Studio]

Is there a window or ventilation shaft you can escape into?

[@paulx7620]

Yup but I've got kids yelling they need the bathroom I'm only 5 minutes in 😔

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

Ha. Just caught that I said “Dennis Farina” at the beginning instead of Paul Farina. I don’t believe the actor Dennis Farina has ever sold Damascus billets at a knife show. LOL

[@claviclenotch1876]

I waited 6 months for a Scorpion Six knife (paid for in full before build) and hated every minute of the wait. You are a better ( well waaaay more patient) man than me sir. Beautiful knife. Congrats.

[@adamedwards2261]

The most gorgeous and perfect piece of artwork and craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. I have a blue strider/marfione microtech and I love it.

[@ashleycarey3190]

That's well worth waiting 4 years for that handle is amazing

[@oxyrisin]

This dude be the Jay Leno of knives

[@Oliver.Ghilardi]

Fantastic knife and love the story behinde it ❤️🙏🏻

[@alexanders1445]

Every few months. I watch this. You better still have this SnG.

[@roofrack21]

He sold it

[@jameswoll]

Probably my favorite knife I've seen on your channel. Big fan of the SnG, and that handle finish is the sickest.

[@robdeskrd]

A mark of a connoisseur is easy patience in the name of greatness

[@nosafepath8427]

Absolutely gorgeous, congratulations brother, thank you for sharing 🙏🏼👊🏼

[@future_phonk]

I was just watching the SJ75 Full Stealth video and its funny to hear that you were thinking it would only be a few months before you'd get your custom SnG.

[@panzerfaust5119]

Wow! Thats awesome.Truely a work of art.Thanks for sharing Jim.

[@brokebikemtb4448]

This is an amazing piece jim....the story is a big part....I love it

[@haz9476]

That is an amazing looking knife. The finish on the titanium and that star fire blade is outstanding.

[@unfi6798]

We very jealous now.! Triple Cowabunga mate.!

[@k.nightravenm298]

Jim, That knife is a Beautiful Beast.

[@lastissue12]

Looks like it was handcrafted out of the meteorite, otherworldly!

[@teakey]

Loved hearing the Back Story

[@greenadam29]

Very nice Jim. Star fire and reptilian Damascus seem to be underrated nowadays. Excellent piece.

[@chandlerruoff6866]

definetely the sexiest strider ive ever seen, dope as hell

[@xavierso8549]

WOW that is sooo sick looking!!! and i love that pivot hole

[@MrKnifeart]

Great colors with that blade!

[@stark_syndrome7857]

Really love the knife, love everything he did but I’m not really digging the flats though but mabey it’s somthing you have to enjoy in person. But really great score it’s amazing.

[@rpnp2]

killer knife man.. Love the weathered look

[@IvanIvanov-vi6qk]

Just wow...!

[@JWolfe-xt5nr]

That's uniquelly beautiful.

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Beautiful blade for sure !!👍👍👍👍👍

[@MISTAREDboys]

Freakin awesome knife man, I’m lovin the reviews

[@TheFiendRacer]

Man I wish I could see this knife in person. I think I would’ve preferred the flats to be non textured so the Damascus pops but still so freaking awesome. I know it’s been sold, I wonder who got it and what it went for.

[@Slavster912]

These videos are awsome, and i wish i knew exactly where to get custom knifes.

[@csb2007]

How you gonna appreciate the vintage look of the blade over last few yrs when you jus got it this yr

[@quintenlake2760]

Just subscribed great vids keep it up... I'm also a knife enthusiasts

[@chumccurry1765]

Nice piece of art.

[@SteelArtschannel]

I think I'm one of those that live in a cave 😂 Very nice knife 😉

[@aerosaaber]

I gotta wait for the hi-rez to render or whatever unicorn-ery has to happen. This thing is too sexy to look at it all blurry like.

[@aerosaaber]

so it was worth letting the leprechauns do their work to maximize the resolution.

[@Bad_Rattle]

Looks awesome👌🏻

[@codalite]

Could you get your hands on Object 113 by Sergey Rogovets from SRmetalworks?

[@newcoyote]

Any Marisa knives on the radar? She does some damn nice stuff too but I don't know much about it.

[@teakey]

Jim, Still have the Hell Cat??

[@Hotflop2011]

Man you got the coolest shit

[@NaihanchinKempo]

have a Marfione custom MSG-3 Nightmare grind Apocalyptic finish, i love

[@VincenzoNero94]

Gorgeous. A custom strider has been my grail for a long time. It’ll never happen 😢

[@troywheatley744]

neroknives ...well thats the wrong attitude.

[@lotus111s]

oh man thats nice

[@bybakermade]

Whats up with that pocket clip placement? Looks like it leaves a huge portion exposed

[@homelessmillionaire1]

Jim, you know that handle finish is a copy of Todd Rexford's Hot Hammered Epicenter and Gamma. Or maybe you forgot.

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

YOUtuBeCritic I appreciate the love for Rexford, however he did not invent that finish. It’s been around since roughly the Bronze Age (verified with a friend).

[@lanehoward8816]

Love it 👏 👏 👏 👍 😆

[@другПараферналия]

I'd go for it.

[@paulx7620]

Looks like road asphalt with an oil spill. I'm only a few minutes minutes in so you might say that exactly later.

[@intxicatedduck2774]

OH MY!!

[@stark_syndrome7857]

Mabey you wanna sell that captain America strider now? just saying🤣 Great video as usual.

[@vansien]

Wow!! .................

[@m1k4c]

What do you think, how did he make the texture on titanium?

[@yeaman992]

Not a fan of Strider but that looks nice!

[@SnwBrdFrvr]

Amazing piece. I just wish strider would make more production knives for us "normal/poor" people who can't afford ridiculous knives like this

[@Glenn056]

nuts 4 knives they still are, just very limited due to high demand and a tiny crew

[@SnwBrdFrvr]

Glenn056 I take that back. I have seen/heard of some classic fixed blades going for sale but I'm not a fixed blade guy

[@ronaross1]

He knocked it out of the park. Just great originality. Are you going to start making flippers any time??

[@hellcatdave1]

Originality how? This isn't original at all. Other makers have been doing this exact style for years. Also the etch on this blade looks kind of bad...not a very good one. Looks like he didn't bother to do much prep work, the damascus is all blurry.

[@Franksbowsbladesandbanger]

Cold as fuck!

[@Tyler_Macari]

Do you still have this haha

[@weirdmusicmixmaster]

oilspill orangepeel starry nightmare build

[@BigThumpr1]

Gorgeous knife. Only thing is the hardware, it’s too shiny and draws the eyes away from the all that amazing work in the knife.

[@aHigherPower]

I wish you would do watch reviews Jim.

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft 5 Minute Watch Review channel is also me.

[@troywheatley744]

Jim Skelton ...well hell, i didnt know this...I got some viewing to do, subbed over there

[@aHigherPower]

Great I'll check it out.

[@aHigherPower]

Oh man your last review was over a year ago Jim. :(

[@maximillianudar6324]

Hey, quick question, Jim what do you use to sharpen your knives

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

Maximillian Udar I’m also a knifemaker so I use my grinder. I don’t use consumer sharpening kits.

[@AJ-rx6mq]

Why in the world would you get a custom SNG without his DAMASCUS??????

[@jonlipton9079]

Mick makes beautiful stuff but due to all the stolen valor controversy and his statements on it and what he claims he has been through i cant buy his stuff. I don't mean any disrespect but as a person who is joining the armed forces it is hard to buy from someone who has said the things he has said about himself and his untrue accomplishments . The Reason i buy spyderco and starting to buy Brous Blades is due to the quality of people they are and the quality of their products.

[@rogerloess2379]

jon lipton I think a better reason not to buy them is their unreliable quality control, not to mention being overpriced. Owned 3 strider folders all had bladeplay

[@hellcatdave1]

Brous is a scumbag. Sorry to be blunt, but do not support him...his quality is not even good.

[@Glenn056]

BROUS?! Hahahaha you should do some digging about Brous if you're so into backgrounds

[@creamskye]

I know what you mean, he makes beautiful looking knives but I could never buy one. My dad and boyfriend are vets, so I can't just get past the stolen valor. Maybe if he made a sincere apology that would be one thing, but to my knowledge he's never apologized or taken responsibility. I'd be ashamed to own one of his knives.

[@jonlipton9079]

Doombird from what I know he did apologize but still it does not change the fact of what he said.

[@VexChoccyMilk]

neat, eh?!

[@chasestamper4945]

Moist Nugget.

[@PureAsGold]

Jim are you getting the Dodge Demon?

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

HopHaze Zero interest. Since you can’t just run around on race fuel daily driving, you can’t run the other ECU, and the car would be terrible driving on the street in drag mode. So driving without the race gas mode on and in a normal driving mode only makes it as fast as my Hellcat on light mods. Now the new Hellcat Red Eye is a consideration though... it’s running 797hp on pump gas and has the same electronics package for performance that the Demon has.

[@PureAsGold]

Jim Skelton That makes total sense after reading up on the red Eye! How is your Hellcat holding up??
