Strider SMF Is It A Hard Use Work Knife

[@wcreview8227]

Having seen much of your collection, the amount of Striders you have speaks to the quality and usability.. When I find a knife I like I tend to go on a tear as well... I will be on a Strider tear very soon.. Just got a CRK as well... iwaitibg for that.

[@ScotchNThings]

Ya they just work for me.

[@plynch113]

Finally able to snag one brand new from southern edges!…my first strider hope it lives up to the hype!…now to find an sng to go with it…

[@ScotchNThings]

Nice. Let me know what ya think. And keep an eye on their instagram page for drop info

[@woodentulike2no]

I think I own 35 or 36 Strider folders...I have lost count. Best folder on,the planet.

[@ScotchNThings]

Ya I think I’m up around 12 now. And I agree

[@satudave]

I have owned quite a few SMF over the years. Some were awesome but a couple needed some help. Maybe it was just a phase but I will only buy one I can handle and inspect first.

[@ScotchNThings]

I’ve been pretty lucky with my striders. I just got another SMF from the blue line gear drop the other day. It’s buttery smooth out of the gate.

I agree, Strider knives are great hard use knives. Especially the SMF’s! And anybody that’s into high end production or custom knives, are always on a Strider kick. 🤣 they are my favorite knives on the market period. I have several thousand dollar Strider MSC customs that I carry and use daily. My super grails aren’t even safe queens. I love using them. And my SMF’s are my favorites. Awesome review man. Your going to make more fans. Lol. Only thing is, that SMF isn’t dirty! 🤣🤣🤣 and yes. You’re gonna like the GG more. They feel great in the hand. And if you can get your hands on a (DOUBLE GUNNER GRIP, DO IT!!!) You will not regret. They are the absolute best. Well 🍻 and thanks for sharing. Awesome video!

[@ScotchNThings]

Thanks for the response. Ya I don’t think you can beat a strider. I have all kinds of knives and love all kinds. But I don’t get why people bag on strider saying they are over hyped and over priced in today’s world. I think you can’t beat them for the money.

[@maraudermatt9452]

You know striders are my go to knife, amazing work knives, strong as anybody would need a pocket knife to be, my tiger stripe is by far the smoothest I have also, maybe a tiger stripe thing who knows but man I love seeing the love marks on that thing, couple drops on both sides of gunny juice has kept my blade rust free.. and you almost had me buying another smf on that post you made lol, just overall my favorite knife to use, and watch vids on, keep it up brotha

[@ScotchNThings]

Haha. I got one to edc. Just got it today. I’ll post up that video tomorrow. When you realize how good of a knife that are it’s hard not to want more and more.

[@maraudermatt9452]

@@ScotchNThings and more … and more and more lol… I own 7 now … can’t help myself, got 3 I use daily and then the rest are back ups lol.. it’s kinda sick now that I’ve thought about it like this lol

[@maraudermatt9452]

@@ScotchNThings really looking for a mefp sng if one ever comes your way and you snag it I would absolutely pay you the amount plus shipping, kinda weird request but literally the only one I want and don’t have at this point

[@ScotchNThings]

The good thing is they don really go down in value

[@ScotchNThings]

I love mine. I was holding out to try and get a drop. I got tired and just got one off the Facebook group for 800. If you are a member of the group there are usually one or two that pop up every week. I just had to have one in 3v. Such a great knife.

[@xrmatt1010]

I noticed the tiger stripe models tend to spot more.

[@ScotchNThings]

Ya I heard it’s from the bead blasting they do to get the finish. It leaves the metal more open to corrosion

[@no1fibersplicer525]

I have an old SMF. S30V stonewashed blade and lock. Lego. Are these going up in value?

[@ScotchNThings]

Ya depending on what they are. Some new ones go for over table and I see the old ones in good shape going anywhere from 600-1000 depending on the spec.

[@philipcarso8931]

It looks clean to me

[@ScotchNThings]

Surprising how well the tiger stripe cleans up

[@bawihmung3544]

What is the show side made out of?😊

[@ScotchNThings]

That one was cpm 154. It did great.

[@bawihmung3544]

@@ScotchNThings I meant the scale lol. Is it aluminum? I am thinking about getting one but not sure how durable aluminum would be. Thanks

[@ScotchNThings]

@@bawihmung3544 haha. Ya aluminum

[@ScotchNThings]

@@bawihmung3544 it held up great. I was expecting it to scratch easy but it didn’t.

[@bawihmung3544]

@@ScotchNThings thank you- I am going to get one

[@Damen0530]

How do you compare this to the Hoback Husky?

[@ScotchNThings]

The Husky is like a bigger Hinderer. And it’s just an impressive knife. That being said I just sold it and I’m already regretting it. But the Medford holiday show is coming up and I want to try and snag a ti praetorian. The SMF is such a good do anything knife.

[@Damen0530]

@@ScotchNThings Cool, good luck at the show!

[@ScotchNThings]

Thanks. I’m bummed now that it’s gone. It was such a hefty knife. I’ll probably look for an all ti version down the road.

[@Damen0530]

@@ScotchNThings I have a full titanium version, just let me know if your ever interested

[@ScotchNThings]

Will do. Thanks.
