Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Jesselirola]

So Strider knives have been growing on me, I dig the Baby huey and the SNG or whatever it's called.

I want something bigger than my small sebenza and figured these are the ticket.

I also really dig their divi camo blades, cool shit.

Anyone have any experience with these?

More so I'm interested in the Concealed Carry vs Regular knives and how much of a difference that makes.

Cheers,

Jesse

This guy makes some nice badassed folders-

I got real obsessive about folders about 6 months ago and placed an order with him, but I pulled it back because it was a bit much for my uses and it would probably scare my wife and kids if I whipped it out in the kitchen.

I ended up with a large sebenza I'm very happy with, now I need a sharpmaker to keep the edge.

The nice thing about the Sharpmaker is that it's fool proof. You pretty much can't fuck up your knife unless you're pressing REALLY hard on the stones or you're not paying attention and you roll your knife off the stones

Nice knife Jeff. How you like it?

I had an SnG for a long time. It's a nice knife. It's not as "refined" as a Sebenza. Lock up is solid, the action in the pivot isn't as smooth. The digicamo blades are nice, I don't believe the finish ever wears off. I've handled the concealed carry and owned the regular one. The concealed carry gets my vote, it's slimmer in the pocket and won't wear out your jeans from taking it out of your pocket. I found that the regular was abrasive and would tear up the pockets over time. That being said, the regular is very classic Strider. The owners of Strider are nice guys too, I've hung out with them quite a few times

The one thing that I really like about the Striders over Sebenzas is the heat treat for their steel. Even though they're using the same steel (or at least they used to), the Striders kept an edge for much longer without needing a sharpening. That comes in handy if you're using your knife A LOT between sharpenings or you're sharpening incompetent

Anyone know of a nice boot knife? I've always had my eye out for one to stick in my Wescos.
