When I was in Whistler, BC for TEDActive2014 in March, they had TEDYou sessions with speakers directly on stage in front of me. This is the one that completely blew me away... I'm no romantic but it just sent shivers down my spine. It's something I will remember for life. If you have spare 15 minutes, I strongly suggest that you watch it...
I got my Strider PT today. First impressions... This thing was STIFF AS HELL when I got it. Taking it apart was a bitch because of the weird pivot screw. After some cleaning and oiling I finally got it to where you can flick it open. There still remains the issue of the edge which is in dire need of sharpening. First impressions:
- built nicely, no sharp edges, no blade play, no loose screws, uneven grinds or any of that - secondary edge is very thick - no lock rock (hallelujah) - stonewash is nice - despite being tiny as shit, very comfortable - terrible blade:handle ratio - for 50$ more, Sebenza offers a shitton more in fit and finish and overall build quality
Now let's get some pics up in this bitch
PT = properly tiny
Same price, buy the Sebenza because it feels nicer, like moving the tips of your fingers over the skin of a 23-year-old girl

Verdict: gonna send it for professional resharpening because I'm stoopy with the rods, then I'll keep it for a bit and see how it works out.

Is that The Gary model? OK, OK, to each his own, but is the handle at the back end shaped like that for better grip? Its just a shape I never liked, but as I said, to each his own, it'd be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

Strider PT update - I officially have lock rock. Unforgivable for a 300$ knife
:whofarted:Da fuk you gonna do?
What I always do, sell it in Serbia and if someone complains about it they can go fuck themselves. I will probably try my luck with another Strider but only once I personally check it for flaws. All bullshit aside, if you wanna spend 300$ on a knife, Chris Reeve is the way to go
Took it apart, put it back together, didn't even use it since the edge is FUBAR
Thats odd. No knife should do that. You got a lemon or something. Or you left lube on the lockbar. Which you should do on the Sebbie but not any other knife
