My mini grail has arrived: Strider PT W/Stone Washed Blade

[Gadget Guy]

I have waited a long time for this knife. Every single time it comes up for sale it is sold out before I can buy it. I love the look of a stone washed blade and this one is really nice. I have never liked the Strider tiger striped blades. I'm going to edc this knife for a long time to come. I'm going to rotate it with my CRK Umnumzaan. 






Even the clip and frame are stone washed!!

now thats a nice one that is a frame lock, right? what steel does it use?

[Benner]

That does look sweet.

Yes, its a framelock. Strider uses S30V for their blades.    I'm going to take a picture of the back as well...

So basically you can use either stud or hole to open the blade?

No, the stud is just a blade stop. The hole is the only way to open the knife.

I love the look of those Striders GG.

I agree about the tiger striping too - don't think much of that.

Good catch GG , I've been schlepping one since 2005 , about the only EDC folder I have ever been faithfull to . I wish Stonewashed had been around then . Mine has been to hell an back , fishing , camping , even been a dive knife , lockup and everything still perfect .
