Buck Strider Knives

[EzGoingKev]

What is the word on these?

They have the Tarani folder -



And the fixed blade -

[militarymoron]

the SBT is 'okay' if you can get it for cheap/closeout. the one thing i didn't like about it was that the detent to hold the blade closed wasn't very positive. it opened while in my pocket a few times and i stopped carrying it after that. the liner lock is also a bit on the thin side. i didn't find the edge particularly durable either - i've got some nicks on the edge from doing very mundane things.
my .02 - it's definitely not a strider. just a strider collaboration.

WHO has them? from what I can tell they've been discontinued and only available through private sale.

I have been looking for an 882 with ATS34 and BOS heat treat for a long time

[VooDoo6Actual]

far better blades out there imo.

Look at the CSAR-T for a beefy Buck folder with BOS ATS34 blade and Buck/Strider-like build (although TOPS design). Excellent knife for the money.

I have had one of the folders for years. Great all-around pocket knife. But I am no knife connoisseur.

I had one of the folders it was really heavy and really thick kinda boat anchor in the pocket like.

Care to give any recommendations?

Thanks

I had one several years ago and the blade almost closed onto my fingers because the liner lock wasn't engaging positive enough.

If you are looking for something in a similar price range take a look at a Benchmade Griptilion. I have had both and would take the BM over the buck any day.
