sometimes when I'm out, I miss my dmcg and wish it was there with me.

never said that! they're not fantasy knives, but a folder's use becomes very limited when you give it a broad blade of thick stock. they are not practical. they're for show. anything you wanna do with that you can do better with a leek.

I think some striders are okay, but I like kershaw/zero tolerance, spyderco, and benchmade much better.

Big spyderco fan here as well. I've never gotten a knife out of the box as sharp as my old-school endura with the plastic pocket clip. That knife has been in my EDC rotation for over ten years.

Man, have you handled one? I think they are great, at one point I was a Chris Reeve dealer but a SnG is what would be in my pocket if I was going to carry one of those two.

If money is zero issue Strider is great IMHO. As far as the "tough"(sebenza, hinderer, Emerson, Strider) folders go it is my favorite.

zero tolerance 300 would be my mall ninja weakness. i have the 200 and i never use it.

I want to pick up the ZT 0300, and love spydies..but although BM has nice knives, they are a terrible company and I don't like to support them..

Mag, I've had both and some Striders have much thicker stock than others. The liner on the Leek isn't up for the torque the SMF frame lock could take.

I've been drooling over the ZT 0350 (smaller version of 0300)



BM a bad company? How so?

Mag, I had a Strider AR and it was huge and I would even call it mall ninjaish. But the SnG is a different beast all together. Also, later generation striders have much beter fit and finish.

Actually, the SMF is pretty dang big too.

The SnG was pretty sweet.

Hmm, whats their problem? They fixed a knife of mine once no hassles but it did take over 6 weeks.
