#STRIDER KNIVES WEBSITE DOWN FULL SIZE#
As I alluded to before, the grind on this knife is fairly chunky, and like my full size SnG, isn’t the best slicer in my knife drawer. It performed adequately in all the tasks I put it up to, although I wasn’t blown away by the performance of this blade. Despite the knife being well, a Strider, I opted not to super hard use instead relegating it mainly to cardboard and kitchen tasks> These are more of my normal EDC tasks for a knife of this size rather than a back yard beat down. I find the S30V relatively stubborn to work with, but I am still able to keep a decent edge on it. My particular PT came in S30V blade steel, and features a gently stonewashed with an even edge bevel. The grind of the PT leans towards hard use, just like it’s bigger brothers. It will open letters and cut boxes, just don’t expect it to peel away translucent thin pieces of cheese like a true gentleman’s folder. The blade is flat ground but still has plenty of meat behind the edge. The blade is Strider’s iconic drop point, complete with oval thumb hole and well spaced jimping. The PT falls into the pocket with hardly a whisper and rolls around with my keys and flashlight just like a $20 Swiss Army Knife might. Compared to it’s bigger brethren, the SnG and SMF, the PT is very much a true daily carry knife, and was designed with fans of small pocketable knives in mind. The PT has an overall length of 6.5″, sports a 2.75′ blade, and weighs in at a paltry 2.3 ounces. I’ll just babble on in my usual, loosely organized fashion, and ultimately try to determine whether the PT meets my approval as highly as Tony’s did. I won’t even pretend like I’m that sophisticated. It instantly elevated the knife up to “want” status and several weeks later I had the PT you see before you resting comfortably in my pocket.Īs usual, Tony did a great job reviewing the PT with a catchy intro weaving artfully into background info on the knife and of course leading into his famous (infamous?) 20 point scale. Case in point, I had absolutely zero interest in the Strider PT until I read Tony’s post on it. It often piques my interest and expands my collection into all sorts of unhealthy directions.
