The original knives designed for the Marines' SOCOM unit in 2003 do not include this feature, but subsequent versions do. The lockbar stabilizer is a metal disc contained in the titanium lockbar which is designed to preserve the life of the framelock by preventing overtravel and flex. The latest version of this knife (generation 2 and above) includes the Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer, a mechanism designed by custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer and licensed for use by Strider. The NATO Stock Number for the SMF knife is 1095-0. The handle is composed of a fire anodized titanium frame, oil impregnated bronze bushings, an oversized pivot screw 0.19 in (0.48 cm) in diameter, and a textured G10 glass-reinforced plastic scale with an incorporated backspacer. The knife features a 4 in (10 cm) drop point flat ground tiger striped blade of CPM S30V steel. (or lets ZT do it).The SMF knife is manufactured by Strider Knives of Escondido, California. I really hope that Fox makes a bigger one and Strider starts making knives and updating the SNG/SMF/PT line with lockbar inserts, bearings, flippers, etc. Although, if a flipper and bling isn't required, the PT CC is still easier to carry (slimmer profile, only marginally heavier, with a longer handle). Going to keep it as part of my EDC rotation, especially when I have to go light (suits) and don't want to strain pocket liners. pricey, but you can tell where the money went Who would have thought that a Strider would look elegant in 2019?! People used to complain that Striders were sharpened prybars, but the PT is super slicey in comparison and the most elegant out of the bunch. blade is very very thick, the angle at the tip is very very stubby, limiting stabby stabbiness. the back of the blade could use some grinding to smooth out the corners
flipping action isn't the greatest, the Falcon flips better (the PT is old school without a flipper or bearings and the action is pretty stiff) very sharp out of the box.one of the sharpest factory edges I've seen (and I own too many knives) amazing pocket clip with ball bearing (Falcon clip was originally defective, PT doesn't even have one) wide handle lets you get a good grip with great leverage for slicing (the PT has a flared butt which helps with rotational slicing, all the Ferrum designs seem to have super slim handles) very light at 2.1 oz (the Falcon is 3.6oz), but the PT CC is only 2.3oz and you don't get the pinky problem sleek design, I find the Falcon.overly complicated
#Strider knives cc vs lego full#
technically amazing, full carbon fiber framelock - beautiful bronzed hardware for some bling (didn't get the alu version because of the clip )
I found that putting a lanyard on it with a bead spaced to fall right behind my pinky helps with retention and comfort. I have medium/large glove sized hands, and I get get all 4 fingers on the Falcon and PT (barely) without use of the choil. Falcon and PT are better functioning small knives.
TL:DR - Suru is the hot rod of the bunch (really, it's pocket jewelry), but is a bit too small and quite expensive. Some comparisons against (i) the Strider PT CC (my OG small framelock), and (ii) the Massdrop/Ferrum Forge Falcon. Just got the Fox Suru in carbon fiber with bronze hardware.
