Howdy all. I'm looking hard at the Strider Knives XL SLCC for my next EDC fixed blade.
Any of y'all have experience with this knife? TIA, Ray |

No experience with the knife, really don't get the tiny little handle. Disclaimer: I do not operate operationally. I intend to buy the trainer version first. If it works out, I'll get the live blade. The grip looks pretty ergonomic, to me, and very low profile. |

That is an incredibly stupid looking knife. So much so, that it could be considered a "fantasy" blade. (If you are wanting a fantasy blade, I apologize for calling it stupid, and endorse your purchase) What are you wanting to do with this knife? What is your area of expertise, ref. knife design and use? |

Regular sized SLCC is almost a perfect EDC fixed blade and was made to fit in the inside pocket of a TAD Gear hoody.
The lanyard helps with getting a good grip on the knife. The XL looks cool, but my idea of a perfect SLCC would be a Stellite Nightmare grind. If you want my bonafides, read my articles in Blade magazine.

Thanks for the feedback folks. Had a Cold Steel Desperado years ago, and liked the general design.
Next interest was a Chris Los Banos MPT. Out of production, of course. Spyderco Street Beat? Fred Perrin Mini Bowie? The SLCC seems to have alot going on in an ergonomic package. $$$, for sure. |
