If you "need" a Strider, you need a fixed blade!

All of Farids stuff is well over built! I have never been taken with them, much for that reason.severedthumbs wrote:I disagree, being the Englander you are I am surprised you are not impressed with the Farid T-1000, I handled one and it was fixed blade like.

It is a real shame because the samples I have handled have had some top class work put into them. And on one, the file work was exquiste.
I've never met the guy or seen a photo, but I've always imagined him to be 6'11" 350lbs of muscle and no neck! But loves his mom!! :rolleyes:

Mine has removable screws. The handle is fine, the sebbie has flat handles and no one complains. I like the satin finish on the blade much better than stone wash.Sinbad wrote:i can accept that
I love that
but wouldnt u like ur manix with removable screws and a three D handle and a stone washed blade?
and a less robust less cluncker look?
Maybe go with ti handles and make it a frame(integral) lock.
