Strider Knives
Strider Knives built its name on a single idea taken to its logical extreme: the overbuilt tactical folder. From its San Marcos, California shop, Strider produced knives whose thick titanium frames, stout blade stock, and distinctive aesthetics, the concentric-circle machined lock side, the tiger-stripe finishes, the gunner-grip G-10, made them instantly recognizable and endlessly imitated. The SMF became one of the most famous American tactical folders ever made when it was issued to a Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the compact SnG carried the same DNA to everyday size, both now firmly in grail-collectible territory.
The .75 AR Tanto in S45VN
Our current Strider selection features the .75 AR Tanto, a compact expression of the house formula: a PVD-coated CPM S45VN tanto blade, a steel whose balanced edge retention and toughness our knife steel guide covers in depth, over anodized titanium framelock construction in bronze or blue. Everything that defines a Strider is present at this scale, the flat-ground tanto geometry, the bank-vault lockup, the frame machined like it expects abuse, in a footprint that actually disappears into a pocket.
Why Striders Hold Their Place
Few brands generate the collector gravity Strider does. Production has always run limited, the designs never chase trends, and the knives themselves are the argument: among hard-use titanium folding knives, the Strider pattern remains the reference point that newer overbuilt designs get measured against. When one lands in stock it draws collectors and users alike, and it rarely waits long for either.
