Strider Knives makes folding knives and fixed-blade knives. Using metals such as ATS-34, CPM S30V steel, titanium, stellite, beryllium, damascus steel, and BG-42 for the blades.
Strider fixed blade knives utilize either parachute cord or G-10 fiberglass for the handle material.
Strider uses a proprietary heat treatment originally developed by Paul Bos of Buck Knives. This resulted in knives with blades of ATS-34 or BG-42 coming back from heat treat with a very dark colored blade which would then be bead blasted a flat grey color. After masking a blade before beadblasting, Mick Strider found it resulted in a striping or camouflage effect and it has become a part of the design. As the newest steel Strider uses, CPM S30V does not darken after heat treating, a black oxide coating is applied beforehand. |
