Very cool Mick
Thank you NDD! Mick Striders knife is a real surprise to me (I don't get surprised very often in knife world) and I will tell him this in person next month at Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia. Anyone who is in the neighborhood is welcome and I can post more info on this show if requested. I'll be there with Chris Reeve. If anyone wants to contact Strider and has any problems, please advise and I will help. Time to post some pre history of Fairbairn Sykes Dagger on a new thread. I'll do that now.

I was given a supply of these nkives (daggers) to issue to my indige. I didn't really have a use for the knife. It had a diamond shaped blade which was good for stabing but useless for cutting. Yhe brass handle and knob were good for ringing someone's bell.
I issued them to my team and they became a real status symbol. Only the Special Projects Teams had them. They wore those knives everywhere. Check out the linked picture, click on it and you will notice they even wore the knives for PT. I have some movies of them which are hilarious.

Hard men there QRQ. I can see it in their faces even in a decades old pic on the internet. You must have been very proud of them.

Stating the obvious, knives mean something don't they? Great picture! Thanks.

Apparently Strider is going to make that V42 a part of their line and are indicating they will have a special price for certain people with paperwork - I'm guessing SF guys?
Sounds like somebody may have started a trend. LOL
Maybe we'll all get lucky and the competition will get so fierce the blademasters will one up themselves into donating them to SF guys with combat patches. LOL

uh, it's starting to get warm in here, no wait! My computer is having a wardrobe malfunction, (oops, wrong website) I mean it's not working right, it's mixing up the words here on PF. Going out to shop now to sort thru hammer collection for the Hard Drive Hammer, I think that is the long handled 12 pounder. NO WAIT! All they need are free knives! why didn't I think of that? That's reasonable. Oh yeah, forgot, divorce lawyers cost a lot..would have to include legal surcharge with free knives. Ok, now I'm on track.

That comes under the category of "Acute Humor Failure" and it's always caused by us. Prompting "AHF" is a diminishable skill so work hard at maintaining your qualifications. I do.

Mr. Harsey, have I induced AHF in you as well?
I sincerely hope not (unless it was in a very worthy cause).
Thanks for the kind words otherwise.

I spoke with one of the owners of Strider Knives last night and told them to start paying attention here.

I told Mick I had "borrowed" his pics and showed them to the community.
