Buck Knives for a variety of Strider developed knife designs mass produced at a more affordable price.Strider Knives has collaborated with the following companies: The SOG Knife, Marine Raider Stiletto, and V-42 Stiletto have been used to raise funds for Veteran's Groups associated with those units. These versions have the same profile as the originals, but incorporate modern steel and materials in their designs. Strider Knives has manufactured modern versions of classic military designs such as the V-42 Stiletto, the Marine Raider Stiletto, the SOG Knife, the USMC Fighting Utility Knife, and the Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife. Strider designed the bayonet for Zero Tolerance Knives, which will release it as the ZT Bayonet D9. The blade is CPM S30V and it features a tang extending all the way to the latch plate for increased strength. Strider Knives has designed a new bayonet it hopes to market to the US military. National Stock Numbers are: Strider SMF (officially - Knife, Folding, Special Mission) 1095-0, Strider DB-L (officially - Knife, Fixed, Camo) 1095-0, the JB1 (officially - Shroud Knife) 1670-0, and the Probe Knife 1095-0, built for landmine detection. Strider Knives currently makes several models specifically for units of the US Military in the Global War on Terror, each with its own NSN. Strider's first project as a company was to supply Naval Special Warfare Group 1 with WB and BG models in 1994. These models utilize the handle itself as the locking mechanism and are named the SMF, SnG, PT, and RC models. Strider makes titanium handled framelock folding knives. The end results were two linerlocks known as the AR and GB models. To work toward this goal, Strider relied on the use of G10 Fiberglass handles, titanium liners thicker than what was in current use throughout the cutlery industry and an oversized pivot screw 0.19" in diameter. Strider's goal was to produce a folding knife that was as strong as a fixed blade. Strider folding knivesĪfter eight years of making fixed blade knives, Strider turned to making folding knives. As the newest steel Strider uses, CPM S30V does not darken after heat treating, a black oxide coating is applied beforehand. 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. 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. Strider uses a proprietary heat treatment originally developed by Paul Bos of Buck Knives.
Strider fixed blade knives utilize either parachute cord or G-10 fiberglass for the handle material. 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.
