终于写到strider了,期待jasonp的大作完成。
关于strider,我想说的实在很多,我是结结实实的strider铁杆,虽然我也喜欢别的很多品牌,虽然我了解strider的很多缺点,但是我就是纯的铁杆,不管什么时候,不管我有几把strider,我都是它忠诚的粉丝。这里最想补充的就是mick本人关于strider历史的一段简述,不管咱们怎么看待strider(有人喜欢有人不喜欢,太正常了),听听mick对strider的评述对于了解这个品牌是很有益处的。
Hey there wild man,
we have had a lot of questions, both of company history and of design philosophy. So if you don't mind, Ill go ahead and combine the two.
Strider Knives, as it currently operates, was founded in 1992. That is when Duane and I got together to design and build the best tools available to the average enlisted solder. Now this is where design philosophy comes into play. Notice I didn't say ‘Fighting Knives' or anything like that. We never claimed to be in the business of ‘Fighting Knives'. Though we do make them on occasion, we build "Tactical Knives". So lets go ahead right now and clarify just what I mean when I say "Tactical". Ready? ‘MADE FOR WAR'. Period the end. That is what ‘Tactical' means. Made for war. Just because it is made for war, it doesn't necessarily mean ‘made to kill'. Our knives are made to be ‘Tools'. Tools of war, yes. But tools. At the stage (in war) where you need to use your knife to kill, your having an exceptionally bad day and your blade geometry will be the last thing on your mind. Solders use guns to kill. Knives are for work. Have people been killed with Strider Knives? Yes. Sorry if that offends you. Do we make knives that are made specifically for killing? Yes. Again, sorry if it offends you. But the bulk of our business is for work. One of the greatest complements given to our company is this... " I own a LOT of knives. But I carry yours". Strider knives are made for solders. From the front line, eighteen year old grunt, to the professional. We make knives for work. I suppose its luck for us that knives designed for military work also work well for others. We do a huge amount of law enforcement and industry as well. Have you seen our Model BD? It is designed exclusively for the commercial dive industry.
What it comes down to is this, we take advantage of our tactical background, to build you tools that will not fail. If you work with your knives. We build knives for you. If you're a secret ninja, lurking in the shadows, just on the other side of a metal detector, your weird. But give us a call anyway. We'll hook you up.
There you have it. A little more on the design than the history, but then that's the way we like it.
Thanks again. Mick
