The SnG has had many generations come and go. The most current generation, with the blade stamped “M. Strider”, comes in a few common blade shapes, and many one-offs and customs. Today’s example of the SnG is a traditional drop point, made from CPM 3V steel. It’s a Monkey Edgeexclusive variant, but the blade grind is the same as all the standard pr...

The blade stops, which look like thumb studs, are positioned in a way when the knife is closed that they’re not usable for deploying the blade.

When spending $425-500 on a folding knife, the choices get tough, and the criticism is heightened. The SnG obtained it’s legacy from a hardcore group of knife makers, who show up to the fight with a serious knife. It looks tough, and acts the part. It isn’t made to be a kitchen companion, or to have a sleek, slender appearance. It’s made to cut wel...

Feb 13, 2018 · Much like the Chris Reeve Sebenza, the Strider SnG represents the top of the line for production grade folders. Toss in a Hinderer XM, and you have what many knife collectors like to call “the holy trinity” of high end production blades. Buy the Strider SnG at BladeHQ.
