Strider SnG vs. CRK Sebenza

well... here it is.. I made the Native vid, and it got more views and responses in a day than my music vids do in a month, so I thought I'd do another one. This is a touchy subject, but just let it be known that this is just one man's opinion! I know I left a BUNCH of stuff out, so PLEASE comment good or bad!

do u think the linerless G10 side makes it weak? how tough is G10?

[iAMboognish]

@john1112112 nope. G10 is pretty bomber stuff... along the lines of carbon fiber.

Hi man. Like ure reviews. I was thinking of Spyderco Military Titan. How do u think that will compare to the Sebenza?

[iAMboognish]

There is no comparison between the two really. There is Titanium and S30V and that is it. The build of the Sebenza is waaaaay more thought out and expensive to accomplish. I'll be posting a video more about the ins and outs of the Seb really soon... that should help explain things!

Hey Archman, who makes that padded box you have for your knives. I swear I've seen that on one of the sites but I can't remember. Thanks

[iAMboognish]

@JRNY1605 It is a "Pelican Box." good stuff!

Just sittin' indoors, sunglasses on, discussin' knives. Baller.

Get the Spyderco Sage 2. I dont have many expensive knives in terms of Sabenza or Strider prices, but the Sage 2 is such an awesome knife. I know the tolerances are a bit better on CRK, but for much less money, you get a full titanium handle with great ergonomics, a full flat grind S30V blade, and great fit and finish.

If you like the Native, the Sage 2 will make you happy :)

Also, I didnt know CRK had that warranty issue, what a turn off :(

[nighta7]

great review! thx)

[12sick4x4]

@iq201 yup it voids the warranty.....

[iq201]

For $400, Chris Reeves seriously doesn't want you flick open the knife too hard? What the heck is up with that?

[SethVandenberg]

@VideoScenario LOL " If you can rock a Sebenza , you are a pimp in my book, but I'm not so lucky"

Honest I'm 63 and don't know what you mean. I've had several Striders. Don't care for em. EDC is a Glock 19, 2 Mags, 400 lum Surefire and about a pound of other crap. Admittedly went a tad over board on the " Soldier wannabes " Big fan of Jerry Busse ( cut a damn car in half with those) Swamp Rat ( inexpensive) Chris Reeve & Emerson (wave) JUST not all that thrilled with the Strider pocket tank.

[cyanleopard]

I think something most people don't talk about when choosing between these knives is functionality. Both are extremely fine blades. If you are just looking for a knife thin the Sebenza is fantastic and more knife thin you will ever need. If you need a tool that may be used from everything from cutting to a pry bar Strider is were its at.

Finally ordered a large Seb. 21 (graphic diamond plate pattern)

hope y are ok and start making some more vids.

[SethVandenberg]

The down side of " Strider. " Built on Mick's bogus Military Ops PR. They look like shit, weigh a ton and appeal to the little soldier wannabes. Chris is a KNIFE MAKER WHO PAID HIS DUES, and sells WORKING Art. ;P

[shaokem]
