Strider VS Sebenza: The Great Debate-Part 1

I attempt tackle the great debate in this one. Most important thing to know is that person preference is the deciding factor in which of these two titans you decide to buy (that is if your crazy enough to spend $400+ on a pocket knife)
I ran over on this one and had to edit into two halves. Thanks for watching!

That Strider is a gorgeous knife, but I don't think there's any way I would ever pay that much for one. Perhaps that will change in time, when I have larger piles of money lying around my house.

@Spectre426 Yeah, $400+ is a crazy amount to pay for a knife when sub $100 production knives will work and last just as well... Something about the knife collecting sickness though, we tend to lust for better, stronger, more unique knives... My Emerson custom CQC-6 was $1425!! That is insane!! But I don't regret it, it's like expensive watches, glasses, or jewelry...

To me one is an F-16 and the other an A-10 Thunderbolt. Different plane, different job both effective. I have an SFM myself and it is a workhorse. Maybe one day I'll cruise around in a Sebbie.

@newcoyote Dude!! I absolutely LOVE that analogy! One is razor sharp deadly precision, the other is pure ugly badass down and dirty destruction!!

That being said, I worked on F-15's when I was enlisted! ; )

Why the hell do people compare the two at all? One is classy and limited in function, one is so heavy duty looking that it's almost ugly, but it's so versatile. Two completely different worlds. Like comparing a sports car to a pickup truck. One is good for one thing and bad for the what the other's for. Just be content!

[macjmillsx]

@ShutUpJohnson I think the price is a big part of the reason these two get compared... If you had $400 and were crazy enough to spend that much on a knife, it's not uncommon to debate which knife to spend that much on... I totally agree with you.. like comparing a Mercedes with a Hummer, both great but both very different IMHO

[kenthenoob]

these kinds of reviews help me waste less time for my purchases and other things i could be doing instead of trying to gather all the information i can get for my decision. thanks so much, man. keep up the good work!

[MegaLaidback]

@macjmillsx i know u wrote this a long time ago. but tbh the warranty you get from strider makes it worth it and i rly think u know that so thats not what i where about on this comment.. its a sickness cuz u can buy 2$ knives and beat them to hell and when they break u get a new one. (atleast at my work) but i rather use my SnG cuz i know it will hold up for the beating and if it ever breaks i KNOW tStrider will take care of me! sweet emrson btw! and ty for a great insight of the knives!

[xilix]

@macjmillsx It IS a sickness dude. I so don't want to buy another knife, but I SO do. WTF is wrong with me? I'm all drooling over knives I have absolutely no business buying.

i just got my first Sebenza this morning & i am in love with it. i don't have a Strider yet but i do plan to get the Strider PT-CC.

@macjmillsx !!!$1425 thats a ar15 ammo or a nice optic!

[bieli0]

@macjmillsx excellent response.. it's true

[GMGvanS]

@AKSKSMAN So you would rather make love with 100 ugly fat hoes than to 1 beautiful woman? lol

[GMGvanS]

@csmeltz For you it is.
