Strider 10 Year Anniversary SLCC

This was a total surprise for me! Not only getting the chance to get my hands on one, but how quickly and unexpectedly it arrived on my doorstep!

This is number 35 of 100 10yr SLCCs that were made. It is a Mick Strider customer fixed blade knife that is very very cool. Recurve blade, micarta handle scales, and wicked awesome Starlingear bronze bead!

I love this knife! I may report back after its had some carry time and I've sliced and diced a few things with it!

Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for watching!

Have you atleast stepped foot into a facilty that sells sheets of G-10. G10 and micarta is exactly the same product the just switch the name of it. Its a super big secret, I swear. Micarta is only produced in one placed in the world currently and i really dont want to get all into detail if, so please ask and ill make a video with micarta faclity brochures and catalogs to prove anyone wrong. g-10 and micarta same exact thing, its like Cornthian Leather commercials from that car company.

Quetbearr does a great vid on handle materials, I don't know enough on the subject to engage argument... but it seems that G10 is a fiberglass material set in resin, and Micarta is linen, canvas, or paper set in resin...

Here's the truth about G-10 and Micarta: G-10 is a type of Micarta.

There are different types of Micarta. As macj pointed out, some use paper, canvas, or linen. One particular type uses fiberglass, and that's known as G-10.

What we know as G-10 nowadays isn't even actually G-10, it's called FR4 - a flame retardant version of G-10.

Hope that clears up some confusion. :)

Well said! I was pretty sure both were just different materials set in resin! Thanks for the info!!

I figured as much, you can see the fibers in micarta. One of the cool things about this while youtube deal is I am always learning! Thanks

wrong.

g-10 is a fiberglass resin mix baked together. Micarta is Canvas and resin mixed together.

Gotta love Starlingear! I am kicking myself for not getting in on the Emerson/Starlingear ring collaboration! Someday*!
