Genuine Strider SMF?

[Shooter1075]

Hello Strider-o-holics!

Found a really cool Strider SMF and went out on a limb and bought it. Wanted to reach out to those who really know Striders and see if you think this one is a genuine strider.

It’s supposed to have been a Blue Line Gear Exclusive SMF, with a PD#1 Blade. I’ve tried to research it best I can, but can’t find many that are the same or the original listing with Blue Line Gear. On the other hand, I don’t see any of the clones with the Blue Line Gear LBS or a PD#1 Blade.

Thought some of you with more knowledge of Striders may be able to chime in.

Yes, it's the real deal. The font used for the stamping on the blade and the hardware are dead giveaways that it's real. Also, the owners of BLG are awesome and could easily verify it for you, as well as Josh from strider. His email is striderguys@striderknives.com

Where did you find it?

The fakes are very easy to spot, like this one below. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

Thanks a bunch brother. Believe it or not, this beast came all the way from Russia. I really took a chance on it, but I thought it was going to be legit. It’s the first SMF I’ve had, and a solid, tank of a knife! I’ve emailed pics to BLG, and I’m sure they will have the same response.

Yup, that's a chance I wouldn't have taken!

Some very rare striders are always posted on Instagram and other social media but they are always in Russia!

It’s real. It may have been re-cerakoted but that doesn’t void the warranty. But it’s 100% real.
