How are Strider knives made?
Per Mick Strider:
"We take a piece of metal, and grind off EVERYTHING that doesn't look like a knife!
We use fixtures
We use jigs
We use CNC
We use grinders
We free hand
We use hammers
We use fire
We use ice
If there is ANY way we can make the knife better......we do so.
.....its tough to hold a part in your hand in that damn CNC machine.....and ya get all that damn coolant on your shirt.....
To answer your question, we use ANY means necessary to make the very best product we can......
Just for the record.....we DO NOT water jet cut our profiles. We water jet cut an oversized blank, then mill the profile."
