Strider designed the bayonet for Zero Tolerance Knives, which will release it as the ZT Bayonet D9.
The blade is CPM S30V and it features a tang extending all the way to the latch plate for increased strength. Strider Knives has designed a new bayonet it hopes to market to the US military. NATO Stock Numbers are: Strider SMF (officially - Knife, Folding, Special Mission) 1095-0, Strider DB-L (officially - Knife, Fixed, Camo) 1095-0, the JB1 (officially - Shroud Knife) 1670-0, and the Probe Knife 1095-0, built for landmine detection. Strider Knives currently makes several models specifically for units of the US Military in the Global War on Terror, each with its own NSN. Strider's first project as a company was to supply Naval Special Warfare Group 1 with WB and BG models in 1994. These models utilize the handle itself as the locking mechanism and are named the SMF, SnG, PT, and RC models. Strider makes titanium handled framelock folding knives.
The end results were two linerlocks known as the AR and GB models. To work toward this goal, Strider relied on the use of G10 Fiberglass handles, titanium liners thicker than what was in current use throughout the cutlery industry and an oversized pivot screw 0.19" in diameter. Strider's goal was to produce a folding knife that was as strong as a fixed blade. Strider folding knives Īfter eight years of making fixed blade knives, Strider turned to making folding knives. As the newest steel Strider uses, CPM S30V does not darken after heat treating, a black oxide coating is applied beforehand. After masking a blade before beadblasting, Mick Strider found it resulted in a striping or camouflage effect and it has become a part of the design. This resulted in knives with blades of ATS-34 or BG-42 coming back from heat treat with a very dark colored blade which would then be bead blasted a flat grey color. Strider uses a proprietary heat treatment originally developed by Paul Bos of Buck Knives. Strider fixed blade knives utilize Steel, Paracord or G-10 fiberglass for the handle material. Currently Strider does runs in many premium super steels (CTS-204P, Z-Wear, CTS-40CP, CTS-B75P, CPM-154, CPM-S110V,CPM-3V). Strider Knives makes folding knives and fixed-blade knives, using metals such as ATS-34, CPM S30V steel, titanium, stellite, beryllium, damascus steel, and BG-42 for the blades. is a custom and production knifemaking facility headed by Mick Strider based in San Marcos, California. But this is the first time it is appearing on a folding knife in an ongoing, production format.Strider Knives, Inc. There have been various one-offs and fixed blades throughout the years that have had a Persian blade shape. This isn’t the very first time Strider has experimented with a Persian influence. And another interesting twist compared to its relatives, the KRT’s clip is actually reversible. This first batch of KRTs are made from titanium rather than the G-10/titanium setup of many other Striders. That being said, the KRT does still have that signature angled butt end that is such a hallmark of Strider’s designs. The bottom side of its handle is scalloped into two large finger grooves, and the spine is curved instead of flat, as it would be on a standard SnG. The KRT’s ergonomics are a noticeable riff on the profiles of its famous predecessors. Strider measures the blade length from the pivot and have it down as 4.5 inches the blade steel, on this first run at least, is CTS-XHP. By and large, Strider knives have avoided a lot of the big knife trends, so it’s not entirely surprising that the KRT, like its stablemates, is not a flipper instead, it opens with a thumb oval, just like the SnG family. It can be best described as a Persian-style tanto, with a pronounced trailing point curving out to an abrupt and sharply defined secondary bevel. The first thing that catches the eye on the KRT is the blade. Mick Strider’s latest design brings a fresh, bold blade shape into the Strider family, while still carrying forward the company’s design lineage. It isn’t often that we get to see a brand new Strider model, but that’s precisely what released last week, in the form of the KRT.
