Pretty similar looking. The Strider is clearly better-constructed. I guess time will tell if it's 7x better-constructed.

I haven't torture-tested it or anything, but I am liking this SnG.
It's noticeably lighter than the SBMF.
The ball-detent made it a little difficult to open at first, but it's breaking-in nicely.
For some reason I keep thinking it would be a neat design for a double-action auto conversion.
At this point, I'm thinking "cool knife -- but it'd be better if it only cost $200".

I'm sorry, one of those knives costs more than $200? Is it made of unobtanium.
didn't Buck buy Strider ?
I know that Strider was a good quality knife a while back.
It's interesting to me that most "gun people" aren't "knife people" as well.Quote:

I got the SMF-R.
Michael, that S&W Model 357PD HIVIZ in .41mag is SWEET. Nice, well done pic, too. Thanks for posting.
I've had a low grade curiosity/interest in the .41mag caliber for 20 years or so. Always thought if I found the right single action Ruger in .41mag that I may have to scratch that itch.
But seeing yours...well. Seems like a great combination of features.
How do you like it? Is the .41mag managable in that Airlight frame?
Best regards,

Your Buck Strider is the same as what i have. I got it cheap on ebay, and i do like it. However it doesnt hold a flame to the Strider knives.
I had to file down the plastic scales quite a bit, if you own one and put you hand in the same pocket that the knife is in, you get a decent nuckle "road rash" scrape.I used an emory board, its wayyyy better now.
Nice wheel gun too!

The heavier bullets and Buffalo Bore stuff isn't much fun.
Carries great though. Loaded, with the holster, it's only 35.76oz.
Honestly, I think if I had it to do over though, I'd go with the .44 Magnum version and load it with .44 Special's.

Honestly, I've quit carrying my Strider.Quote:
