TAD Strider SMF Knife was the first blade in over 60 years to be issued to a Marine Corps unit, and the first tactical folder issued within the USMC.
FEATURES:
• Made from CPM S30V, the blade has great edge retention while still being easily maintainable in the field. The blade is fit with a thumb hole opener as well as aggressive jimping that runs along the thumb ramp and the butt of the folder.
• A forward choil allows you to have greater leverage by choking up on the knife or take advantage of increased stability when doing fine pointwork.
• A heavily contoured full size handle allows you to evenly distribute your hand pressure for control.
• Strider’s signature Digicam finish is etched onto the blade. This process serves to hide scratches accumulated from use and enhances protection from the elements. The flame-striped titanium frame is built with black hardware pieces that completes the austere aesthetic of the SMF.
• Distinct TAD characteristics include a three-quarter swedge and laser etched logos.
