This GB HG #062, 1st Edition 2001, comes from the very first Liner Lock series Strider made.
I have a huge attraction for the Strider History and their limited runs.
Especially those from the old days, even though that is still mostly late last, and early this Century.
Finding any of these is hard, finding one in a near mint condition, is even harder.
Like most ### runs this one also has only 101 pieces.
This is yet another true piece of Strider Knives history.
The edge only needed some light strokes on a DiaFold Ultra Fine and a strop to get scary sharp.
On the hollow grind the tiger stripes show a nice warm reddish color.
Stamps on the ricasso in the old typography.
Can't get any closer withy my cam.
I read on the USN that at the time the customer had the choose between BG42 and ATS34.
The BG42's show up from time to time, the ATS34 I never did see in any for sale add.
Old School pivot.
Almost full polished locking surface.
Thick stock liners with the small locking liner cut out.
Compared to my other GB LL with the same cut out, this one is easy to handle.
As you can see this one still has the three screw pocket clip.
Dead centered blade when closed.
Duo photo with my Flat Grind GB LL. The diference in weight is significant. I still have to check.
