For instance, he was not the first to wrap a knife handle with paracord, but he was the first to do it in a way that was tough enough for sustained infantry use. Mick sampled some good ideas, but made them great. Soldiers, policemen, and other men going into harm’s way couldn’t buy them fast enough. No one carrying a Strider knife was going to be spotted because of sunlight glinting off of polished steel or a glossy leather sheath. These knives were the first indication of his innovative approach: in addition to their utilitarian design, the knives carried a subdued finish and subdued sheaths.
STRIDER KNIVES HT FULL
The knives he made didn’t look like the hunter-inspired knives seen in most PXs instead they were almost brutish in their functionality: beefy, solid, and with unbreakable ¼” stock full tangs. He started with a tabula rasa, a clean slate, informed only by his own experiences and knowledge of what a soldier needed in a knife. Mick’s approach was to not get burdened by the weight of past designs. This turned out to be fortunate turn of events, both for Mick and for the knife using world at large. In 1988, he began making specialized knives for use by the military. This restocking fee is in addition to the $15 non-refundable layaway fee.

I do not own a HT so can't comment on that.We offer a layaway plan on select products so you may pay for your order over a period of 60 days. I can assure that wearing protective gloves makes the handle much less of an issue and the fairly straightforward not so bulky handle style actually makes any hold of the knife possible with gloves on and the hold more secure as compared to bulkier contoured handles. While many Strider handles with paracord may seem blocky and uncomfortable I believe they have been designed for use with protective gloves such as combat gloves. It might be beneficial to note on Strider's not so well known benefit that many Strider models do actually have fairly ergonomic handles, the EOD probably being near the top. It seems optimal for military use but being a serialized memorial knife I just can't bring myself to using it. The other one, EOD has remarkable ergonomics and wickedest shaving edge I have ever owned. Having said that, I have two Striders and they are easily among the best of my knives as far as hard military usage goes. Maybe thats a clue on it's (lack of) performance? It does seem to have better ergonomics than HT just by looking at the pictures and it certainly looks well designed for soldiering. I haven't seen reviews on Microtech's Currahees actually.
