This opinion is shared by every other veteran I've asked thus far. It is my opinion that these statements are straight out lies, and anyone making these claims is lying throuhg their teeth. I have never heard of anyone ever being sentenced to Somalia with their pay kept as forfiet. I'll state this, straight up: I have never heard of a spinal damaged E1, who has been barred from reenlistment, being recruited into any Special Operations role. What are we suppossed to believe here? What would a reasonable man believe? That they can get away with it, because as long as they don't answer questions directly they can't be proven wrong? That being able to win in a fistfight negates backing up your argument? That there is no accountability for lying and pretending to be something you aren't? That it's ok to fabricate their history because people will defend them as long as they are charming enough? I have to wonder, when someone claims that they were to be sentenced to serve in Somalia 5 days ago, claims they were a combat vet in 2000, has multiple magazine articles describing them as Special Operations personnel, and none of this is born out by the facts. I keep hearing comments about "oh, he made a mistake" and he "paid his dues" and "learned his lesson" The court documents state information that contradict what Mick Strider has claimed repeatedly, since 2000 until present. The claims Mick Strider made don't make sense. I’m proud to say it was an epic ride with a hell of a lot of amazing Friends.The magazine articles don't make sense. We started this ride with a PALS mentality and never once let off the gas pedal. There are now plenty of knife makers building actual hard use knives, we have earned a rest. When we started this there was a giant hole in the knife industry. With he and I doing our own things, and our buddies having moved on to other things, we would rather finish strong then start doing the Indian casino circuit. Your guarantee is still valid.ĭuane and I made this decision because Strider Knives isn’t the same. I will also continue warranty service on all Strider Knives products. I will continue to produce select items on a limited basis thru MSC as my “Classic Line”. The last “Strider Knives” will be sold at Blade Show 2017, at the end of which we will strike the Strider Knives colors. So here’s the shortĭuane and I have decided to retire Strider Knives Inc. I will be writing about this for some time…. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not possible to do in a single sitting. I’ve been pondering over this post since January. We have been hated and loved and hated some more. Twenty five years of employing our retired friends and supporting those still in the fight. Twenty five years of changing an industry. Twenty five years of the He Man Woman Haters Club. Twenty five years of the Mick and Duane show known as Strider Knives. Here is Mick Strider’s entire unedited post: Grab a Pack of 5 Microfiber Blade Sleeves for $8.99 < < “I will be writing about this for some time.” But, Strider promises that he’ll provide more information. The announcement left some unanswered questions including the fate of his Pro-Tech SnG collaborations and whether he’d consider licensing designs to a knife manufacturer. He also reassured Strider owners that he’ll honor their warranties on an ongoing basis. we have earned a rest.”Īs for the future, Strider said he’ll continue to produce high end customs within his Classic Line. “When we started this there was a giant hole in the knife industry. “We would rather finish strong than start doing the Indian casino circuit,” he explained. “The last Strider Knives will be sold at Blade Show 2017, at the end of which we will strike the Strider Knives colors,” Strider wrote.Īfter 25 years in business, Strider says that he is satisfied with the company’s legacy and wants to leave on a high note. The timing left some fans wondering if the news could be a premature April Fool’s joke, but that appears not to be the case. In an early morning social media post, Mick Strider just announced that Strider Knives will be closing its doors.
